One of the most dramatic features so far in the dramatic Schneider trial was the appear- ance on the witness stand this morning of Mra. Schneiaer, the mother of the defendant. She is a pleasant looking, middle-aged Indy, dremed in black and wearing gold bowed spectacles, She was the second witness of the morning and her appearance on the st@md was the signal for the craning of nccke forward and u renewal of curiosity on the part of the audience. IN THE WITNESS Room. During the course of her examination by Jndge Wilson she was asked as to. whether Col. Hamlink had ever threatened to shoot her son Ho: © question was objected to by Mr. Col » objection was susiained by the urt, but notwithstanding this Mrs. Schneider nswered it in the affirmative. Judge Bradley reproved the witness rather pointedly for her over-zealousness and cau- tioned her ageinst transgressing in that way again. ‘The reply wax ordered to be stricken from the record. While his mother was on the stand Schneider showed rather more interest then usual, but there were no signs of any emotion, suve when Judge Bradiey reproved Mra chueider.

OPENING OF THE CouRT. Court was opened promptly at 10 o'clock and after Mr Williams, the elerk of the court, had called the names of the jurors the first witness of the morning was called. It wasa young man named Frank Bove In answer to questions from Judge Wilson he said that he lived at 1329 G street. On the night of Jannary 31 he was in 1714 Q street. He liad come out of the house when the firing took place. fle said there was a distinct interval between the first and second shote. There were more than five shots fired, but he could not say bow many. He heard the shots and saw a man ranuirg ont frou, the sidewalk with something in his kinnd, which was extended at the time. Witness was too far off to say what it was in the man's hand. but he saw the man fall mto the street. The ers Was not al- lowed to state what his impreewon was as to the object the man had in his hand. MK. BOVER’S CKOSS-EXAMINATION.

She saw no one else there and heard not a sound from anybody. She heard no screams No one was near the body when witness stepped out. She had no exact knowledge of the spot where the shooting oc- curred. She did not remember that her daughters went with her to the body. Witness thought she wes the first to reach the body, or else she» reached it jast as Mr. Manning did. He and witness approached it from the same direction. She first saw Mr. Man- ning just as the body was reached. She saw Col. Hamlink about wsecond later. He walked up to the head of the body. She had a speak- ing acquaintance with Mr. Manning and Col, Hamlink at that time, Witness approached the body as closely as possible. Tho body lay on its back, a little inclined on the right wide. Sue did not sce the face. She did not know whether its bat was on or off. She went back toward the pavement, where Amie was standing. She stood nearly in front of her own house. She saw Amie’s sister with her. Witness only asked Amie what wax the matter. Witness knew her very weil, but said nothing else to her after she said she was shot, Witness then went up to Willam — Schneider's house. She did not know whose body IN THE ANTE-Room. it was. She asked whose it was, but no one re- ied. She did hear Col. Hamlink say, as if to imseif: “My son, Frank.” Sle did ‘not ask him anvthing further and went home. She heard whose body it was about twenty or thirty minutes afterward. She didnot go to tho Ham- link’s that night or since. Ske did not offer Amie any assistance when .she (Amie) replied that she was shot, for she didn't believe her, Witness was not ia her (wituess') kitchen when the firing took ‘place. She did not know that Mr. William Sebneider was in the house at that time. Sie was cer- tain that witness was not in the kitchen or basement at the time of the shooting. She did not ask Jennie Hamlink what the matter was, and did not hear her say “Howard Schneider has killed my brother Frank and shot my sister.” Witness knew a Mra. Magee. She had seen her since the shooting in witness’ parlor. She did not tell her that the family were all in the dining room when the shooting occurred. Witness saw Howard about 7 that evening and did not remember seeing him af- terward that night. She saw him leave a ehort while after supper. The court—Mrs. Schneider, do you mean to say that when you left the body you thought it was your son? Witness—I did. The court—And you left it with that belief? Witness—I did. The court—And you did not stoop down to look at his face? Witness——I did not Judge Wilson was not allowed to ask witness why she thought it was her son’s body. [Ex- ception noted } Witness—There was no strange youn’ lady in the house before or after the shooyng that night. She said she did not hear Howard say, as he passed out that night, that he was going to do up the Hamlink family, or words to that effect. Judge Bradley stated that on referring to his notes be found that Col. Hamilink had been asked by the defense if he (Hatmlink) had threatened to shoot the defendant, and the re- ply was that he had not. The defense was therefore bound by the answer. IR. A. AL LIPSCOMB, Mr. A. A. Lipscomb testified that he heard the shooting. He heardone solitary shot, then & most pronounced interval, then a number of shots, then another single shot. He had never fixed the number of shots mn his mind. He did not pretend to count the shots. They were fired too rapidly. He had no impression as to the exact number of shots, but did have an impression that there were more than five shots. Witness was not allowed to state whether or not he had reason to be- lieve from the sounds of the shote that more than one pistol was used. ‘The witness anid he went over to Col. Hamlink’s at once. He took over two pistols, Both were brought buck. As witnose went in he raw Frank Schneider at the steps. He saw young Hamlink’s body in the parlor and Mrs. Amie Schneider there. He had a conversation with her there, on the way up to her room and in her room. NoT PERMITTED BY THE couRT. ge Wilson endeavored to ask witnes what she said about the shooting in order to contradict hor so-called dying declaration, but an objection by the government that’ the foundation had not been laid by showing that hex mind at the time was clear was sustained. Judge Wilson said: Your honor. it is for the jury to determine whether she was competent to muke a statement at that time ‘The court, sharply—No, it is not, It is for the court to determine. Judge Wilson then argued that it had beon shown by the government's own witnesses that she was ina condition to state rationally her version of the shooting. ‘The distriet attorney claimed that Mrs. Schneider waa suffering great pain, was in great ony and was for sometime afterward in no condition to make a rational statement. In reply Judge Wilson stated that the de- fense asked the question mereiy to contradict the fact that Mrs. Scheider made only one version of the shooting. ‘fhe purpose was simply to show that she made an entirely dif- ferent statement to Mr, Lipscomb than from tatement.

TH ‘The court, after Judge Wilson's remarks, simply stated that he saw no reason to change the rating. Judge Wilson then offered to show what he could prove by the witness, when his honor stated that he would not allow the offer to be stated on the ground that only questions and not leading ones could be asked: beet nap a tion as to what it was sought to be shown by the witness would be allowed. ‘Many exceptions were noted im these in- stances by the defense. ‘The witness, continuing, stated that he-ex- amined the Hamlink house that night. He saw «a Mr. Wescott there. [Witness not allowed to state whether he searched for any particular {hing in the house that night in company with = ‘exeega that he searched for a re- volver.

Favorably Acted Upon by the House District Committee Today. At the regular meeting of the House District committee this morning the bill heretofore agreed upon providing for the erection of a house of detention for women was amended by inserting provisions for the accommodation of girls as well as women. It was decided to reconsider the bill hereto- fore reported to the House te pay for the alley condemned -in square 493, This action was taken upon the suggestion of the Commission- ors, who state that they have lately learned of reasons why the bill should be reported ad- versely. ‘The Senate bill to water revenues of the be reported favorably.

Thue bill has been published at length in Tux STAR. ‘The bill to protect livery stable keepers was ordered to be reported favorably.

Claims Made for Different Candicates—Ar- Fangements Announced Today. ‘The experiences at the various primaries last evening was discussed by the various workers who assembled at the headquarters of the central committee this morning. There was a full interchange of views and a good many amusing occurrence related. While most of the workers have quite positive opinions as to what will be the action of the convention in electing delegates to the national convention, yet none of them feel certain enough to give » detailed estimate of the strength of the various candidates. , Ita general way the friends of the two lead- ing candidates are confident of their election on the first ballot. Mr. Dickson, who was at headquarters for a short time, told a Stax reporter that he believed he would be elected on the first ballot. A rep- resentative of Mr. Norris was of the opinion that Mr. Norris would receive 45 votes ou the first ballot and Mr. Davis 36. There are four districts where there will be contests, namely, the tenth, twelfth, sixteenth and nine- teenth. TAR TENTH pisTRICT. Mr. Campbell, who is the representative of the tenth istrict on the centr& committee and who called the meeting in that district to order, told a Stan reporter this morning that a number of men took possession of the meet- ing, had their own ballot box, which they brought to the meeting locked. They insisted on running the meeting in their own interests, + so Mr. Campbell says,and he and others withdrew to the rear of the hall, where they organized a meeting and elected a ticket. Mr. Cumpbell is expecially bitter because, as he says, ® gang of colored men wore brought in and voted, Besides the list given elsewhere in Tne Starit, is claimed that the following ticket was electe’ in the tenth district. Delegates—Jas. Ray, Geo. T. Hilten, Edward Ash; alternates— ward Kennedy, Samuel E. Furtner, Wim. Cur- ran. ‘MR. NORRIS’ CLAIM. Mr. James L. Norris, when asked by STaR reporter what was the outlook for tomorrow, said: “It looks from the action of the primaries last night as if Mr. Davis will be chosen b; thirty-nine yotesand myself by forty-eight, an we safely calculate on this result. “In all of tho twenty-two districts, except three, where our tickets were placed our dele- gates were elected. Thegentlemen elected are intelligent, honorable and reliable men, aud will spurn with indignation every attempt to swerve them from their purpose, from what- ever quarter it may come. “In each district our friends formulated and elected their own tickets, with the exception of two or three districts which are yet in doubt, both sides claiming the electian of their delegates. This may possibly culy be deter- mined in tomorrow's convention.” ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CONVENTION. At the meeting of the committee on arrange- ments of the central committoe today it waa decided to keep the credentials from all the districts and hand them over to the committee on credentials when it is appointed by the con- vention.

There is a good deal of talk about combina- tions, especially in regard to the sec- ond place. 4s 4 rule the repre- sentatives of both factions start with tie assumption that either Mr. Dickson or Mr. Norris will be clected on the first ballot. As has been stated, Mr. Dickson believes that his friends in the ‘convention are sufficiently numerous to elect him. Some of hie friends, however. are of the epinion that tho results of the primaries do not show as much strength as they expected he would develop. On the other hana they assers that there are » good many votes claimed for_ Mr. Norris which he will not get. It is possible that a combination may be made to elert Mr. Davis, although it is admitted that there 18 2 chance of the election of both | Mr. Norris and = Mr. Bickson. In} the Inter event the alternates will be of some importance, as they will probably be called upon to decide between ‘Mr. Norris and Mr Dickson when the question arises of the solution of the man to represent j the District on the national committee. WHAT MR. LIPSCOMD saYs. Mr. Lipscomb, who was seen this morning, said that he would make no estimate of the votes that would be given to him. “I know Iwill have some friends in the convention,” he added, “but carry no votes in my pocket. If the delegates vote for meI shall apreciate the Highest of all-in Leavening Power.—Latest U.S. Gov't Report. Reval Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE AUCTION SALES. _ AUCTION SALES § THIS AFTERNOON. TOMOKKOW.

There is a good deal of wire pulling go- ing on today and it is possible that a trade may be made by which the place on the national committee will be used to concentrate the votes on certain men for delegates to the convention. Now that the names of the delegates to the conven- tion are known a great deal can be done ina missionary way aud it is not likely that the opportunity will be neglected. ‘The charge that money is being used to influence voters is repeated today and there are some outspoken criticisms of the methods employed at the pri- maries. Some of the active workers are of the opinion that a registration of voters should be made in order to prevent “the fixing” of the rimaries, which is asserted was very general just evening. —_——.
