fered and gave orders that TO one be
allowed to see the prisoner with the
exception of his brother and attorney.
Suspect Becomes Impatient
Late in the afternoon Gottschalk be-
came impatient over the delay in Hart
mann's arrival and said to the jailer:
What keeps the old man so long?"
He was informed that the police had
refused to allow Hartmann to see him.
GottSchalk made no comment, but a
faint ire smoldered in his eyes and he
relapsed once more into sullenness.
The police say that no possible good
could come of Hartmann's father being
allowed to talk to Gottschalk and the
county attorney has issued strict orders
that the prisoner be closely watched
Deputies at the Jail do not know what
10 make of Gottschalk. At all times he
Is the same, accepting his food in
! sllence and never speaking unless
| spoken to- Most prisoners after being
alone the greater part of the time
gladly welcome the hour when the at
tenoants appear with food or on their
regular rounds and seize the oppor-
tunity to get in touch with the outside
world. GottschaIk, however, has never
oy word or look shown the slightest
curiosity as TO what is going on out
side. The prisoner is at all times civil
ana VIII always answer when spoken
10. but briefly and to the point, and has
never encouraged his attendants in
! their efforts TO win his confidence.
Yesterday Gottschalk was visited by
both his brother Albert and Stan Dom
nelly, his attorney, and remarked to
both men that he would like to see
Hartmann'S father
i hear the old man is spreading the
report around that / killed joe" the
| prisoner remarked to his brother. land
l would like to see him for few min
I utes"
The prisoner still has the confidence
or his brother despite the finding of
Hartmann's body, and although all
things point to the guilt of GottschaIk
his brother refuses to believe him
guilty.
Il shall stay in the city for some
! time" he said last night, anyway I'M
I'll the grand jury has taken action on
my brothers case"
Since his arrival in the city the
brother OF the prisoner has been care
fully going over the details of the
| crime committed Feb. IS. and is now
| carefully studying the facts surround
ing the discovery of Hartmann's body.
Brother Is Frank
Albert Gottschalk frankly admits
that things look very bad for his broth
er and that the evidence is all against
him. but Is firm in the belief that Ed
ward is innocent. Stan DOnnelly, at
torney for the prisoner, while admit
ting that Gottschalk is in bad posi-
ton. still contends that the prisoner is
innocent
'Gottschalk is not breaking down."
| he said last night He sent for Hart
mann's father because he heard the old
man believed him guilty OF the murder
| of Joseph Hartmann. Gottschalk
wanted to see the elder Hartmann and
/ tell him he did not commit the crime.
That GottSchalk is insane is foolish
ness. No mans mind was ever clearer
| than his and he certainly shall not en-
| ter defense of insanity. 1t would not
be surprising if GOttschalk did break
down considering the position he is in
and 1t would mean nothing If he did.
| Only a man possessed of wonderful
| nerve could keep up bold front while
undergoing an ordeal like the one that
now confronts Gottschalk."
The date of the Hartmann inquest
has been definitely fixed by Coroner
Miller. Wednesday afternoon at 2
| o'clock is the hour set and at that
| time evidence of such a conclusive ma
ture, the police say, will be shown as to
| longer leave the slightest doubt in the
| mind of anyone that Edward Gott-
schaIk killed him.
GottschaIk's Past Life
Inquiry upon the part of the police
has developed some facts concerning
| the life of Gottschalk which were at
first unknown. Persons and police off,
| Gals at Kansas City who were ac-
! quainted with Gottschalk in former
years say that he was twice married.
| but what became of his first wife is
! unknown. Two members OF his family
committed suicide, a brother by shoot
| ing and a sister by drowning. The
| prisoner has a reputation in places
| where he formerly lived as being I'M
usually quick tempered and when
aroused dangerous man.
The funeral of Joseph Hartmann,
whose body was taken from the river
| just opposite Pixies island Friday aft
ernoon, March II. took place yesterday
morning at the family residence at 9
o'clock. The interment was at Calvary
cemetery.
The aged parents of the boy are

| Ever since Joseph Hartmann was sus-
| pected of completely in the murder of
| Schindeldecker both his mother and
| committed the crime he should be pun
ished accordingly. 1t is a curious fact
that the boys parents believed him to
| be in the river long before any investi-

| were not in the least surprised when

County Attorney Confident
County Attorney Kane is confident
