NEW YORK, March lit is
not known whether Schneider con-
fided his plan of clipping with his
wife to his mistress. Or whether
she got wind Of , from somebody
else. But on, Sunday, the day
before he met his death, there
was q violent quarrel between
them.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon
Schneider and Mrs. Buzzi we're
driving in his car near his con-
tracing office in the Bronx. The
chauffeur, q man whom Schneider
occasionally employed in that
capacity, was attracted by angry
words between them.
She Grew Furious.
Either Schneider had broken the
news to her that he intended 10 re-
turn to his wife, or she had some
other source OF knowing that he In
tended to leave her. Mrs. Buzzi was
furious and accused him Of being
too stingy to continue maintaining
two Establishments Whatever else
he was, Schneider was not stingy.
He told his increasingly irate mis-.
tress that IL was not the cost or
the two homes which troubled him.
but that the continual wrangling in
her home made it impossible Tor
him to continue the present ar
rAngements. And that he would
make generous provision for her
support IL she would agree to his
return to his wife.
Mrs. BnzH did not take this
calmly. Schneider tried in every
way to pacify her. At one time
the chauffeur heard him say: Its
d nice day. Let's not fight" But
Mrs. Buzzi was not to be 30 easily
pacified and the storm grew as
they neared his office. They were
quarreling so heatedly as they left
the car that the chauffeur yielded
to his curiosity and peeped through
the window of the office to see
what was going on.
He saw Mrs. Buzzi seize small
red memorandum book in which
Schneider kept addresses and tele-
phone numbers and tear several
pages out OF It. Schneider rescued
his book and Mrs. Buzz ran out OF
the office and jumped into the car.
Schneider followed her and ordered
the chauffeur to drive them home.
When they reached home Mrs.
BuZzi stepped out Of the car and
Schneider ordered the chauffeur to
drive on. Whereupon Mrs. Buzzi
Jumped onto the running board,
and Schneider, to save a scene,
opened the door and let her inside
again. A short distance farther on
he abruptly ordered the chauffeur
to stop. When the man had done
90, Schneider stepped to the street,
leaving the car to Mrs. Buzzi, ana
walked rapidly away.
Tried to Tear Book.
She sat there in the car, staring
after him.
The next morning Schneider ap.
preached his secretary, Dorothea
Helm, about whom there had been
frequent Quarrels between him and
his mistress, and showed her the
memorandum book, from which the
pages had been torn.
please patch these together and
paste them in my book" he re-
quested. And added: Mrs. Buzzi
snatched 1t from me yesterday and
tried to tear 1t to pieces"
Miss Helm repaired the book.
On Monday morning, Ralph Mil.
Ter, mechanical foreman at Schnei-
der's office, drove his employer
car to the door Of the flat at 1853
Grand Concourse, where he had
been living with Mrs. Buzzi as Mr.
and Mrs. Schneider. Miller did this
every morning. He took in the
bread, the milk and copy of The
Times. Then he took the two Chow
dogs Hull and Zulu out for an air
ing. When he returned, he opened
the tonneau door and the dogs
