Since that day when he walked
out of the garage at Georgia and
Pennsylvania streets, no record can
be found of Slower. unless Schroe-
der took him for that fatal ride the
night of May 30, 1880.
Schroeder, from the state prison
at Michigan City, today maintained
the same stole silence that marked
him throughout his arrest, wait for
trial. and finally the jury judgment
that he should spend two to twenty
one years in prison.
Warden Walter H. Daily, in an
swer to request of The Times,
questioned the prisoner today.
Brought from his cell, Schroeder
told DAILY that "the name doesn't
mean a thing to me-
I'm not guilty of the crime they
sent me here for, anyway DAILY

Schroeder still maintains his poker

Schroeder never named his VIC

claimed he knew nothing of his
identity. He asserted he had picked
