THE SCHOOLER CASE.

"pel" MorGanf'sid-Both VIII Oe'
fsnd Themselves by Counsel.

FREDERICKSBUR0. VA. January
2-(Special)--willIe Hunt. the alleged
murderer Of Peter Schooler, was given
preliminary hearing at Falmouth to-day.
The examination was quito lengthy ana
was not concluded until late hour To-
night. The most important evidence for
the Commonwealth was that OF Mrs. ALVIN
limerick. who identified the overahs
found. and on which there was blood as
belonging to the accused. and that OF her
father, who identified the shoes. MIS-.
Limerick also testified that Hunt was AT
her house until o'clock on the night the
murder was supposed to have been COM
mitted. Her husband testified also 10
having several conversations with the
prisoner before his arrest. during which
he said 81 might as well be guilty as 10
be accused OF it."
QUITE A SURPRISE.
During his cross-examinauon, however
he admitted that before Hunts arrest ne
himself had been accused Of the murder.
This announcement was quite surprise
TO the audience and has given rise 10
much speculation. The axe with winch
the deed was committed was also pro.
duced in court. but to all appearances IL
made no impression on the accused. ior
ne exhibited a most remarkable indiner-
ence throughout the entire examination
and several times smiled when his couh-
sci. Mr.. A. H. Dickinson. cross -examineu
the witnesses. At the conclusion OF inc
evidence he was sent on to the grah9
iury. The hearing attracted a large crowd
10 Falmouth. but owing TO the Limited
capacity of the building only Witnesses,
lawyers. and press representatives were
admitted. The evidence against HuI' 70
purely circumstantal. but Is very strons'
sEARCEY's STRANGE CONDUCT.
Your correspondent was informed To-Day
that Searcey has not yet seen Morsam-
field although he Is allowed to walk
through the corridor. and could do so
~ ne desired. On the contrary. however,
no has not been on the floor where Nor
Garfield is confined. and from all appear
ances does not desire to see him. Nor
ranfield pursues his usual course and has
nothing 30 say.
BOTH WILL FIGHT.
Besides his counsel in Cincinnati. Sena-
tor William A. Little, Jr.. Will also de-
fend him. and I learned to-day from I'M
questionable authority that the counsel
Searcey had in Cumberland, Nd, VIII
represent him. This announcement VIII
no doubt create quite surprise. In view
of the fact that II has been repeatedly an,
nounced that he would have no counsel
and would plead guilty. This change Is a
mystery, and the trial Is looked iorwaru
to with considerable interest. That MOT
garfield would make fight there has
never been any doubt, but the announce.
ment that Searcey will do likewise VIII
doubtless open the eyes Of many.
