TAG- GART AND WILSON—WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROVE AXD THE LINE TOE DEFENSE WILL CamRy ovr. ‘The announcement in yesterday's Stan thatn jury had been secured in the case of Howard J. Schneider, charged with the killing of his wife, had the effect of crowding the Criminal Court this morning with by far the largest throng yet assembled to hear the case. The marshal's deputies were instructed to admit noue but members of the bar and those di- rectly connected with the case. Nevertheless, very many of the general public secured ad- mission. Among those who early secured good positions to see and hear were two ladies. The prisoner arrived early and was soon followed by the jury. As stated in yesterday's Stam, the jury was not secured until after fifty-niae of thoseventy-~ five extra talesmer summoned had been ex- amined, and not until the usual hour of ad- journment—3:30—hud been reached. TRE LAST CHALLENGE. A few moments before the jury was accepted Jadge Wilson, with one peremptory challenge remaining to the defense, stated to the court that he would now turn the jury as it stood over to the government. District Attorney Cole—Are you satisfied with the jury’ Judge Wilson—For the present, you. Jucige Bradley—Then, judge, if the govern- ment should declare itself satisfied with the jury, if it should decline to exercise its remain- ing ‘challenge, I would direct the jury to be sworn. Judge Wilson—Do I understand the court to *° Fadee Bradley—Yee, sir. Judge Wilson—Then we desire to note an exception to your honor’s ruling. Under the ruling the defense thereupon ex- ercised its remaining challenge and ex- which objection is made will necessarily go over for ® day. It is purposed to secure speedy action upon these nominations in order that there tay be no further delay in the matter. TO LEGALIZE THE WORLD'S FAIB APPROPRIATION ‘The Senate committee on territories today ordered a favorable report on the bill which has passed the House ratifying the act of the Seineme unhtiog obectendion in aaerain “pro; the District, and power is hereby given te these courts Re commit ah eee deep when not over sixteen years of age to said ‘Muss Lorra, the actress, was among those ceived by the President today. E cused Thos. W. Kay, colored. Wm. F. Bury, the next talesman examined, was declared competent, and after afew minutes spent in consultation the government's counsel declared themself satisfied with the jury and it was sworn, and the court adjourned until this morning. ‘mR JURY SELECTED. ‘The jury is composed of the following: Jas. W. Cooper, colored, of 310 3d street southwest, & produce dealer: Herman Kablert, 411 11th street southeast, fresco painter; Robt. H. Gray, colored, 930 3d street northwest, barber; Thoa H.

Johuson, colored, 214 17thstreet borer; Wm. F. Bury, 1101 Pennsyl- southeast, TRE WITNESSES EXCLUDED. The court was promptly opened at 10 o'clock, but it was several minutes before the proceed- ings were begun. After # long consultation. with his client Judge Wilson arose and asked that all witnesses for the government be ex- cluded from the court room, and he of course realized that such a ruling should also exclude the witnesses for the defense’ The court stated that as the proceedings would undoubtedly be published in full by the newspapers he did not see that much would be accomplished by the ruling, but he, neverthe- less, would make the ruling, and therefore directed that all witnesses, both for the government and the defense, retire, which they did, to their manifest disappointment. THE GOVERNMENT'S OPZNING ARGUMENT. ‘The case was then formally opened by Mr. Hugh T. Taggart, one of the district attorney's assistants. Mr. Taggart began by stating to the jury that the grand jury of the District had formaliy indicted for the gravest crime known to the law, that of murder. While the convic- tion of he who kills might not be a reparation, while it might not bring back from the grave the murdered person, it did protect #o- SOME OF THE JURY. ciety, and for that reason the law prescribed a naity. With what that penalty was the jury nothing todo. They were to pass merely on the evidence submitted. Mr. Tag: gart then explained to the j term homicide and defined the grades of the crime. After explaining What the indictment charged Mr. ‘Taggart stated what the goverument intended to prove. but at the outset Judge Wilson asked that he be allowed to <a to anything in Mr, Taggart’s opening which in the opinion of the defense was not warranted by the evidence. Such a right being granted by the cuurt, Mr. Taggart continued. ‘WHAT WOULD BE SHOWS. It would be shown by the government, said Mr. Taggart, that the defendant secretly and at @ pistol’s point compelled the girl he had killed to marry him; that when this was learned by his wife's father und that gentleman asked the defendant by what right he did such a thing the reply was in effect that it was his (the prisoner's) own affacr and that of no one else; that, as in most such cases, the son-in-law was taken to bis father-in- house; that there he resided until his actions became such that he was ordered from the house: that at the very time he wrote to his wife, a few days before the shooting, addressing hie wife ‘his darling wife,” and signing himself as “your loving husband,” he was engaged in paying attention to a young lady from Virginia which no married man could honorably pay to a lady, attentions which meant nothing but th: d honor of the young lady; that the prisoner vis- ited Culpeper, Va.. the home of the young lady. registered at the hotel there under an assumed name, and on the day preceding the shooting took dinner at the hotel with the young lady; that on the morn- ing of the shooting the prisoner called t his father-in-law’s houre. asked hiv brother- w to accompany him, to his (the prison- brother's house, that pence might be made between him and his brother; that upon his brother-in-law’s refasal to accompany him the prisoner left with the declaration that be would get even with him, that he would PUT A BULLET IN HIM; that later in the day the prisoner's wife re- ceived a note from him stating that he was about to leave the city, and asking if she would accompany him; that the prisoner's wife replied in sn handly written not r wishing him well, but declining to go with him;that the pris- oner addressed another note to her, asking for an interview, and received in reply another Kindly written note declining to sce him. Mr then briefly detaled the circum s Of the shooting, not materi ally aitter with the facts published at the time in Tar Stan. Mr. rt spoke for about half an boar. and was listened to with the deepest interest, the prisoner hearing #4 tails of is alleged crime without the slightest emotion. JUDGE WILSON FOR THE DEFENSE. Judge Wilson in opening the csse for the de- fense said that all Bis client desired at the hands of the jury was # careful, pationt hear- ing of the ease. The jury hed been most care- fally selected, and the defense had the utmost faith in their impartiality. Judge Wilson then ing upon the jury that while the indictment not manslaughter, ; the could, ander law in Prcos tn tale Dees, bring in a verdict of manslaughter. Judge Wilson farther stated tho difference between marder and manslaughter, dwelling upon the fact that not even all killing was un- lawful. ' ‘THE THEORY OF HAMLINK’s PraToL. Mr. Taggart's remarks, said Judge Wilson, had been conspicuous for the absence of many ‘material facts, among others that Ham- link had a pistol, and the farther very material fact that Frank Hamlink fired five shots from that pistol. It was not true, as claimed by Mr. ‘Taggart, that the defendant caught his wife by the wrist in such a way as to in- jure her. Instead the defendant merely said: “Amy, I with to speak “to you.” Her brother replied in an insulting manner that she should not. The defendant replied: “She is my wife, and I have the right to speak to her.” A pistol shot from Frank Hamlink was the reply, the ball passing through the defendant's coat: that young Hamlink continued to fire, following the defendant for over forty feet until he fell dead, with the pistol bot from the discharge from all five chambers; that when young Hamlink's body was reached by the first person of the many attracted by the firing » the istol was found in the dead man’s and. The first shot, claimed ' Judge Wilson, was an isolated one, followed first by a moment's silence and then by » regular fusi- lade of shots, the last shot being fired by young Hamlink as Schneider was running from him. There were other facts, said Judge Wal- son, which he would not now relate, but he believed that when all the facts had been heard that the jury would see that, as the defense claimed, Howard J. Schneide the defendant, had been more sinned again than sinning. The defense would show that the balls which entered Mra. Schneid y did not come from the defendant's pistol. The duty of the fury, said Judge Wilson in conclu- sion, was to the defendant «true deliverance giye. Jndge Wilson spoke briefly and very earn- catiy, nbd his remstrks orented pot. © Ue sen- sation. At the conclusion of his remarks # large diagram, showing the scene of the shoot- ing, was brought in and placed in view of the jury just back of the witness stand. THE FIRST WITNZ6S. Henry W. Brewer, « civil engineer, was the first witness called, and testified that he made the measurements for the drawing and that the diagram was a correct representation of the locality. By the aid of three Bibles the witness illustrated the formation of the bay window in the Hamlink residence and explained fust where the pistol ball entered on the we side and where it hit the opposite wall. He then passed a line from the mark onthe wall FAIR SPECTATORS. throngh the hole in the glass in the window to point about three and half feet from the ground, which showed that the shot must have been fired from a point 67.86 feet distant, which made the point between Nos. 1739 and 1741 Q street. Cross examined by Judge Wilson the witness said that hecould not state definitely just where the pistol was held from which the ball which entered the window came; he‘ could only state approximately. At the conclusion of the tostimony of this witness, after waiting some time for another witness, the court et 12:40 ordered @ recess until 1 o'clock. PHOTOGRAPRER WISE'S EVIDENCE. Harry A. Wise, a photographer, was the first witness called after recess and identi- tified a number of large photoggaphs taken by him. representing, the location where the shooting took place and theadjoming neighbor- hood. ‘The witness was minutely examined as to the correctness of the photographs, and they were handed to the jury and closely examined by them, the district attorney stating that he desired ‘by the means of the photographs to familiarize the jury with the scene of the shoot- ing. HANNAU BURGESS SAW THE SHOOTING. Hannah Burgess, a short, stout colored woman, was the next witness called, She testi- fied that she lived at 1717 R street northwest; that on the night of Jannary 31 last, between the hours of 7 and 8 she was on Q street, on the north side, walking toward 170 e pased two ladies and a gentleman about the middle of the block; that they were going in the same direction sho was going; that as she passed them she noticed a gentleman crossed Q street and said something nd gentlemen she could not that she was two doors ahead of then; that one of the ladies and one in black went them stopped on ahead a little; the next that she knew there was a pistol shot and she turned; the man who came across the street fired the shot and four more; the ladies screamed and the shots fol- lowed close togetiver; there was no time be- tween them; heard’ no one speak, only one of the ladies screamed, “Ob, I'm shot. I’m shot.” The man who fired the shots dropped the pistol and grabbed up his over- coat, and it was the one who had crossed the strect. This man went down Q to 17th, where he was joined by man, the hman who shot, then ran down 17th street, and the other went out Q to 16th. She said she did not know any of the parties and would not know them now. When the man shot he faced the house on the north side. ‘The lady with the light was facing that man, and were very close together. ‘The other gentleman was standing a little way back from them. The whole five shots were fired right after another, with no time between them. CROGS-EXAMINED BY ME. WILSON. Cross-examined by Judge Wilson: She first told the Indies in the house where she stopped about the shooting that night, as soon as she ot in; they were Carrie Eppa and Georgie Banas Did not tell them janes I have told ithere. She told it fo two or three others and to a gentlemanin the district attorney's ofice, to Mr. Cole and another gentleman. Her state- ment was taken down and afterward signed by her. After she heard the gentleman say some- thing it was only a few seconds before the ahoot- ing took place. When the man first came up he was close up to the lady and he reached out and touched her. The man dropped bis pistol right at the curbstone, right where the shoot- ing took piace. The other man fell right at the curbstone, part of his body and his face being in the street. eg Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: Sandy Alexander. jr., and Mary Jackson; Howard M.

Changes Made Among Methodist Preachers im the Washington Churches. , Washington Methodists spent a considerable portion of yesterday evening in discussing the appointmentsof preachers for the M.E. churches forthe ensuing conference year. These were ennonnced in Baltimore yesterdsy and were printed in yesterday's Stan, The more important of changes was that which brings to Foundry Church the Rev. Oliver A. Brown. Dr. Brown has for some time been pastor of the Eighteenth Street M. E. Church ip New York city, and next previous to that appointment was located at Ho- boken. He is a graduate of Ohio Wes- leyan University and Drew Theological Seminary. and is therefore possessed of educe- tional attainments far above the average. Physically Dr. Brown is imposing. He has a fine voice and is universally conceded to bes good-natured and even jolly 3] terial humanity. F he is not # specialist is a good preacher, but he shinesas an all-around Pax good deal of surprise was expressed whe! it was found that the Rev. George Elliott hi been assigned to Dumbarton. The limit of his term at Foundry had®@been reached, 0 & reappointment was impossible, but’ the general impression was to the effect that he would go to one of the Baltimore churches. Dr. Elliott's preference was for Washington, though, and as Dumbarton was available he was sent thither. He relieves Rev. Amos, who goes to Canton. Rev. James MeLaren comes from Canton to Ane- costia. Douglas Memorial gets the Rev. E. 0. El- dridge, who has for five years been at Exeter Street, Baltimore. Exeter Street was a down- town church, most ditticult to maintain, but Mr. Eldridge built it up wonderfully, and left it with a store of vitality which may last it for some time. He anticipates large opportunities for good work in Northeast Washington. There was no change at Metropolitan. Dr. Corey has served four years, but it is stated that as the church had not succeeded in finding & pastor whom it deemed acceptable and who ould come, it wa sided that Dr. Corey should round out his five-year limit. A verious and almost successful effort was made by some of the Baltimore churches to commit ‘grand larceny. They wanted to steal the Hey, E.'S. ‘Todd, D. Dy now pastor of Hamline Church. Had Dr. Todd given the prupositions even the slightest oncourngement Hamline would have lost the preacher and pastor it is #0 proud of. He clected to remain at his present station, where he has been but one yea: Fourth Street gets the Rev. W. F. Speake, who has for the past six years been presiding elder of the East Baltimore district. Mr. Spenke is not unknown in Washington. He is au energetic pastor and has the assistance of his wife wnd daughter in church work. Both ludies are exceptionally successful in that field of usefulness, Rey. W. M. Ferguson, who was Mr. Speaki redecessor ut Fourth’ Street, goes to Sou! itimore station. ; ———— THE PENSION OFFICE INQUIRY. The House Special Investigating Committee Resumes Its Labors.

Raum, jr., by direction of Assistant Secretary Bussey, who in a per- sonal note signed C. B. requested wit- ness at once to secare the resignation of —, to take effect in thirty days, blank meaning young Raum, it being desired to keep the mat- ter quiet until the resignation was consum- mated. Witness said that Acting Secretary Chandler accepted the resignation. to take effect at once, but subsequently modified the acceptance 80 as to allow thirty days’ leave, Gen. Bussey saying he would take the responsi- bility therefor. THE RESIGNATION OF HOWARD. ‘Mr. Enloe then asked witness about a paper relating to the resignation of Edward Howard, a clerk of class 8 in the pension office, Mr. Payson, counsel for the commissioner, said he did not wish to be technical, but if this related to a matter which occurred months and months after Green B, Kaum, jr.. resigned he thought it was not a substantial matter and he should object unless it was proposed to show a connection between the two events. Mr. Enloe said: It has been proven here by the testimony of the Secretary of the Interior, and other witnesses that charges were filed by Howard and Engle against Green B. Raum, jr. and on account of those charges | tl commissioner of pensions sought to have these men removed from office, and persecuted them. He did have Taylor (wh suspected of being connected with the ed and demanded Howard's and and the latter was removed and Howard resigned. NOT A SHADOW OF EVIDENCE. Mr. Payson—You say that is all in evidence. There is not a shadow of evidence showing that. ir. Enloe said there was a suspicion that Taylor's removal was on account of charges against young Raum, and the fact that there were charges made by the commissioner against Howard and Engle because of this matter. Mr. Payson——If the gentleman will say on honor that he expects to connect Green B. Raum here with anything of this kind I will take his word for it and raise no objection, but Ido not intend that the record shall be filled with inferences which shall be accepted as facts. HOWARD'S LETTER READ. Mr. Enloo replied that he did expect toprove that. He then put in evidence the letter of resignation of Edward Howard. In this letter Howard said that over one month before he wrote it he had made certain grave charg against the administration of the pension bi reau and had offered positive proof of the truth of the charges. He had patiently waited to be called upon to establish the truth of the charges. The letter of Commissioner Raum recom- mending the acceptance of the resignation was also read, which, in effect, showed that Howard was absent without leave. The Cismissal of Engle was then discussed, in which it was shown that the grounds for his dismissal was not sufficient to justity such ac- tion and, upon recommendation of Senators Quay, Cameron and Manderson, in the con- sideration of his services in the war of the re- bedion, in which he lost an arm, Engle was reinstated. The case of F. M. Taylor, a special examiner in the bureau, who resigned, wascalied up. A letter from Mr. Taylor to the Secretary of the Interior was read by Mr. Tonner, ja which ‘Taylor charges that although he had never taken part in the fight against Commis- sioner Raum he (the commissioner) used his official means to hound him down. ‘The letter further states that the writer was assured by Gen. Bussey that there were no charges against him except what was published in a news- Paper, to the effect that ‘Taylor was engaged in conspiring against Commissioner Raum. 4 letter from the comminsioner in regard to the Taylor matter was read, in which the commissioner recommended that ‘Taylor term- inate his service by reason of the limitation of the period for which he was appointed. pastel uarcty ‘Dr. John Edwin Masun’s Will. ‘The will of the late John Edwin Mason was filed today.
