READING MURDERER
GOES To DEATH ON
GALLOWS SMILING
what Do ! Care About Death, ~
He Means, "But-But My
Children
SHOT HIS WIFE YEAR AGO
Application For New Trial Was
Made Against His Protest
and Refused
'HOT HIS WIFE YEAR AGO

Reading, Pa, July 9.-Frank F,
Schnabel was hanged here at 1906
a. m. to-day for wife murder. He
was pronounced dead at 1915 by
strangulation. He went to the gal
lows smiling.
The crime for which Schnabel was
hanged was the brutal murder of his
wife a year ago. The couple, a middle
aged pair. had been separated for
some weeks. Schnabel's crime was
carefully planned. He bought a re-
volver, filled himself with liquor, laid
in wait for his wife in the streets and
shot her without warning. He tried
to end his own life, but failed. He
showed no particular interest in his
case at his trial and was quickly con-
victed. A new trial was applied for
against his protest. This was refused
by the court. Two weeks ago Schnabel
called in spiritual adviser and made
preparations for his funeral.
Only last night, his last on earth,
he said:
Let the hereafter take care of it
self I am not worried"
Continuing, he said. What do I care
about death, but-but. my children" ."
1t has right along been apparent
that the time for his execution was of
little concern to Selma bel. He was a
carpenter by trade and a first class
mechanic.

with Attorney General Bell for months
to prevent Highway Commissioner
Bigelow from getting hold of the
money which the mandate of the Leg

maintenance of the highways of the

two officials would sacrifice everything
that runs over a State highway in or

Safety Paramount
Judge McCarrell's opinion points out
that safety of the public is para

fiscal officers who are so greatly con-
