head with a hammer, fracturlng the
skull, were enacted to-day In Part |. OF
the Court of General Sessions, where
Recorder Smyth Is sitting.
Mrs. Dunn had made a good witness,
although 1t was plain that because of long
weeks Of ]debauchery she had reached
such a state on the day of the homicide
that she Is now unable to recall with
any distinctiveness the happenings Of
that day. She claims that the tragedy
was the elimination OF years or domestic
trouble .
That her husband frequently abused
and maltreated her, and that on the day
Of the killing. while she was sitting on
carpet preparatory to leaving her nus
band forever, he kicked her in the abdo-
men, and on her arising clutched her
neck and choked her, whereupon she
struck him with the hammer she had
been using in removing the carpet tacks
and which she still retained in her hand

Mrs. Dunn had said that her husband

his shoes. Mrs. Somier testified that he

aAVE MRS. SUSAN scHWAB.
The OFT Sisters Declare She
Basely Swindled Then.
No Asserts that She Merely Bor-
rowed Money from Them.

Mrs Susan Schwab, a dressmaker,
seed thirty-eight, living in a furnished
room at 81 East One Hundred and Thir-
tieth street, is, according to Detective
Weller, of the East Sixty-seventh street
squad, the queen of swindlers. He
took her as a prisoner to Yorkville
Court this morning, where half a dozen
of her alleged victims confronted her.
Three of them were sisters. named Mrs.
Elizabeth Haule. Of 1916 Eighth avenue;
Mary OFT, of 233 East Fi,ty-sixth street.
and Johanna OFT, living in East Twenty
second street, between Second and Third
nj
According to the sisters, they have each
been swindled by Mrs. Schwab OF various
amounts of money. Jan. 6 last, johanna
was working as a domestic In a bakery
on Third avenue. near One Hundred and
Sixth street. Mrs. Schwab made her ac-
quaintance there, and Influenced her so
much that she handed over N5 inside Of
half an hours acquaintance.
In a day or two Mrs. Schwab coaxed
Johanna to leave her position Inc go
and live with her, promising to secure
her an easy position as assistant dresser
IN Amberg's Germania Theatre. Johanna
was greatly pleased with her new ac-
qua~intance, and introduced her to her
sisters, Mary OFT and Mrs. Haule.
Within a weeks time Mrs. Schwab
started in housekeeping with Mary OFT,
It 235 East Fifty-ninth street, keeping
the furnished room. In Harlem at the
same time. She had promised Mary to
teach her dressmaking and also furnish
her a position in the theatre. Up to this
time Johanna did not secure, the prom.
as she was under 800 bonds herself in
the theatre she must have SIS as a guar
sntee OF good faith. Mary gave her the
money. but still the position was not
Mrs. schwab told her that She must
wait a few days for a vacancy In the
theatre. but she would teach her dress
making. Five days after she secured
the sT5 from Mary she managed to get
no more from her, saying that she had a
chance to buy 200 pieces Of silk cheap
at an auction. The samcday Mrs. Schwab
broke into Mary's trunk and disappeared
with a lot OF dress goods, an album, a
clock. and some underwear.
A day or " later Mrs. Haule said
that Mrs. Schwab called on her and
managed to get so on the plea that her
sister Mary was sick. Other complaints
Of this woman's n,lndling practices came
to the ears OF Police Capt. Strauss. He
detailed Weller on the case. and after
q months search the latter succeeded In
capturing Mrs. Schwab Wednesday night
in One Hundred and T~wentyieth street,
near Third avenue.
She took her arrest very coolly. On
the wa to the s~tation-house she told
the onicer that she had committed no
money from the sisters.
Among her other alleged victims were
Mrs. Hausman. Of 233 East F1fty-sixth
street. and MN. Fried. of the One Hun
