PLEADS IN VAIN
FOR HIS LIFE
Brutal Murder Takes Place on
Highway.
PEDDLER IS UNFORTUNATE
Nathan Schiessinger's Remains
Discovered About Three Miles
From Grapevine With Holes IN
the Back

Don't shoot mel Please don't
shoot me-"
These words, heard by man by the
name OF Lee Knight as he walked 90
a lonely road near Grapevine, Tar
rant cou4ty, Tex, are believed to
have preceded the brutal killing OF a
peddler, Nathan Schlessinger, whose
body was found next morning about
three miles from Grapevine, In the
back three bulletholes we're found and
the imprint OF brass knucks was stsi'
ible on the forehead
Following long trail with blood
hounds Luck Nick inney and John HJ.
der, eighteen years of age, we're ar
rested at Lewisville, Denton county,
and taken to Fort Worth Charles OF
murder we're preferred against both OF
them
Knight says after he heard the plea
a demand for money followed After
cession, and a few seconds later two
forms were seen to scurry through the
darkness and dart down the road He
recognized them, he said, as one OF
them, revolver in hand nearly fell
over him as he crouched low in order
to avoid being seen and escape the
fate OF the unfortunate man whose ap-
peals for life had been denied.
As soon as the men we're out OF
sight Knight, who resides at Lewis
vile, ran to Grapevine and notified
the citizens of the murder. Armed
men set out for the scene in rigs and
on horseback. About two and half
miles out on the road they found tine
driverless horse attached to a wagon
that had belonged to Schlessinger
The horse had evidently moved some
distance from the spot where the man
was killed
Schlessinger was twenty. six years
of age, a resident of F'ert Worth ana
leaves a widow and couple OF little
children.
