Criminal Action Brought.

| Before Mrs. Schmid's return she was
indicted for the larceny of the $4,000
which she was ordered to pay by the
court, and on her return was arrested
on the charge. Bail was furnished
and the criminal case is still pending,
though it is supposed that the indict-
ments will be nolle pressed by States
Attorney J. K. Scott now that the set
Element is made. Mr.. Scott is away
| from the city, and what action he will
take is not known.
Judge Gest committed Mrs. Schmid
for contempt June II, and on the ap-
plication of her attorneys entered an
order June &c allowing her to be taken
TO st. Anthony's hospital, where she
has been confined since that time. A
writ of habeas corpus July IA failed to
secure her release from custody.
This month an application was made
to Governor Deneen for a requisition
for Mrs. Otto on a charge of perjury.
and July 10 the governor refused to
issue the writ. on the recommendation
of Attorney General w. II. Stead. The
reasons given included the fact that
the grand jury here refused to indict
Mrs. Otto on this charge, but did inGict
Mrs. Schmid.

DECREE is OBEYED
Mrs. L aura Schmid Makes Settle

From Custody.
END FOUR YEARS LITIGATION
Complies with Order of Circuit Court
Entered a year ago-StipuIation
Acknowledges $4,000.

| Just a year after the decree of the
circuit court was entered, Mrs Laura
Schmid yesterday afternoon made a
settlement of the case against her by
her mother, Mrs. Ann Catherine Otto,
! in which judgment was entered for
! 200. Mrs. Schmid was released
from custody late yesterday afternoon,
and the stipulation filed in the circuit
clerks office for the settlement for
$4,000. While the papers filed show
that the entire amount of the judgment
was paid, 1t is understood that the set
Element was made for $500, Mrs.
Schmid paying the court costs in the
case. 1t was for failure to show why
she had not complied with the decree
that Judge w. H. GeSt committed Mrs
Schmid to Jail for contempt June IL
She has been in custody since that
time.
Case is Noted One.
The litigation which was practically
ended yesterday afternoon has been
pending in various forms for nearly
four years in the courts of Scott and
Rock Island counties, and there are
still pending an appeal in the Illinois
appellate court and criminal cases
against Mrs. Schmid for larceny, in
the circuit court here. The proceed
ings in the case have been varied and
the contest between the mother and
the daughter has become one of the
most noted in the city.
The action of Mrs. Otto against Mrs
Laura Schmid and her husband, Au-
gust Schmid was preceded by a suit |
in a justice court in Milan against the |
mother, and two petitions in the Rock |
Island county court for an inquiry as
to Mrs. Otto's sanity. During this
time Mrs. Otto turned over to Mr.. and |
Mrs. Schmid a large sum in money and
negotiable papers. After the settle
ment of the justice court suit and the
dismissal of the insanity proceedings,
Mrs. Otto brought an attachment in
Davenport on money in that city, and
a partial settlement was made.
Brings suit i'm Chancery.
Then Mrs. Otto commenced a suit
in chancery in the Rock Island circuit
court asking that the entire transac-
ton be set aside, and judgment for
SIS, 900 be entered against Mr.. and
Mrs. Scbmid The hearing was begun
before Master in Chancery Entriken.
and concluded by Master in Chancery
Kelly, who found for Mrs. Otto against
Mr. and Mrs. Schmid. The circuit court
sustained the masters findings as to
Mrs. Schmid, but not as to her hus-
band. and a decree was entered July
20. 1905 Mrs. Schmid then left the
