WOMAN BEATEN
BY TEAMSTER
Daniel Harding Nearly
Commits Murder and
Is Caught.
Taken to Redwood City
and Lodged in
Jail.

While Policeman George F. Ewing
and Special Frank Garcia were pa
trolling the county line on the San
Bruno road late Friday night, their
attention was attracted by strange
sounds coming from under the Ter
minal saloon. They made an inves-
tigation and found George Harding,
teamster, choking and beating a
woman, who was lying PROSTATE on
the ground under the saloon. They
pulled Harding out and discovered
that his hands were covered with
blood.
When the woman was dragged out
she was unconscious. Her face and
hair were covered with blood, which
was flowing from a long cut across
her forehead and another across her
upper lip. One of her ears was swol-
len to the size of a mans closed fist.
She was taken to the Potrero Hospi-
tai, where DR.. Wade said he believed
her skull had been fractured Later
she was taken to the City and County
Hospital.
Policeman Ewing searched under
the saloon for some instrument with
which he believed Harding had struck
the woman, but failed to find it.
When questioned Harding said he met
the woman about O'Clock in the
afternoon. She had been drinking
with some men and was under the
influence of liquor He denied know
ing her or striking her with his fists
or an instrument He said he came
from Merced about three weeks ago
and had been living in a tent on
Mariposa street. 1t is the theory of
the police that Harding had attempt
ed to criminally assault the woman,
who resisted and was brutalIy beaten.
The woman recovered consciousness
late yesterday afternoon. She said
her name was Mary Schnorenweg and
that her husband was employed as a
teamster. She could give no account
of the assault.
II had been drinking somewhat
heavily last night at the Six-Mile
House." she said, "and do not re-
member clearly what happened to me.
When I left the place a man followed
and started conversation with me.
have no recollection of anything af-
ter that"
Mrs. Schnorenweg says that on the
day of the earthquake she went to
Berkeley, where she secured employ
ment as a domestic in the family of
George Flint. She returned to the city
week ago and has since then been
staying with her sister at Thirty
ond street and Railroad avenue.
The hospital physicians say that
Mrs. Schnorenweg, although badly in
jured, will recoved.
Yesterday morning Policeman Ew-
ing took Harding to Redwood City.

that charge.
Theodore c. Reichert, a volunteer in
/ the Emergency Hospital service, will
swear to the complaint He was the only
new witness unearthed yesterday and his
testimony is considered important by the
District Attorney. The defendant, son of
one of the city's leading citizens. univer-
sity graduate and clubman, will be vigor-
ousIy prosecuted for the crime. and no
compromise of a manslaughter charge
will be permitted.
On the testimony of Theodore Reichert
the prosecution expects TO establish the
corpus deficit. He did not witness the
shooting, but he says that he examined
the body of the dead man, whom the
young engineer is said to have killed. He
found three bullet holes in the body and
AYERS that from a minute examination
made by him of the corpse he can testify
that the unfortunate Italian was dead
Reichert was informed of the shooting
and proceeded to where the corpse lay.
He ripped the clothes open with a knife,
he says, and saw three gaping wounds
in the body. One hole penetrated the re-
gion of the heart, another pierced the alb
domen directly beneath and the third tore
its way through the right side below the
last rib According to the story of Reich
ert, every shot fired by Denicke took eff
feet.
From the statements made yesterday by
witnesses, il is more than probable that
the wounded man would have died de-
spite medical attention. G. +. Keneally,
State police officer. says that he went
TO the Harbor Hospital on the day of the
shooting In an endeavor to secure the SER
rlor7 nd q
told it would call for the wounded man
if the attendants had time. He does not
know to whom he applied for assistance.
FIRED TO KILL.
Reichert. the new witness. tells of
conversation with the defendant. and on
this the prosecution bases mainly its
charge of murder. He approached
Denicke after the shooting and said, Il
think that you committed cold blooded
murder" DenicKe answered: Il couldn't
help it; had to shoot him; it was my
duty as a soldier"
did you shoot to kill?" queried Reich
ert.
II certainly did," answered Denicke.
Does the Government pay you to MUIR
der?" asked Reichett.
The Government pays me to do my
duty" responded Denicke
Then, why didn't you kill him? Why
don you go back and relieve him of his
suffering now?"
THAT would be murder The Govern
ment pays me for what / did, not to do
murder"
Reichert then examined the body, took
measurements of the corpse and made a
mental survey of the remains He says
that he turned report of the killing in
to a doctor at the Harbor Hospital re-
sembling DIR. q. K. Herzog. No such re-

Chinese students sent to this country by
Tuan Fang, the High Commissioner from
China who recently passed through San
Francisco, en- route to Washington, d. e.,
on an important mission for his empire.
has succumbed to the little god of love,
an American maiden having Joined him
in worship at Cupid's shrine.
Lin Shen Yu has secured the consent or
Miss Dolly Trescott, a charming Berkeley
maiden, to become his bride. The pair
left last night for Ogden, Utah, where the
wedding ceremony is to be performed.
The laws of California do not permit coun-
ty officials to issue licenses authorizing
the marriage of white persons ana those
of the Mongolian race.
The marriage of the distinguished young
Oriental who found his fate in Dolly Tres
colt may or may not be approved by the
high dgnitaries of state in China who
sent Lin Shen Yu to this country to be-
come expert in the language and the ways
of America. Lin Shen III is of that CO.
terie of brilliant Chinese students who
are picked for the diplomatic service In
China, and whose welfare is jealously
guarded by the powers that be in Peking
Lin Shen Yu is "a years old. His Amer
lean bride is 80 Miss Trescott is a grad
uate of the San Francisco high schools.
Her father is mine owner, now in busi-
ness in Los Angeles.
Lin Shen Yu's romance is in part the
outcome of a years association with Miss
Trescott as a pupil in English of the
young woman. She has been coaching
him for a twelvemonth in the intricacies
of the English tongue and its literature.
Both, apparently, have learned in that ex-
ercise something more than what musty
books of grammar have to inculcate.
Their conjugation of verbs has included
an exercise in that famous verb To love. :
and its conjugation has been given living
illustration in their romance.
Lin Shen Yu came to San Francisco
under direction from Tuan Fang and be-
gan his studies in English year ago un-
der the immediate supervision of the Chi
nese Consul in San Francisco During the
last few months he accepted the editor
ship of the Chinese paper in the city. the
Tai Ton Vat Bo. this work as an editor
being incidental to his studies as a young
Chinese diplomat in embryo.
Tuan Fang recently sent an order TO
Lin Shen Yu directing him to give up the
editorship of the Chinese periodical and
to prepare for entrance to Stanford Uni
versity, where the finishing touches
would be given to his education in Eng
lsh The young Chinese had already oe-
come engaged to Miss Trescott, and their
wedding was to take place after Lin Shen
Yu's graduation from Stanford. The
earthquake and fire so interfered with
their work that it was decided u hasten
the tying of the bridal knot. and the trip
to Utah, begun last night. is the result of
that decision Upon their retuYn to

JUSTIFTES THE KILLING.
George T. Cameron, a voluble witness
who is connected with the Associated Oil
Company and who lives at $3.50 Green
street, expressed himself to the effect
that he would have acted as Denicke did
under the trying circumstances. He wit
messed the whole affair of the shooting
and his story does not materially differ
from that told by Andrew Sbarboro.
While he says. that the man who was
shot made no apparent effort to use the
rifle he had taken from the drunken blue
jacket he declares that he believes Den
icke was justified in shooting. He gives
as his reason that any man should be
killed who takes gun away from sol
dier. whether the soldier was intoxicated
and brutal or not
Keneally declares that Denicke was
reckless with his pistol and fired it off
close to the faces of people several times
He says that he warned Deniclse to be
careful or he would shoot some one.
When he heard of the shooting of the
foreigner he commented. We'll. I guess
he is satisfied now; he wanted to kill
somebody"
Several witnesses heard Denicke repent
of his act, He is said to have appeared
nervous and repeated to several by
ISLANDERS. My God, that was the first
man 1 ever shot in my life, but had to
do it. 1t was my duty"
H. l.. Clark, gatekeeper for the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. stated that he
looked for the body at o'clock Satur-
day morning and found it gone. In re-
sponse to his query soldier said I'VE
tied a piece of railroad iron to it and
dropped it overheard. We did the same
with others. We couldn't have them ly-
ing around"
Witnesses stated that the wounded
man died in great agony about p. m.
of the day that he was shot; that little
effort was made to alleviate his suffering
on account of the trying work on hand
at the time.
Late yesterday afternoon the police
were told by Samuel Baxter, an engineer
on the Belt Railroad, that he saw several
soldiers compel four Cinnamon to throw
the body of the dead foreigner overheard
on the morning of April 21 from Lom-
bard-street pier. The police are now
searching for the corpse.
The witnesses examined yesterday were
questioned by District Attorney Langdon
and Assistant Louis Ward.

The witness further states that he saw

wounded man and that they said that
he was a Frenchman. One witness, Au-

revenue cutter Golden Gate, made the
statement that he heard the dying man
cry out. Santa Maria Santa Maria"
Reichert says that there were people
present after the shooting who knew the
deceased. but the police have been unable
to locate them. Until some one is found
