bruises on the head were caused by
some blunt instrument and not by
fist. Undoubtedly the Commissions were
caused by the same instrument.
DR.. w. M. Shultz also saw DR.. Ha-
n-Berger the day of the assault. He
found two bruises on the head, one of
which showed a slight depression. Ills
examination was only superficial.
Louis w Shodair, landlord of the
Shodair black, where DR.. Hagen Berger
has his office, was next called. On
May % he heard on unusual noise In
DR.. Hagen-Bergers office and, with
others. went to see what the trouble
was. DIR. Hagen Berger came running
out and cried: There's a crazy man
in there" Witness went to the door
of the office and saw the defendant
inside. On inquiring the trouble, the
defendant replied eXcitedly: THE
- killed my wife" Witness order
ed him out of the building. He saw
something in Schumacher's pocket, but
did not know what it was.
Attorney NJ. L. Wines was called and
asked if Schumacher had ever uttered
threats against DR.. Hagen Berger in
his presence He said he had not.
did you not tell DR.. Hagen-Berger
the defendant had uttered such
threats?" MIR. Connolly asked.
Witness replied thar he did not, but
lOlu III. sci h0 anu ,pNiio
macher ought to settle their differences
in some way.
You didn't use the words, You ought
to be careful doctor. or Schumacher
will do you iniury?' ...,
mo. I didn't: l only told Dr. Hagen
Berger that they ought to settle their
differences somehow, as l didn't want
to see any one get hurt
A. Z. Kear, cashier for the street
Railway company, who lives at the
Shodair block, said that he heard the
disturbance in DR.. Hagen Berger'S Of
flee. and saw the doctor run out to
call for assistance. Witness went with
Mr.. Shodair and saw Schumacher with
a billy in his hand. Schumacher put
it in his pocket when he went out, in
response to Mr.. Shodair's order to
leave the building. DR.. Hagen Berger
was bleeding profusely and had a
lump on his head as large as a wal
nut. Witness repeated the words of
DR.. Hagen-Berger as he ran out of his
office and those of the defendant as
given by the previous witness, and said
Schumacher pulled the billy out of his
pocket after having once put it there.
but at once put it back again. DR..
Hagen Berger insisted on an officer be-
ing called, but witness and Shodair
would not allow one to be called, as
they We're confident they could prevent
any further assault. No especial point
was made on the cross eXamination of
the witness
Evan D. Davis, a street car conduct
or, who lives at the Shodair block, saw
DR.. Hagen-Berger run out of his Of
flee bleeding and heard him yell some
thing about a crazy man. He saw the
defendant in the 'hall with something
in his hand, but he could not tell eX-
actly what it was. It appeared to be
made of leather and was held by a
loop around the wrist. The witness
appeared to know very little about the
trouble. but he heard DR.. Hagen Berger
say: THAT man is crazy and heard
Schumacher say; THAT man killed my
wife"
DR.. Shultz was recalled and asked if
he knew whether a billy was a dead
~ weapon or not. He said he had new
er seen a man killed with one, neither
had he seen a man killed with 49,
inch cannon, but all evidence was to
the effect that they were regarded as
deadly weapons.
Mr.. Connolly announced that the
state rested and Mr.. COtter said he
would submit the case on the strength
of the evidence in relation to the com
plant, which charged that the defend
ant had attempted to kill DR.. Hagen
