Allan McLane Hamilton, John Chapin and Charles P. Dana, appointed by the court in the | matter of the alleged insanity of Howard J. Schneider, under sentence of death for the murder of his wife, wa: of the commission reading the report. The report covered fifteen typewritten pages and was a minute sketch of the condemned | man’s history and condition and a review of the testimony, concluding with the belief that Schneider was not insane. A crowded court room intently listened tothe report and the | conclusions of the three experts were awnited with the greatest interest, Neither the prs- oner nor any of his family were present in court, being represented by Messrs, Jere M. Wilson, A. A. Hoebling and William FP. Mat- tingly, his cogpsel. The government was rep- resented by Mstrict Attorney Birney.

TIME AND NUMBER OF RIAMINATIONS, We, severally and individually, made exam- inations of the prisoner in the jail on Monday and Tussday, January 30 and 31, and at differ- ent times in the court room during the hearing, which terminated Friday, February 10. On Monday, the 30th, an examination of about two hours was conducted by Drs. Hamil- ton and Dana, separately and together. On January 81 the examination lasted about the same time, and was Hamilton, Chapin and Dana. Shorter individ- ual examinations were made later at the court house upon five or #ix occasions. In addition to these examinations, which were oral and objective, we listened’ to the testimony of the many witnesses called by the prisoner's counsel and by tho district attorney, and have fully weighed ail the circumstances in the case. We obtained all the information possible at the jail from the physician, attendants and others, and the prisoner's cell was, in his ab- sence, carefully examined upon two occasions for evidences of filthy and untidy habits, such as often belong to. insane persc dences of outward manifestations of delusions, such as drawings, tacchanical work, scribbling, &e. We also looked for secreted food, and found several slices of bread that had app: ently lain for some time beneath the bed, for it was very bard and dry. We found baskets con- | taining glass jars. the contents of which ha evidently been fluid. Ina pail which contained excreta we found several picces of newspaper stained red thronghont which upon subsequent analysis proved tu be aniline. ‘This coloring matter the prisoner subsequently said was poison, ‘The liquid and aolid substances in the pail contained no red coloring matter. After careful search and inquiry it was impossible for us to determine the source by which the coloring matter had been introduced into the prizoner’s cell, or to explain this appearance in any ordinary’ way, although it was stated that it was die to the introduction of a disi fecting fluid, but this was not proved, and seemed to be an impossibility, as the analine coloring was confined to the paper. We ascer- tained from the attendants that the prisoner's cell was cleaned aud swept every day. i, METHODS OF PHYSICAL EXAMIS RESULTS. ‘The prisoner is a man of medium height, five feet eight inches, and weighs 126 pounds. At our interviews he was shabbily dressed, though his undergarments were clean and showed no evidences of voluntary or involun- tary soiling. His hair and beard were both TION AND long and untrimmed and were not dry or dis- | arranged. His gait and appearance were slouchy, and when he wi was in a slow, slovenly way, unattended by evidences of weak~ ness or tremor; at times, however, he mani- fested greater activity ‘and attention. His motions in the jail and in court were often very different in thie respect, There were no evidences of any skin change, abrasion or external structural alterations, bis ears being small and well formed and showing no traces of deformity or crenation, while the locai circulation in these organs, as well as the face itself, was »pparently normal. The mucous membrane was of goud color; there was no eversion of the lips, and there was an ordinary play of the facial muscles. e head was regular in shape, of average size in rejation to stature, and a measurement | with lead tape thowed that it was symmetrical and of the type known as “brachycephalic.”” The head was small, the palatal etch mod- erately elevated, but not more so than is fre- quently foind'in ordinary neurotic indi- viduals and certain habitual crirtinals. The tongue was pointed to the left side and some of the incisors of the appor jaw were missing, but replaced by artificial teeth. ‘The prisoner was fairly well nourished, there being no emaciation, and the muscular de- velopment was very fair for a man who had been shut up in prison withont exercise for many mon‘hs. His excreta for two periods for twenty-four hours were inspected and found to be sufficient: his urine wae also examined. The quantity of dejecta seemed to be consider- able and indicated thats fair amount of nour- ishment bed been takcu. His urine had » specific gravity of 1023, was of a dark color and acid reaction. A specimen of 11.5 ouncos con- tained solid matter of 245.9 graina, while the urea obtained was 162.75 grains, which is about anormal ratio. There was beside a large qua: ty of erssials of the triple phosphates. "The fecal matier was deficient in biliary matter and was of ordinary consistency. His breath was untainted, his mou'h moist and bis respiration was regular, averaging twenty per minute. There was no bodily odor. The pupils were even, responded readily to light and were not dilated nor especially contracted, as might be expected in functional brain changes or condi- tions due to nervous exhaustion. The circuln- tion seemed to be unaffected. An examination of the heart failed to show any murmurs, anemic or otherwise, and the pulse was of good volume. After exercise he perspired freely. During the visits at the jail the pulse ai about 75. ranging from 68 to 80. The digital examination was confirmed by the use of the hygmograph. The temperature was normal. ‘The bands were warm and. there was no soicntion o Diueness, and there was absence of or other appearances commonly ween among the depressed insane. His nails were long. unbitten and evidently guarded from injury. ‘The patellar tendon reflexes were id jually slightly exaggerated; the sensibility was | calted normal, ® prick at the finger tip with « small ticipated in by Dra. | also for evi- | AY, FEBRUARY 20. 1898-TEN PAGES. 1. METHOPG OF EXAMINATION OF MENTAL CONDITION AND RESTLTS. ‘We endeavored to arrive at a correct idea of his mental state by such questioning as would lead him to disclose hie alleged deiusions: We tested hie memory, hit general knowiedge of things about himeel?, bis ability to understand and reason, his consistency, his emotional con- trol, and by various other modes of inqairy cus- tomary in our experience. During our examinations he oanifested staporous apathetic condition and a vactity of mind such as occcurs in certain long-stan‘ii ineapities under other conditions. He avoi the eve of the observer and looked ont of the window or at some far-off object, slightly con- tracting his brow, and it was rarely that he would meet the eve of his interrogator. The prisoner's appearance in the cell ax de- scribed by several witnesees was that observed by us. He was apparently oblivious to the Presence of any one, and occupied a seat ag the | end of his cot, bowed down. his bat drawn over | his eves, smoking continually. When ques- | he would take some time before reply- ‘ing, and occasionally in an interrogative way would repeat the question. His answers were | never incoherent nor alwars responsive, and | he would sometimes ask to have a question re- | peated. His general attitude was one of sus- picion, but not of persistent suspicion, since he | could be persuaded to take things he at first refused. He was almost, according to his own show. ing, entirely without memory of recent or re- mote events—did not know the name of any ‘one, the season of the year. month or day, and occasionally when asked a number of questious would irresponsively refer to an alleged delu- sion which had not been led up to or intro- duced in any way. He did not know about his wife's death, his trial, nor why be was in jail, except that’ his enemies wished to steal his invention, But when he was reminded ‘outeide of the He did not know that he had ever been to the court house, according to his statement. He could not tell us the rear of bis birth, when or where he went to school or other bare an’ simple details of bis past life. He knew there was a Capitol, but did not was situated, had never crossed the Potomac or gone to Culpeper. (BAs examples of his conversation the following extracts as we remember them may be ap- pended: @ Do you think it is summer? A. Idon’t know; T don't go out, Q Is it December or March? A. L don’t remember. By this time he was looking ont of the window 1n direction of the snow npon the ground, and | tantly admitted that it must be winter. | Q. Is your father living? | (Answered after the question was repeated.) A. He is dead. Q. When did he die? A. I don't remember. Q. Did you attend the funeral? A. I don’t remember. Sometimes when the questions followed each quently “I don’t remember,” he would say, * haven't time to think of these things I aim so | interested in my machine.” At other times relation to hit surrous would say, ings or don’t remember, but Pll find out jand.tell fou.” Upon some matters he was minute. Being asked whore his house was be described « “big frame honse on a high hill.” When questions were repeatedly put to him in regard to his trial, and the subject of his in- carceration, he would then frequently refer to his invention, to persecution or to poisoning nd acid throwing, m an irrelevant an! illogical manner; but at other times when the questions asked were not those that would naturally cause bim any embarassment be maintained his stupid behavior and far-away look which Las been before described. His attitude in regard to his friend= was not always the same he manifested enmity toward at times spoke of his mother y friend. and then again declared that | she was against him. Inconsistency was also jshown in regard to another person. Some- | times he would remeraber the uame of Dr. | McWilliams, the jail physician, and then would say he could not daso. He told ys that He saw faces of people pour- | ing acid upon him, but did not speak of voices, not did be give us any evidence that he had | auditory hallucination Upon the second day of our visit it was eug- kested that be shouid take an anssthet | When this was exhibited his quiet manner im: | mediately changed and he became violent and | declared that we were going to kill him. He, upon this occasica, finally took ether after a | struggle, evineing uch cunning in bol | breath and suddenly turning his head while the cone wus placed over his mouth, his conduct being in contrast with the want of energy and apparent hebetade of previous occasions. | Upon recovery he said he was being starved and called upon his mother to bring him food. At a later stage be at once took up his complaint of alleged persecution and delusions. His behavior in the court room was the sub- ject of observation, and we believe that he was Cognizant of all that went on, and more than once manifested « play of expression which was in consonance with the surroundings, im- mediately resuming his fai look when he | made to the subject of bis delusions by the se | eral witnesses there was none of the appear: of annoyance or the demonstrat which was so marked in the jail, and there was # distinct smile when ove of his former friends testified to a more or less amusing incident. GENERAL RESULTS AND CONCLUSION, e manner timony of many witnesses, it would appear that the alleged insanity of the prisoner developed shortly after his sentence, and that period of two or three months it attained ite maximum intensity. developed a stuporous or demented condition, witb insomnia, active delusi and suspicion, visual halluc: this state has lasted until the present time. ‘There seem to kave been no serious physical comparatively goodstate of nutrition is marked by @ loss of only nine pounds from the time of his sentence until Jantary 31, and this not- withstanding the allegation that he has refused food and only eaten sparingly and most of the time in small quantities given him by one person alone. {t would appear, how- evers from the quantity and character of his discharges tbat the processes of waste and repair are normal, and the absence of phy cal deterioration indicates that the claimed somnia has at least not led to any profound ex- haustion of the vital forces. We ascertained that he was an inveterate smoker, and possibly the use of tobacco has enabled him to do without food tq some extent and has made up tor ihe loss of sleep which is alleged to have occurred. It would appear from the bulk of testimony that the alleged insanity was of eudden origin; that there was no prodromal period, and that numerous well-informed anu observant persons saw nothing in bis conduct during the trial that might be regarded as insanity; in fact, that he seemed tobe alive to the gravity of his position, and that the apparent evidences of an advanced mental disease occurred a few weeks after con- demnation. In other words, that a state char. acterized by neglect of appearance, profound loes of momory and hebetate and a’ collection of lively and chaotic delusions and hallucina~ tions were suddenly expressed, and that there ‘Was no corresponding ince of physical degeneration of any Kinds It would seom that the alleged fear of poison- ing wns not sincere, thet the loss of sleep was not so great as the testimony would show, and that the hallucinations and other demonstra- toms and their condition with which we are familiar, or with aty consistent grouping of symptoma.'

Witaor's REQrRS?, | At the conclusion of the reading of the report and after it had been formally filed Mr. Wilson tated to the court that counsel for the defense | would like to have the privilege of inspecting the report, for the purpose of framing inter- | rogatories which they might decide to put to | the commission. Chief Justice Bimbam veplied that the defense would be given such privilege, bat intimated that it was desired prepared during the day that they might be | put to the commission tomorrow morning. |__Mr. Wilson stated tbat they would make levery endeavor to do so, and tbe hearing was then adjourned until tomorrow mornitg at 10 o'clock. While the conclusions of the commission are not, of course, binding upon the court, at ie doubtful if the court's finding will differ with that of the commission. Should the eoart confirm the conclusions reached by the commission there would then bo but two courses left to the defense—-the suing out | of & writ of error to the United States Supreme Court or appeal to execative clemency. The | first is a matter of right, the second an appeal to the humanity of the President. A WRIT OF ERROR. Should a writ of error to the Supreme Court be asked, and there ts little, if any, doubt that it would be in the event of an adverse decision by the Court in Genera Term, the case would |be taken up to the former tribunal on \leged errors of the lower court in refusing Schuejder a new trial. The Supreme | Court having decided that it has uo appellate {grisdiction in criminal cates tried im the ‘strict, counsel, in order to obtain a hearing before the Supreme Court, would be compelled to show that e right | guarant ced the condemned man by the Consti- tution had been denied him during his trial, A writ of error to the Supreme Court wonld, of course, operate as a stay of the execution of the death sentence until after the case had finally been determined by that court. While it is posable, it is at the meme time extremely doubtful if such a determination could b> | before next fall. prov’ So Schneider's execution, ng the Supreme Court should decide against bum, is bardiy probable before late next all. THE QUESTION OF INSANITY AGAIN, Even at that time two courses would still re- main open to bim—the ever-available appeal to to the man’s mental condition erm aay decide that time, should the here would be to prevent counsel from asserting at | that distant time that while the man was pane several months previous he was not #o then, and demanding another inquiry jas to his tal condition at that time, | Amd even should the Supreme Court hear the case and render a decision adverse to the | prisoner before ite adj. mt for the [summer it is not all improbable that counsel would again question the man's sanity for another | ing to his condition at rp at then aud ask mental | tha€ time. As the Court in General Term gives as | place to the new District Court of Appeals on | the first Monday in April next, such « request | for another inquiry us to the prisoner's mental | condition would have to be made to it, ISLATION, A Conference Held Last Evening—The Sun- dry Civil Bill May Be Defeated. There has been formed « combination in the House to fight the suadry civil bill, which | threatens the defeat of that measure and | the necessity of an extra session of Congress, The opposition is on account of the Sherman amendment providing for 3 per cent bonds. Itis regarded os aimost certain that if the amendment is non-concurred in and the bili 1s sent to restored in conference and will be kept the bill. Therefore the alliance members and a number of ultra silver men have decided to buster against the biil to keep it from confer | ence unless an agreement is reached that under | no circumstances will the House conferees ac- cept the amendment. Such an agreement’ would be agaivst the principle of free confer- jence and is not apt to be reached. It is tbe | purpose of tho-e who are in the fight to kill the Sherman amendment, to filibuster until the 4th of March and not let the sundry civil bill pase at all, A CONFERENCE YESTERDAY. An informal conference was held at the resi: dence of Mr, Carlicle yesterday evening for the purpose of consultation in regard to the Sher- | man act and future | exme this sesai of Congress. Quite a number | of gentlemen wer present from different parte Jef the country, represeuting — different j¥iews in regard’ to the watter. The jresult of the conference was that « | Dill be prepared and, if possible, brought in for consideration at once embodying the following ideas: Fi the pur- chase of silver bullion until the excess of bul- lion in the treasury over and above the legal | requirements to redeem the coin notes issued | shall be coined into standard legal tender silver dollars, and when that is done the Sherman act | again to be executed as now. It will take about sixteen months toeoin this excess, eo the bul- | lion purchase would be suspended for that time, bucthere were six silver men who agreed to | the’ measure presented—Breckinridge of Ar- kansas, Oates of Alabama, Clarke of Alabama, | Cox of Tennessee, Turner of Georgia and Liv- | ingaton of Georgia. On the basis of the vote | taken on the Sth of this month, the votes of these men would givea victory to the anti- |silver men. The purpose is to try to get the bill before the Hon-e tomorrow or next day, and every possible effort will be made to force it through, ———— Sanday and the Fair. The world’s tair committee of the House met today and on the appearance of quorum far- relative to the Sunday opening of the exposi- | tion. ‘The discussion of the measure was gen- eral, but no conclusion was reached and the committee adjourned (to no fixed day Amember of the committee said after the meeting that he thonght it safe to say that no action on the proposition would be taken at this session of Congress. Secretary Foster Borrowed # Quarter. From the New York Times, ‘There is one newspaper man in this town who is pervonally interested in the silver views of Secretary of the Treasury Foster.
