Invitations are out for a dinner party next Monday. As the Secretary of War is “more given to walking than riding to and from the department he finds his new home at just a comfortable distance. In this regard he is like his associate, Secretary Tracy, who crosses and recrosses McPherson Square several times a day. Three cabinet homes being on K street and within a square ofeach other make Wednesday calling an easy matter. Mra. Elkins bas furnisied her home here with the things from her New York house. in which the family has spent but little of the year lately since the erection of their palatial home at Elkins, W. Va. She has five children, the eldest son’ only being away at school and three other boys anda buby daughter. ‘The Secretary's eldest daughter, Mrs. Alexander C. Oliphant of Trenton, has always spent muck of her time with her parents at Elkins’ and is ex- veted here to visit them before the gay season Is over. “The Secretary's Washington home, as is well known, was she former residence of ex- Senator Palmer, and is one of the best built houses in this eity. Every luxury possible in a house of its size was introduced. ‘The woodwork and wall decoration have been greatly admired. The. dining room, finished in fine woods, is one of the most elegaut in town. In connec- tion with it are china closets and a pantry as large aimost as the dining room, the ar- rangement of which is almost perfect. The kitchens are on the top tloor so as to do away with all odors from the cooking and to give the cook, us Mr. Palmer used to say in his humorous way, a chance to see what was going on in the streets. The house has an elevator in the front ball, which was a great comfort to rs. When Mr. Palmer gave gentle- men dinners he used to have it filled with singers who would fill the house with the melody of all the plantation music or any other old-fashioned ballads.as they kept riding up and down on the elevator. In fact, the house is one so blessed with happy memories that everybody is glad to know that it is again the scone of an attractive home life, such as always surrounds the Secretary and his charming wife. Senator and Mre. Washburn gave a dinner party on Saturday evening, when their guests were Secretary and Mra. Blaine, Sonator and Mrs. Hale, Representative and Mrs. Hitt, Chief Justice Fuller, Senator Allison, Miss Dodge and Miss Washburn. Mrs. William Smith, wife of Gen.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY. 1. 1892. HOWARD SCHNEIDER. A WEST END TRAGEDY Howard Schneider Commits a Fearful Crime on Sunday Night. HEKILLS HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW And Probably Fatally Wounds His Young Wife—An Unhappy Marriage and Its Sad Results—Two Pistols and the Part They Played—What the Police and Others Say. Last evening a few there was a most sensational shooting near Du- pont Circle, as a result of which a young man lies dead and his sister ix lying very close to death. A happy home is desolate and a family circle is broken and g stricken, and all this was caused by the rash and heartless act of a man who, it is claimed, had received nothing but kind treatment and consideration from the family he has bereaved. The man who did the shooting was Howard J. Schneider, a young electrician of this city, and the unfortunate victims of the affray were his young wife and brother-in-law, Frank Hamlink. A SENSATIONAL AND SHOCKING AFFAIR. The tragedy was a most sensational and shocking affair. To all appearances it was as causeless as it was horrible, Schneider had re- cently separated from bis wife and the only reason that has as yet been ascribed was his desire for revenge upon her relatives for the injuries that he may have thought he had re- ceived. The shooting took place immediately in front of the Hamlink residence, 1733Q street, one of the long row of houses recently com- pleted by the architect, Mr. T. F. Schneider, a brother of the murderer. In the evening Frank Hamlink, accompanied by his sisters, Mrs. Schneider and Miss Jennie Hamlink, left their home to attend the services at the new Episcopal church near Dupont Circle. They found the church closed and were returning from a drug store, where they had stopped for a few moments to have a pre- scription filled. ‘They were almost immediately in front of their own home on Q street, a1 were walking along quietly conversing when a man, who proved to be young Schneider. eame toward them from the opposite side of the street. As he drow near he said that he was anxious to speak to his wife and Miss Hamlink walked ahead a few steps, leaving the three standing in a group. PISTOL SHOTS IN RAPID SUCCESSION. In an instant the report of a pistol shot, and then another and another, was heard upon the still night air and Miss Hamlink, startled and frightened, turned and saw her brother fall face downward to the ground. She ran to him and kneeling over spoke to him, butreceived no re- sponse. It would seem as though Mrs. Schnei- der did not realize at first that she was wounded, but ina moment she throw up her arms with the cry that she had been shot, too. utes after 8 o'clock THE HOME OF THE HAMLINKS. The noise of the pistol shots ringing out clear and sharp at that time of night and in that quiet and aristocratic neighborhood drew to- gether a’considerable crowd and the victims of the double tragedy were tenderly cared for. Mrs. Schneider was able to walk and she was assisted into the Hamlink residence and then taken upstairs and placed upon abed, ‘The body of the wounded mar was lifted up and carried in and placed in the front room on the ain floor. He was beyond the necd of phy- icians’ care, for life was extinct within a very few minutes aiter he was shot. MRS. SCHNEIDER'S WOUNDS. When the physicians, who were hastily sum- moned, arrived at the house they turned all their attention to caring for the injured woman. At first it was thought that she was not se- riously wounded, but a close examination di covered the fact that she had received three wounds, all in the abdomen. One bullet en- tered just below the second pierced the right side and a third on the left, all three passing through the intestines. Dr. J. Ford Thompson, assisted py Drs. Kerr, Sowers, Anderson, Foster and McArdle, ex- tracted the bullets. An operation was per- formed by Dr. J. Ford Thompson, and the lacerated intestines were stitched and dressed. ‘The wounds were of sucha character that but slight hope was entertained of her recovery. THE YOUNG MAN KILLED. Frank Hamlink, the young man who was killed, was about twenty-one years of age, and was a surveyor in the engineer's office of the District Commissioners. He had many friends and was a companionable feliow, and was stu- diously inclined, generally spending his even- Ee at home. x. Patierson, the District coroner, viewed the body last evening and after consultation with Mr. Hamlink decided to hold an autopsy at noon today, SCHNEIDER DELIVERS HIMSELF UP. Immediately after firing the fatal shots Schneider turned and ran away into the dark- ness. He wentat once to the third precinct station on K ‘street between 20th and 2ist streets. Ashe walked into the station house he remarked calmly: “Eve just shot my brother-in-law in self- defense. je was asked to’ explain, but only repeated his first statement, adding’ that ihe shooting had occurred on Q street. He gave his namo said he was an this city. He used tobe the secretary to the old board of police commissioners, but of re- cent years he has been the agent for several foreign insurance companies and has bad au office on G street. The marriage between his daughter and Schneider was a secret one, and it was not untila number of months after it took place that anything was known of it by the members of either family. The marriage took pisce early last June and according to the statement of the members of | the Hamlink family Miss Hamlink was forced into the marriage against her will. A fow days before the marriage Schneidor bad been ar- rested for shooting a colored man and is still under indictment for the crime, and it that fearing conviction he determined to marry Mass Hamlink before his trial took place. He had been released from custody on bonds fur nished by Col. Hamlink. THREATENED TO RULE WER. It was on last Decoration day that the shoot- ing took place andacouple of days iater Schnei- der, who had been on terms of intimacy with the family and, it is said, was engaged to Miss Hamlink, went to Baltimore and secured a marriage license for himself and Amie Ham- link. ‘The next day he asked the young lady to take-a drive with him, and they started toward Hyattsville. On the way Schneiler told the girl that be wanted her to then and there. He after the trial she might change her mind. ‘The girl objected to such speedy action and in- sisted upon his waiting until they conid be properly married. It is said that Schneider threatened to kill both himself and her if she remained obdurate. Finally, after he bad ter- rified her into beheving that he would carry out his threats, she consented to his proposi- tion. ‘They entered a clergyman’s house in the neighborhood and were married. SAID RE WOULD KILL MR. HAMLINK AND MIS SON. After their return to the city they said | nothing to any one about their marriage for five months, when Mr. Schneider's younger sister found it out and informed Mrs. Hamlink. The father was indignant and on his first meet- ing with hisson-in-lawastormy scene ensued, at which Fravk Hamlink was present and ex- pressed his opinionsregarding Schneider's con- duct. The latter became abusive and threat ened to kill Mr. Hamlink and his son. THE SCENE OF TRE SHOOTIN Finally an arrangement was made by which the young people were to live together and were to reside in Mr. Hamlink’s house. This agreement was carried out until a week ago last Tuesday. During that time Schneider had given way to dissolute habits. He had come home under the influence of liquor, ha-l fre- quently cursed his wie and had finally threat- ened to kill her, displaying as he did so a re- volver. On numerous occasions, it is said, he had made threats to his wife aud members of her family, and succeeded in this way in making her life miscrable beyond descripti TURNED FROM THE HAMLINK HOUSE. A couple of weeks ago Schneider stayed away rom home until after midnight, and on his return was refused admittance. He was forced to absent himself for the remainder of the night, and on the following day his wife in- formed him that she would live with him no longer. In this desermination she was encour- aged by her father and brother. From then until the shooting last evening the two had not mot. SENT A NOTE TO HIS WIFF. Last evening a little before 8 o'clock a note was received at the Hamlink residence Howard Schneider addressed to his wife. Init he asked how much his board bill was, saying that he wanted to pay it, as he was going te leave the city this morning. He asked his wife to gowith him. Mrs Schneider answered the note, telling her husband he owed nothing to her father for his board, and adding that she did not intend to go with him, and telling him that he must cease writing to her. A few minutes later young Hamlink and his two sisters left for chtirch and it was on their | way home that the shooting occurred. What were the immediate events that led up to the shooting is a matter that is almost impossible | to determine. Hamlink is dead. Mrs. Schnei- der has been inno condition to speak of the affair. Miss Hamiink saw very little of it and | dia not hear the conversation that took place, while Schneider has refused to speak for pub- lication at all. Howard Schneider and his brothers, T. F. Schneider and W. E. Schneider, are sons of Gottleib Schneider of this city. , RESULT OF AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE. According to the story told by members of young Schneider's family the whole trouble grew out of an unhappy marriage, They say that the Hamlinks were perfectly satisfied with the | match at first, for they were under the imp sion that Schneider was a man of considerab! means. When they found that he had nothing beyond his salary they began a course of «ys- tematic saubbing, and his wife refused to leave her home unless he would go to a stylish apart- ment house and live in an extravagant man- ner. This he was unable todo. It is further stated that on their trip to Hyattsvillelast June, | when he proposed an immeiliate marriage, he threatened to shoot himself if she did not ac- quiesee, but that he did not threaten to shoot er. Mr. T. F. Schneider and Mr. W. F. Schneider both ask that the public should suspend its judgment in the case until all the circum- stances connected with it are brought out in the trial. It will then be shown, they say, that their brother acted in self-defense. CLAIMS OF SELF-DEFENSE. Last night Mr. T. F. Schneider called upon his brother at the station house and had a long conversation with him. Howard insisted that the shooting was done in self-defense. He had intended to leave for Chicago this morning and he said that he went over to see if he owed Mr. Hamlink nny money and to ask his wife for the last time to go with him. ‘saw them across the street,” he satd, ‘and I went over to speak to them. ‘I touched my wife on the shoulter and said, ‘Amy, I waut to speak to you.” Frank turned quickly'and said, ‘You ——“— _ —, did not want to say anything that might here- after be used against him, “I have nothing to say,” he replicd, when Tre Stan reporter asked him for some informa- tion. ‘Then the reporter suggested that two pistols figured in the case aad asked whetber he cared to expinin that matter or even tell whether his brother-in-law had a pistol. He hesitated a moment and then repeated, “I have nothing to say about the matter.” Just then the prisoner's two brothers ap- peared at the station with Mr. Andrew A. Lips- comb. who had an interview with the prisoner. He will probabil; Appear as counsel in the case And will be present at the inquest tomorrow. ROW MANY PISTOLS AND HOW MANY SHOTS. The question of how many pistols played part in the affair is the all-important one with the Police today, and Sergeant Myers, who is acting lieutenant of the third police precinct, with the weapous to the District attor: office and explained what he knew of the affair ‘Two weapons will play their parts in ir, and it may be that the judicial invei gation wil! not even solve the problem as to the Ownership of them. A careful investigation by the police elicited the information that five shots were fired aud that number of shots Lave beex accounted for— | three in tae body of Mrs. Schveider, one in the body of her brother and the one that p through the front window. Several nel who heard tho shots tired declare that there were only five, while the pistols in possession of the police would make it appoar that there were eleven. When the prisoner appeared at the pclire station and set up a pleaot scif-defense for wi at he had done he had no idea roth in-law was dead, nor was Le info: of thie | fact until this morning. When put in a cell behind the upright iro no one except his brother be permitt him, and he was particulorly anxious that no reporters should annoy him.

It contained five chambers aud there was an empty shell in each chamber. The other pistol, also a thirty-eight caliber Smith & Wesson, was of an older pattern and was picked upinan alley between Mth and 17th nd north of Madison streets. This weapon contained six chambers,which were in the same condition as those in the other pistol. FINDING A PISTOL. Concerning the finding of this weapon Ser- geant Myers said that two hours after the tragedy the prisoner's brother, Mr. Frank T. Schneider, met Policeman McAndrews and got the iatter to go with him. He led the officer ‘one was found on the occurred and ti into the alley mentioned, and there in the far end of the alley the weapon was found against « telegraph _ pole. The weapon rested agamst the telegraph pole with the barrel pointing upward and there was nothing about it to show or in- dicate it had been thrown to the pavement. ‘The officer thought that it had been carefully put there by some one and Sergeant Ayers said he did not believe that a man es- caping from such a tragedy would stop to place the weapon in such position. He thought it impossible to have been thrown by a person and to have rested in the position in which it was found. This pistol was claimed by Mr. Frank T. Schneider as being his brother's property, but the prisoner refused to identify either weapon as belonging to him. When Schneider entered the statian he says he had his overcoat on his arm and that, it will be claimed, was why the builets passed through his sack coat insteai of the overcoat. WHAT COL. HAMLINE SAYS. Early this morning a Srax reporter called at Col. Hailink’s house and had a short conversa- tion with the bereaved father. He had not | rested at all during the night and he was nervous and showed other signs of the terrible ordeei through which he had passed. He re- ferred to Schneider as being one of the worst scoundrels he bad ever seen. “He made my daughter marry him st the point of a pistol,” he said, “‘and then kept the marriage a secret for five months. When I levrned of .it of course there was a storm, but soon atterward our families talked the matter over and he was permitied to live at the house with us. He soon began to come in at all hours of the night, sometimes drunk and occasionally sober. OH language was so bad that complaint had to,be made, and about five or six wecks | on him. ‘THen his 8 repeated. He had ago the door was locke threatening language | before leaving or being forced to leave the house made threats toward almost every mem- ber of the family, and on one occasion he threatened to cut his wife's throat, and we | have a witness who beard that threat. ‘Schneider,” continued the grief-stricken | man; “was in the habit of going armed, ard he frequentiy carried two loaded pistols at the same time. Last evening when the first note came to the house my daughter answered it and we thought that was the end of it, at least for last night, but the colored messenger re- turned after Mrs. Schneider had gone to church with her brother and sister, and it was but a short while after that that the shots were fired.” Br. Hamlink said he did not know whether his son had a pistol or not, but he thought not, ashe had never been in’ the habit of going armed. He thought that Frauk knew of the note being sent, but noue of them anticipated any such trouble. EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY. Atthe Hamlink residenco today there was a steady procession of callers to express their sympathy with the bereaved family. They have many friends in the city and the tragedy seems to have made a deep impression upon the community gen- erally. Passers-by stopped to see the xpot where the shooting occurred und to comment you shan’t speak to her,’ and then he began to fire at me with his revolver. “I had taken a revolver with me in case there might be any trouble and I returned the shots. Iswear I did not shoot at my wife. She came in line between us, and it is just as likely that she was shot by Hamlink. WHAT THE SCHNEIDER BROTHERS BAY. Mr. T. Frank Scneider was in his house at the corner of I8th and Q streets, and Mr. W. E. Schneider, the other brother, was at 1739 when the shooting occurred. They both heard the shots. ‘They declare that there were as many as eight or ten, and that they came in such rapid succession that they could not pos- sibly have come from one weapon. It sounded as if a gatling gun were being fred. After the shooting Mr. J. F. Manning picked up an empty revolver by the side of the dying mar. ‘The shooting occurred on the sidewalk on the north side of the street, while the body was picked up in the middie of the street, ani Schneider's friends claim that this is proof that young Hamlink was _pursi the fleeing Schneider when the fatal shot struck him. Mr. 'T. F. Schneider stated toa Stan reporter to- day that his brother has on the front of his overcoat a number of r marks and a bul- by her sister, who was unin- ‘THE PRISONER IN HIS CELL.
