Supreme Court defense

Madison, WIS.,, Feb. 23.-Ihe Su-
preme court came in at 10 o'clock this
morning and will probably be in ses-
| sion all the week. The last case set
| for argument is state No. 2, an appeal
in the case of AIdrich l.. Schissler, for
alleged errors in the trial when he was
adjudged sane by a jury. The follow
ing general synopsis of the case is
given in the printed briefs:
The statement of facts as presented
by the brief of the state is that on No
vember 26 1902, Aldrich l.. Schissler
murdered Frederick William Reul in
Milwaukee county. He was subse-
quertly convicted and sentenced to
twenty-five years in prison at Waupun.
The appeal is for the alleged errors in
the trial of the special plea of insanity,
which was interposed, and Schissler
found to be sane.
Story of the Shooting
HO Hdlu ldCUO SUdUCo are UudU hGul
was bank clerk at Watertown, who
made weekly trips to Milwaukee to at
tend a dramatic school, where he
formed the acquaintance of Miss Ben
son. who introduced him to Lillian
Desmond, wife of Schissler; that none
of the parties knew that Miss Des-
mond was married woman until after
the shooting which occurred in front Of
the Schissler residence. The story of
the case goes on by stating that on the
fatal November 25, 1902, Reul came to
Milwaukee aud attended matinee at
the Davidson theater. That in COM
pany with an actor named Crandall the
deceased spent the evening at the
theatre with two women After the
performance they spent some time at
the Empire and the Palln garden. and
took carriage to go home at II
o'clock. They drove directly to 1921
Cedar street. When they arrived
there SChissler came out of the house
put his head in the carriage, said
''Who are you?" to Reul, and at once
shot him in the breast. Reul said:
81 am shot, ;" fell back and died with.
in an hour.
The brief then says Schissler re-
turned to the house. told his sister-in-
law, Miss Kallas, what he had done,
and said he would probably go to pris-
on for life. A short sketch Of the life
of Schissler is given, showing that he
was 81 years old, and was a former
saloon keeper and was a gambler at
the time the shooting took place.

WAS TIRED OF LIFE.
Frank J. Wiese, While Standing
Before Mirror, Shoots Him
self with a Revolver.

Frank j. Wiese, who resided in Ocon
omowoc avenue, just outside the city
limits, committed suicide at 9 O'Clock
Saturday morning. He used SO cali
bre revolver and stood in front of 8
mirror in his bedroom when he fired
the fatal shot, News Of the deed was
conveyed to this city by Charles Roper
who was driving by the place when he
learned of the tragedy and hastily re
turned to the city and notified DR..
Werner, who found the man dead
when he reached there. The bullet
entered the forehead in slanting di-
rection and large pool of blood
showed the terrific impact Of the shot,
which literally cut the skull in twain.
Mr.. Wiese had been in poor health
for while and was respondent. He
owned a nice home and his family re
lations were of the best. Besides his
widow he leaves four children, the
eldest of whom is only years old.
He served in the regular army where
he received a wound which crippled
one of his hands, but he was a hard
worker and always took a pride in
keeping up his place. For some time
he was janitor at Turner Opera house.
He was 53 years old.
The verdict of the corners jury was
that he was temporarily insane. The
testimony of his wife brought out the
fact that a terrible scene was enacted
before he committed the deed. After
doing the chores in the morning he en-
tered the house and complained to his
wife about his sickness, which was de-
scribed a nervous debility. He took a
medical work on that disease from the
book case and began reading it when
all of a sudden he jumped from his
chair, tore the volume into shreds and
put them into the stove. lie rushed
about the house and beat on the wall
with his hands, and began a search for
revolver, asking his wife repeatedly
where it was. At last he found it and
then began a struggle for the weapon
between him and his wife, but be
pushed her away and she fell against
the stove, burning her left arm. ln
the meantime the children screamed
in fright and begged their father to
stop, but the entreaties of the wife and
children were of no avail Mrs. Wiese
rushed from the house to a neigh
boris place fer help, but upon their
return her husband was ccld in death.
Mr.. Wiese was a member OF the
Modern Woodmen. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
to Oa6 Hill cemetery. Times.
