Schneider recognized witness this morning and spoke to him. The jail officials endesvored to get him to put on a suit of new clothes this morning, ‘Dut he refused. COLIN B. CRUSOR. Colin B. Crasor, another jail guard, testified that he had seen Schneider every third day and every third night almost every hour since his reception at the jail. Mr. Crasor had witnessed the in his mental condition, which began shortly after his conviction, For a while der refused to eat anything unless handed to him by the witness, and later on re- fused to eat anything handed to him by the witeees, 5 that witness was also trying to aed im. Witness then corroborated Guard trong as to the matter related by Mr. Strong. Witness believed that Schneider's mind had be- come deranged and that he was not in such» mental conditiou as to enable him to truly real- ize his position. THE CHANGE WAS AFTER CONVICTION. ‘To District Attorney Cole the witness said Schneider worried a great desl about his wife's condition between the shooting and her death, continually inquiring as to her condition. After her death he grew calmer. Witness noticed a change in his condition after his conviction. During the trial his ap, nce was neat, He n to allow his beard and hair to grow after ing sentenced. He talked reasonably before, during and after the trial, ceasing to talk rea- sonably about three months ago. He first be- gan to talk of poisoning, then of bis inven- tion and then of people being after him. Until about three months ago he appeared to be fectly rational. Schneider never to recognize witness or to call bin by name. Once when witness was told that Schneider's mother wus waiting in the office to see him and it turned out that it was his brother instead Schneider got very angry with witness, saying that he (witness) was sending him out to be poisoned. Schneider had smoked a cigar or pipe occasionally until three or four months ,when he began to smoke a pipe incessant; Chet Justice Bingbam “Cigarettes?” Wit- “No, sir, © and a pipe. Not as much at night as during the day.” He asked Bailiff Springman for a piece of chewing to- bacco this morning, but upon taking it said nothing about it being poisoned. JANE WEAVER. Jane Weaver, an elderly colored woman, was the last witness examined, and stated that she lived with the family of Gottlieb Schneider for nine months during their residence on the Maryland farm. Howard Schneider was baby at the time. The prisoner's father at times be- came very violent, generally when his wife went to the city without him. On one ¢ casion be declared that Mra, Schneider had de- serted him and threatened to kill her if she re- turned. At times witness “carrying on” in his room and making aa much noise as four or five men. Once he set fire to the woods and came to the house saying he had done it, EDMUND W. GREGORY. The firet witness called this morning was Edmund W. Gregory. He said be knew the prisoner, and in 1879, while witness was con- nected with the Norfolk Southern rail- road as chief civil engineer, he appointed prisoner first as. dranghteman and afterward made him back flagman on surveys. Schneider while ucting as lagman would often act very queerly. He would yell, strike at trees with his flag and use the most profane language. At those times his face became distorted as if from pain, Such actions only occurred when he was alone. When in company with others he was very quiet and compored. In the oftice witness gave the prisoner leticring to do. ‘At times he did excellent work, but when he bad the peculiar spells on him he would put the letters in wrong places, mi words and render hia work generally ‘The pris- oner made the most ridiculous charges against the other employes, none of them being found to have the slightest foundation in fact. While in the employ of the road Schneider had an at- tack of fever. He recovered, but ever afterward complained that he was about to die. Once, on returning from a leave of three days, be brought a double-barreled shotgun aud would take it with him on the surveys until witness forbade him. His acknese left him weak, and he requested witness to send him home in » train and in a special car. Witness had none and he was sent home by way of Norfolk. After Schneider left threatening letters were received from him calling witness a thief, a scoundrel and alloging that witness was robbing the rond by putting in fictitious vouchers. The superintendent of the | d know Schneiier’s chetheter and paid no | %22 employes enjoyed many days’ relaxation attention to the charges. Schneider wrote to witness from Norfolk, stating that if he conld get to him he would kill him. Schneider, when first made back n, exhibited the most abject fear, saying that he was afraid of bears. ‘There were no bears there. Witness believed him to be out of his mind. To the district a torney the witness said that Schneider woul often talk ineoherently. The prisoner was in the employ of witness about month or to, and he had not seen him since until yesterday. When witness noticed Schneider's queer action in the field there was a distance of from 300 yards to quarter of « mile Witness would what was the matter and Schneider would always ly, “Nothing was the batter. ‘Nothing “was wrong.” Ho always denied acting described. When ir filti inquiry as to when his mother had last called. He never particularized the persons who be said were after him. always referring to them as “they.” He complained that they made such nofses that he could not sleep. He com- plained of acid being thrown on him, and «nid be. was inventing ‘an clectrical instrament which would remove the poison from his blood. Witness could not get him to read. com ained that his brothers were set against him, Tiere were marked physical and mental as time . a gradual and increasing cay. When he first visited him he wns alertand fully realized his position. Witness did not believe that the prisoner truly his Present position. He was not, of course, an expert and his knowledge of ’the prisonet's earlier history. together with bis own observation, would color his answer as to whether he was or was not now insane. AX OBJECTION BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. ‘The district attorney objecting toan answer ‘dazed on hearsay evidence, the court sustained the objection. Continuing, Mr. Parsons said he could not get Schneider to look him in the eye, and could not prevent him from constantly reverting to the stories of poisoned food and imaginary persons, To the district attorney Mr. Parsons said the prisoner's family bad attended witness’ church ‘while they lived in that section of the city and that the prisoner had attended Sun- day school. After the family moved he saw Uittle of them. He met the prisoner often enough to keep up the acquaintance. He first Visited Schneider about a month after the shooting. ‘The prisoner rehearsed his version of the shodting,which was substantially as told by him on the witness stand at the trial. He thea talked rationally. Witness id not call upon him during the A REFERENCE TO THE TRIAL. District attorney—Doctor, aid you gather from what he said that he expected an ac- quittal? ‘The witness—I fer not to answer that question, as it might be « confidential comma- nication. ‘The court said that while it might not be « privileged communication, it merely called for the impression of the witness. Mr. Wilson—May it the court, we are perfectly willing that the utmost freedom as to questions should be allowed. We wish fullest inquiry to be made. Mr. Parsons then said that Schneider did pot refer to the outcome of the trial, referring only to what had happened. He ex sorrow at the death of his wife and raid that he could not understand how she could have sworn falsely against him, His version of the shoot- ing was in the nature of along excuse for the killing. His first visit to Schneider after the verdict was some time previous to September 18 last, but witness could not give the exact date, ‘Ho failed or refused to recognize wit- ness.
