SCDNMIDER'S ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT PRE- BUT NOT READ—MORE PASSAGES OF WORDS BETWEEN DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL AND Tue court. The emallest crowd of the trial was present this morning when the ninth day of the Schneider murder trial was begun. There were two reusons for this—the very disagree- able weather and the fact that at a conference of Judge Bradley with Marshal Ransdell, Dis- trict Attorney Cole and Judge Wilson im- mediately after the court adjourned yesterday afternoon it was decided that hereafter ad- TRYING TO GET I¥. miasion to the trial should be by cards, fasted by the district attorney. On the opening of the court Judge Wilton stated that he would like Inter on to recall Col. Hamlink and Dr. Foster for further cross-ex- amination. HAMLINK'S TESTIMONY. Mrs. Ellen Hamlink, the mother of Mrs. Schneider, was the first witness called. Mre. Hamlink, a stnail deheate woman, clad in deep mourning, was permitted to testify while seated, she being in very poor health. She tes- tified that she first beeame acquainted with the deiendant last May. She first learned of the marriage of the defendant and her danghter m ber daughter Jennie the 23d of last Oc- tober. She told her husband the next day of it. Witness talked with the defendant's mother about the marriage two or three times before the defendant came to live at Col. Hamlink’s. Col. Hamlink was present at one of the inter- views which were held in the Hamlink resi- denet The witness then corroborated the testimony siready given concerning the locking of the oor on Schneider in January, and also identi- fied the notes, already submitted in evidence, which passed between the defendant and his wife at that time. [The notes haveappeared in Tue Stax] mlink stated that a few days after he out the defendant and two strange colored men called for his things. As he went up to his room the defendantcalled his wife and she went upstairs with him to their room. THE SCENE OF THE TRAGEDY.

District attorney—When did you first see your son after he was shot? Mrs. Hamlink (between ner sobs)—While he was lying in the etrect I bent over him and called to him, but he did not answer. Then I went to my ¢ ed her if she wes shot ‘and si |. “Ob, mamma, I'm suot, too. He las shot me and Frank, t District attorney—Mre. Hamlink, did y daughter ever say in your presence whether believed she would recover? Jirs. Hamlink—Yes, sir. On the next morn- ing after she was shot I went into her room abont 7 o'clock, when she said to me: “Oh, mamme. Lean't live. Tean’t be with you very hard, isn’t it, mamma?” stated that her daughter after- juently spoke of the fact that she Adie and was about to give Mrs. Jer’s version of the shooting, when on objected on the ground that no notice of the taking of the dying declaration been served on the defendant or » copy The objection was overruled. AMY'S STORY OF THE SHOOTING. Mrs. Hamlink—She said: “Mamma, he took me by the wrist and fired three shots into my body and then turned and fired twice at frank.” Lasked her if Frank did any shoot- ing and she replied, “No, mamma, he did not. He had no pistol. Ob, mamma, what a grasp he [the defendant] gave my wrist ! Mrs. Hamlink then corroborated the testi- mony heretofore given concerning the bruise ou her daughter s wrist, and stated that ber daughter's mind was perfectly clear except for ashort time during tie night before she died. ‘A QUESTION NOT ADMITTED. Judge Wilson, on cross-cxamination—“Dire. Homlink, what was said at the interview bad Vetween you and Mrs. Schneider, the mother of the defendan: The court—You need not answer, madam. The conversation 18 between a third person and therefore not admissible. Judge Wilson—While the answer might be inadmissible, my object is to get the question before the court. ‘Luis case may go up. before another court, and unless this question is per- mitted to be asked that court could not pass upon its materiality. The court—As the question is not proper the answer coukl not be. You cannot ask the question. [Exception noted. ] The witness, continuing, suid that she only heard part of the interview between the de- ant, Col. Hamlink, and her daughter, Amy. Frank might kave been present. Howard was CLERK WILLIAMS. locked out but once. Mrs. Hamlink then de- led the incident of the defendant's cail the nday morning after he was locked out, her testimony not differimg from that already given by Col. and Miss Hamlink concerning it. Mrs. Hamlink «tated that she was on the sec- ond story when she heard the firing: that she ren ont on the street, but could not state whether the defendant's mother and sisters were on the street when she went out on the pavement. She talked frequently with her daughter concerning her chauce of recov- ery. but the latter newer said she expected to recover. Witzess was present when her daugh- ter made her ante-mortem statement and saw he> sign it. She saw hypodermic injections of m rphine given her daughter. They were given vy Dr. Foster on both arms.

Judge Wilson, handing the witness the dying declaration of Mra. Schneider—Is this the state- ment she made? Mrs. Hamlink—It is, Judge Wilson wus about to read from the statement when the government objected. it being stated by the district attorney that atthe proper time the statement would be submitted in evidence, but that untii then the defense had no right to use it im any way alge Wilce—We proyess to show, your honor, that Mrs. Schneider made different statements on different occasions by reading from the paper the question we desire to ask. Judge Bradiey—Do you wish to offer that statement in evidence? Judge Wilsou—No. question. Judge Wilson—Will your honor perm ny quent then submit it to your honor that the question may not be heard by the jury and therefore have no intluence upon them?” , Judge Bradiey—Yes; you may do’ that and then 1 will pass apon it. ‘The question was then written oat and sub- mitted to the court and the objection to it romptly continued. | The question was as fol- we: not our daughter when the paper you have identi ~ Tollo pt it’ Taaid?

Hamlink was, recalled b; vern- ment and stated thet on the night. he earned of his daughter's marriage the defendant had on a light overcoat. ARTRUR T. KIva. Arthur T. King, employed in the gus office, testified that he knew Robinson Riley, who was cousin of witness. He said be was walking on Q street with Mr, Riley one night Inst fall about 11 or 12 o'clock. Was on the north side of the street between 17th and 18th streets, going cast. When about in front of No. 1733 the door was opened and two men eame out. They seemed to be in au altercation. Witness and Mr. Riley stopped to see what was going on, One man was apparently anxious to get the other away. ‘The other said: “You know me, — Frank, Then something was said by this man, continued witness, about shooting; just whut {don't remember. The man ona light overcoat. A moment later a ¥ came out on the atepaand went down and spoke to the two men. After she came out I dno more thrents, and the two men walked off. I looked particularly at the num- ber of the house and noticed that it was 1733. Iwas curious to know who lived there, and ext day at the gus office looked up the num- ber in the route book and found that D. F. Hamlink lived there. Cross-examiued—Witness said he could not accurately fix the date of the occurrence. He thought thathe and hie friend were on their way home from Georgetown. ‘The two men came down the steps together. Could not defi- nitely say whether one hud hold df the other or not, but had an impression that one did have hold of the other. Did not remember the two men walking up the steps of the next house. ‘The lady went up to them while they stood on the street. She said something to them, but could not remember what she said. “I am positive,” witness continued, “that the man with’ the light overcoat made the remark about shooting.” Witness said he mentioned the matter to Howell Stew- art in the gas ofhce the next morning and men- tioned the matter next to Frank Schneider about two months later, when wituess asked Mr. Schneider who lived ‘there. He also men- toned it to the district attorney about three weeks ago. ; At the conclusion of this witness’ examina- tion, at 12:30, a recess was taken tintil 1. AFTER RECESS. Robinson Riley, a young man living at No. 9 Towa circle, was the first witness called after recess. His evidence mainly corroborated that of Mr. King, who testified during the morning session. ‘ihe witness said that one of the two men who came out of No. 1738 said to the other: “You know me, Frank. You know the kind of a man Lam.” The man who said that said he wouid shoot someone in the house. Witness saw the Indy Come out, bat did not he what she said tothe man. She then went back into the house and the man ad- dressed as Frank went back in a little while. ‘The other man went off toward 18th street. Cross-examined—Saw the men about 11:30 one night last fall, Could not say what month it was, nor did he remember whether one of the men had hold of the other or not, see the men go up the steps next door, man who spoke said he would shoot Havo Did not The me impression that it was one. an “I ORJECT, YOUR 10NOR.” a Saturday night. Witness —_ spoke of the occurrence to Mr. King about a week after the shooting, and hnd not talked over the matter with Mr. King since he testified. “I took junch with him just now,” said witness, “and asked him how be got through on the stand. His reply was: ‘I don’t care to talk about it" At the conclusion of Mr. Riley's testimony Col. Hamliuk was sent for. at Judge Wilson's request, for further cros#-exnmination. Vhile waiting for Col. Hamlink to take the stand Judge Wilion said: “Your honor. I now move to strike out the testimony of King and Riley because of its immateriaiity and be- cause the persous mentioned by them were not identified.” ‘The conrt (promytiy)—Motion overruled. Judge Wilson—Please note an exception, Mus. LIPSCOMB, Col. Hamtink not being found Mrs, A. M. Lipscomb was called, She testified that she resided at No, 1710 Q street at the time of the shooting. She heard the shots and with ber husband weut over to Col. Hamlink’s house. She sxw the body of young Hamlink in the parlor and saw Mra Schneider sitting there. She went to her and endeavored to console her. She pomted out on her body the wounds. She was in great pain and was moaning aud sighing. She was about to faint. Witness sent for Mr, Lipscomb and had him assist wit- news in helping Mrs. Schneider to the frout second-story room, where she, was J ‘on the bed. She remembered hearing Mr. Lips- comb and Col. Overton question ber concern- ing the shooting. ‘That was before Dr. J. Ford ‘Thompson arrived. Mrs. Schneider was ver; wenk and exhausted and in intense pain, continually asked for something to relieve painand ‘aid thatshe wished’ she had been killed outright. District attorney—What was your opinion as to her ability to rationally answer questions concerning the shooting? Judge Wilsone-We object to the witness’ opinion, ‘The court—You may answer. ‘The witness I thought she was about to die. She was very weak and replied to questions in a bewildered manner. Witness stated that she was pkosent at the operation and saw the buliets removed. ‘They were handed to Mr. Lipscomb, who handed them to Mr. Howard Clagett. Cross-examined—Witness said thet Mra. Schneider's mind was rather clear at first after getting her upstairs, Judge Wilsou--What did she say when Mr. Lipscomb asked er about the shootizig? District attorney —We object, ‘The court—objection sustained. [Exeeption noted.} HOW MANY sHoTS FIRED. Judge Wilson—State how many shots were fired. ‘The witness—I did not count them; my im- pression at the time was that there were more than five. Judge Wilson—How many more than five? The witness—I don't know, Judge Wilson-—-What was done when you and your husband heard the slots? Mrs. Lipscomb—Mr. Lipscomb caught up his pistol, snd we then went over to the Hamlink residence. COL. OVERTON RECALLED. Col. Overton, who testificd several days ago, was recalled, and stated that Mra. Schneider physical condition, when witness saw her in her room shortly after the shooting, was that of # woman “who had been shot three times.” THE JUDGE LECTURES THE cRowD. The colonel’s remark caused a very audible laugh among the audience, and Judge Bradley, sharply rapping for order, said: “It is simply disgusting the way ‘people sit here and smile at every little thing which case. IE have noticed more of this among the females than amoug the men present. If L notice any more of it I will have the party or parties re- moved from the room. ‘As his honor finished his remarks a young man in the crowd back of the bar feil to the floor in a faint. He was at once removed. After a short legal skirmish Col. Overton stated that while her statement might be rational witnes# did not believe much reliance could be placed in it et Remembered Faithful “Old Aunty.” Mrs. Frances Carter of Altco, Ill, has sud- dently become rich under circumstances which have in them tinge of romance.

THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY. Two Able Papers Read at Its Meeting Last Night. MAS. 3. W. POWRLL REFUTES SPENCER'S THEORY OF SOCIETY AND SHOWS ITS PALLACY—Mu. JAMES H, BLODGETT DISCUSSES aT soMt LENGTH THE RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEM. “<The philosophy of Spencer is the philosophy of the brat Thus spake Maj.John W-Powell at the Cosmos Clad last night. The audience pricked up its cw"Sharks do as they will snd permit other sharks to do the same; serpents do as they wily and grant other serpents the same liberty; vul- tures do as they willand grant other vultures equal liberty, and the hyenas are goverened by the Spencerian law of justice. Spencer's law of justice belongs to animal life ana not to human life; it finds its sanction in the laws of evolution pertaining to animal life, and ir utterly condemned by the laws of evolution pertaining te human life. But more than tha’ by the statute laws of every enlightened society. ‘Let theo new philosophers attempt to’ live conformity, to their own law only and they will find themselves arrayed as criminals, for crinie is liberty uncontrolled by justice: These bold utterances were made before the one hundred and ninety-first regular meoting of the Anthropological Society, subject under discussion being “Spencer's Theory of ciety.” Maj. Powell started out with ‘the intention of stripping the bark of sophistry from the renowned philosopher's theory and Jeaving the naked trank of argument standing shivering in the chill wind of criticiem. THE ORIGIN OF GOVERNMENT. Maj. Powell explained that Spencer teaches that the origin of government is in militancy— that bodies politic are organized by reason of intertribal and international aggressions and that the primitive type of government is mili- tant. Spencer affirms that there has been a steady course of evolution from the militant to the industrial type, this being the normal course of evolution, although interfercd with occasionally by lapses to the militant type. ‘Maj. Powell took issue with the philosopher atthe jump by denying that statement and aftirminig that among the lowest ‘ribes whore governmental organism has been exumined the militant type is not found. ‘The beginning of government is in the regulation of the sexes in the interest of peace. The evolution of gov- ernment is not from the militant to the indus- trial. Maj. Powell asserted that Spencer, desiring to know how human conduct should "be regu- lnted, turns bis investigations to worms, dis- covers the principle and then applies ‘it to mankind, calling this guidance by fundamental lat According to Spencer fighting peoples, not just peoples, have survived. Nations have pro- gressed by wars, not by the development of knowledge, of internal justice, of industry; the great agency of human evolution is war. A street brawl is the Spencerian method for im- proving mankind, for there is a survival of the fittest. ‘There is the merciless discipline of nature, red in tooth aud claw. ‘THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. Dominated by such a philosophy it is not strange that Spencer pleads for the application of the survival of the fittest to man in society. Spencer lays great stress upon the importance of every man receiving the consequences of his own conduct, He claims that ouly in this man- ner is it possible for society to improve, and this thought is the keynote to the Spencerian theory of haman life. may inherit poverty and improvi- dence; society realizing the awful consequences that result therefrom, interferes between cause and consequence and obtains for the child an education uot otherwise obtainable. Spencer resents this interference of society and con- demus it. Let the child remain in poverty and improvidence that nature may correct the evil by bringing it to an untimely death. Under the fw of survival those who work evil will soon die out. The syeucerian theory is the permission of justice: the theory of society is the promotion of justice. The Spencerian rule is, let every oné alone to conduct himself as he will and take the consequences of Lis conduct. The consequences'of good conduct are happiness, | joy and pence; of bad conduct, unhappiness, pin and strife. The Spenéorian philosophy says tet conduct bring its reward, be it heaven or hell; the philosophy of humanity says let us reform con- duet that hell may be avoided and heaven Choose ye between Spencer and humanity. ‘THE RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEM. Maj. Powell devoted one hour and thirty. minutes to his remarks upon the theory of Spencer. «He then gave way to Mr. Jns..H. Blodgett to discuss “The Rural School Prob- lem.” Mr. Blodgett seid that the changing re- lations between eity and country or urban and ral population in the past fifty years have attracted geueral attention in Europe and America. Something like a law may be recog- nized in the experience of the United States, where the farming land is not yet all_in the bands of individual owners. There is likely to | be an Increase in the population of | a newly settled agricultural town or, ry “until owners occupy the land by which time the population is likely to be ata maximum and then begin: adecline. Im- tion ceases, the children of the earlier settlers growing up, leave home to try their fortunes on newer lands or in venser eommun- ities, and a little luter those prosperousty growing old in farm work betake themselves to villages and towns for a more lewurcly life. ‘The best promise for a wholesome future to youth is in communities sufiiciently compact to afford ready use of modern improvements without losing the beneficent influences of the farm. No «chool room exercises with children ac- customed only to brick walls and paved streets can do for them in certain important elements of character and knowledge what is done for this country child by his very conditions, even with the drawbacks of unrest and discontent with which 60 many enduce rural life. ONGANIZATION AND DURATION OF SCHOOLS. Opposite social conditions influence the or- ganization and duration of schools in city and country. In the city one motive to lengthen ration of school attendance is to provide eof responsible supervision of children cannot be busy under the eyes of their parents. It is more difficult to organize a school in the country than in the city. There ure in | New England moi 200 schools averaging less than six jscholars each. Consolidation of districts iv a partial remedy for weakness, but space itself msy be « barrier. Maine and Florida have cach a thiuly settled district larger than the state of Connecticut. | ‘the whole soci: . including the schools, would be elevated by facility of neighborhood sociation. In the great corn belt of the United States it aas been a common experience for trayel on the country roada to be abso- lutely stopped by mad. Drain tile factories have done more in the past generation for the rural schools of central Ilinois than changes in the school law. ‘The Congressional Directory gives a bit of biography of «ome 400 men An overwhelm- ing’ proportion, as boys, had only common country school privileges, but carried studious habits into mature life either with or without coliegiate opportunity. Within a few years industrial training has re ceived much attention. but its popular devel- pment has been irregular and almost whol: in the line of manufacture of central Europe have gardens for instruction; the schoo! house is the teacher's home and hia tenure is permanent. We omit these features in our imitation of the great European teachers and attempt to copy Pertalozzi and Froebel’s kindergartens without the gardens. PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS. From the nature of things professional teachers are absorbed by the strong schools, G50. W. KNOX. LAST TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. fs ie il this law of the new philosophy is eh oe Impressive Faneral Services Over the Ke- ‘ mains of Geo. W. Knox. A Inst tribute of respect to the memory of George W. Knox was paid in the funeral serv- ices which were held today athis late residence, 808K street. The house wasentirely inadequate to accommodate all who wished to attend the services. Men prominent in business circles paused in the midat of the hurr: life to show their respect and deceased by their presence. ‘The members of Federal Lodge and of Washington Commandery were present as organizations, but owing to the lack of room they did not enter the house until the close of the first part of the rvices. ‘The gathering was an impressive illustration of the worth of the man whose long business career in this city had brought him into such close reiations with a large circle. ‘The remains were placed in # casket which oceupied the center of the parlor and about it were arranged beantifal flowers, ¢ributos of affection and friends! Rev. Dr. Rankin officiated and delivered an address, in which he spoke of the integrity of the deceased and his unblemished reputa- tion, which he had left as a precious legacy to his fansily.” He had displayed in his business eareer the energy and enterprise of his New England birth, and as the city had de- veloped his conception of its needs had ex- panded. Upon the conclusion of Dr. Rankin’s re- marks he offered prayer, and then the members of Federal Lodge filed in and took the last view of the facezof the deceased. ‘The beautiful service of the Knights Tem- pier was then rendered by the members of ashington Commandery. The remains wore borne from the house to the hearse by the pallbearers who were as follows: E. G. Davis, W. J. Stephenson, E. H. Cham- berlin, M. ML. Parker. §.J. Thompson, J. D. Bartlett, W. C. Bickford and W. H. Orcutt. The interment was at Glenwood, the services being conducted by Federal lodge. sacle sae SAID TO BE A “SPEAK EASY.” A Liquor Case on Trial in ti! Today. John Jobnson’s alleged “speak easy” at No. 2525 M street northwest was the subject of a judicial investigation in Judge Miller's court today, where his counsel, Lawyer Carrington, had demanded a jury trial. The charge against John was keeping an unlicensed bar. Policeman Patrick O’Brien was the first wit- ness examined and he told the court of what he had seen about the alleged “speak easy.” He had ecen a number of men going in and out of the house. He had seen many intoxicated per- sons come out of there. Witness was in the house a few days ago and while there he saw many empty liquor bottles and several bottles filled with liquor. In the base- ment of the house a man named Craw/ord keeps ® pool room. On cross-examination witness said that the pool room wus frequented by boys. Sergeant John A. Moore of the third Precinct also gave testimony. He saw eight jeer glasses and six whisky glasses on a table in the room, and in the cupboard he foun | bottles and demijobns of wine, whisky and gin.and there was also a box of beer the ‘The defendant said that he bad the liquor there for his store in the country; that he had drank out of the glasses found on the table. Several other witnesses were examined and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Counsel made a motion in arrest of judg- ment.
