HARTFORD Conn, May 29.-in the
opinion of Dr. j. T. Mitchell. Of Mid
dietown, the bones, found in the ashes
remaining after huge bonfire in the
back lots of Emil Schutte's home at
Shailerville, belonged to human being
and by no possible stretch of imagina-
ton or medical science could they be
classified as the bones of dog.
Schultz, who is in the Haddam
County jail for shooting at his wife
the preliminary hearing being post
poned until June 16 when he will be
charged with one and perhaps four
murders, says he killed his dog and
burned it on the Hill where the police
believe they found the charred re-
mains of the accused's aged farmland.
Dennis Laduc. Captain Robert T. Hur-
ley; of the state police, has kept away
From Schuttde during his ten days
investigation, having talked with him
but once, though he plans to see him

Sons Against Father
At this first conversation Schultz.
VINO then thought he was in jail be-
cause his wife and eight sons could
rot raise the seemingly high bail of
$4,000 named for attempting to shoot
has wife, told Captain Hurley that any
bones found must be those of dog
ne had killed and carted I'D to A higE
hill west of his store to be burned
Mrs. Schultz, who has been in state
OF collapse the last week because of
the reaction after years of turbulent
and domineering domestic life with
Schutte, IS likely to be found lined up
against her husband, and it is certain
that all the eight sons are determined
to see through what they have started
Two of them have signed statements
which Captain Hurley has transmitted
to MlddleseX County States Attorney
Ernest +. lngls, one statement by the
son julius telling of his forced partici-
patton in the Ball tragedy and how he
was compelled to accompany his father
the night of December II, 1916, when.
50 the affidavit reads, Schultz armed
himself and after firing the cottage
Of Joseph Ball, shot Ball, his wife and
eighteen -year-old son as they rushed
from the burning house
Reads Life of Grant
The Youngest son, Augustine. twelve
years old, has told the detectives Of
what he discovered five weeks ago this
afternoon, when he suspected that
something unusual had happened at
the small building south of the Schultz
store, and, standing on tiptoe. so as
10 peer into the solitary window to
Laduc's sleeping quarters, saw the
body of the farmland on the bed, the
head resting on bloody pillow. When
be looked the next day the body was
gone, and 1T was that Sunday night
that Schultz hitched up q wagon and
altar stopping at the building where
Laduc lived, drove up into the West
Mountain.
Schultz after endeavoring to obtain
as counsel 3 Hartford lawyer and a
Iylerville judge has now retained
Gustav f. Carlson, of Middletown, who
has associated with him Attorney Carl
F. Anderson. Both of them have
warned Schultz not to talk to anybody,
and so to-day the prisoner passed his
time looking over the life Of General
Grant, which was his selection from
the little Jail library, consisting of
Alger and Henty novels, Longfellow's
poems and Dickens's "a Tale of Two
Cities"
