the Spectator, therefore, great pleasure to
relate an incident proving that there are
still Mark Tapleyss. in the world who can
come out strong even in fOlding-bed

ties often detailed in the newspapers The

vanced In years. who was visiting her son.
Her muffled screams awakened the family
in the middle of the night Woman-like,
she had locked the door. but the son be-
thought him, opportunely, of a ladder
which the painters had left standing
against the house, and thus climbed into
her room through a window and rescued
her. When she had assured herself that she
had not been greatly damaged she turned
to her and said: Ned, what do you
suppose was the first thing that came to

Evidence so Far of Damaging Char
acter-English Naval Surgeon in Jail
on a Charge of Begging.
Special to the indianapolis journal.

SbCSidi W the journal.
KOKOMO. Ind. March 25.-The State is
building up strong case against Mrs.
Augusta Schmidt, the wealthy German
woman now on trial for murder in tie
admitted killing Of Oscar Walton, her ten
ant. Saturday the jury went In a body to
Cass county to examine the farmhouse
where the tragedy occurred Oct. 90 1893.
The evidence so far is extremely damaging
to the defendant. A number OF women
testified that eight days prior to the killing,
while at dinner party in the vicinity, Mrs.
Schmidt related her quarrels with her ten
ant, complaining that Walton. in dividing
the hay. took all the best loads, giving her
small, weedy ones, closing by saying she
had purchased revolver TO shoot the man,
and would Kill him the next time he called
ner lar. 1t was also in evidence that
Augusta, after the shooting, fled to the
town or Walton, across lots, without hat,
bonnet or wraps. wearing an old calico
dress with sleeves rolled up and her hair
rying loose. On one foot was an old leather
boot. on the other a rubber boot, both
with tops cut off. After reaching Wal
ton and going to the calabOose for safety,
the woman picked her nose until 1t bled
and then with her hands smeared the blood
TO Logansport in that condition to make
believe Walton had beaten her, but the
officer made her wash and change her
Walton called TO see her. and their testi-
mOny that all the blood came from
her nose and that she was not hurt The
woman claims that Walton struck her once
ard was In the act Of striking her again
when she fired. The testimony of Mrs.
Elizabeth Walton, the aged mother of the
victim, is that Augusta came into their
part OF the house and began a TRADE of
abuse, whereupon Oscar opened the parti-
ton door and pushed Mrs. Schmidt back in
her own part, and while trying to fasten
the door the Infatuated woman burst 1t
open and shot him dead. Walton fell in the
doorway. Mrs. Schmidt declares Walton
was following and striking her when she
shot in self-defense- The defendants ten
year-old boy corroborateS his mothers
story. This boy and the aged and decrepit
Mrs. Walton were the only eyewitnesses
except the old man Walton, and he is non
comDos mentis, and therefore not a com
petent witness. The trial will last all this
