They Reafirm Their Belief in Schneider's Sanity In 2 Supplemental Report. ‘THEY BELIEVE THAT THE SEEMINGLY sTUPOR- O08 CONDITION OF THE CONVICTED MURDERER AND HIS DELUSIONS ARE FEIGNED—A DE- CISION OF THE COURT EXPECTED NEXT MON- Dar. The supplemental report of the expert com- | mission wubmitted to the Court in General inquiry into the mental condition of Howard J. Schneider, mention of which was made in Taz Stan yesterday, inno way changed the first finding of the commission, that the condemned man Was ® sane person, and that his seemingly stuporous condition and.delusions were feigned. Dr. Hamilton read the supplemental report, and at its conclusion Chief Justice Bingham stated that the court would take the case under advisement and would announce its decision later. It is thought that the decision of the court will be delivered on Monday next, and it is expected that the court's opinion will bo quite an exhaustive one. While tt is generally Believed that the court will confirm the de- cision reached by the commission—that Schneider is not insane—it is thought by some that in view of the difference of opinion which existed between the experts for the defense and those for the government that the court will direct that the man be placed in the Govern- ment Insane Asylum for treatment, the execu- tion being postponed until such a ‘time as will permit a course of thorough treatment. The supplemental report of the commission submitted yesterday oon was as follows: ‘Text of the Report. In reference to the question of the honorable court regarding tbe following extract from our report, to wit: “During our examinations he manifested a stuporous, apathetic condition | and vacuity of mind such as occurs in certain insanities under other condi- | i long-etanding tions,” we would reply that we believe this ap- pearance on the part of the prisoner to be feigned by him. ft is trae that “under other conditions” (and by this we mean genuine in- sanity with consistent manifestations and de- velopment) there is an appearance of apathy and stupor such as this man, in our opinion, simulates. And as a general answer to the questions submitted to us by the counsel for the peti- tioner we wish to say that our opinion in this case is derived from a study of the behavior of the petitioner, of our own personal tests and observations and of the evidence given incourt, taken together and not bated upon auy single fact, kind of evidence or line of reasoning. We will very cheerfully, however, submit any fur- ther facts in our power which will be of service to the court or petitioner's counsel. Instead of answering the questions seriatim we prefer to answer certain groups covering certain general topics. many of the questions nppearing to us to be irrelevant and immaterial tothe determination of the existence of in- sanity. AS TO THE QUESTIONS RELATIVE To FILTH, ETC. ‘The absence of filth and untidiness and smearing with fecal matter goes to show that | there is no element of dementia in the case or that the patient is acting under any determin- ing delusions. THE MATTER OF THE DISCOLORED PAPER. The red paper, which was discovered in peti- was examined by Dr. W. M. Mew of the army medical museum, who investigated the condition of the urine and fwces. It was upon information derived from him that we | made the statement in our report that the solid | and liquid contents of the pail in which the paper was found were free from aniline. Alarge number of questions are asked us tioner's | with regard to our method of examining the prisoner. In answer to all of them we would say that we applied the tests and made the ex- |aminations which we considered necessary in | the case, and we believe that our examinations EDWARD DWYER. possicians’ preseript ‘ould not get cured.

In regard to the general subject of taking food and whether the petitioner was influenced by his alleged delusions, it would appear to us from all the evidence and_ from his bodily con- dition that he managed to obtain a sufficient | amount of nourishment to keep his body ina fair condition, id we are impressed with the fact the > time did he suffer or in reality live up to his allegations that he was poisoned. So far as refusing food from one person and taking it from another it would appear that he was inconsistent, for he ate food brought by his mother when he declared that she was one of his enemies, and it certainly is proved, we think, that at the time when certain witnesses | j testitied that he did not eat he was really taking nourishment at night. We, moreover, believe that while one person may have greater tact in inducing an insane person to take food than another, yet the rule is that insane persons who ave a delusion about food refuse and abstain to receive it from any one. MUSCULAR TESTS. In the display of muscular power we were! impressed by the fact that while apparently | making an effort he did not seriously do so. and when under the influence of fear, before he | had taken sufficient ether to bring about the first stage of violence, he manifested bis real muscular force in a struggle. occurred when we attempted to give him | nitrous oxide gas. ANESTHESIA. With reference to the questions about the administration of ether we would say that it | was attended with the ordinary demonstrations | of mental and muscular excitement commonly seen in healthy and sane persons.

We do not attach much significance or im- portance tothe amount of tobacco consumed, except that we believe that it certainly made up in some measure for the alleged loss of sleep =a desire for food. PULSE. : Aw to the importance attached to the con tion of the pulse and the behavior of the indi- vidual when startling evidence was introduced in his presence or when he was reminded of his position, we would say that we attach very lit- tie weight to variationsin the pulse as test for the determination of feigned insanity, and in making this statement we believe that we are in accord with all modern authorities. MRREDITY. In reference to the question of the sanity of the father we would say, as supplementary to our previous report, that the law is that ac- quired mental defects and acquired insanities occurring in persons who reach mature life are not transmitted. cLassr¥icatioy. With reference to the questions bearing upon the classification of insanity and the form of insanity which this prisoner is alleged to have we would say that the attempt to answer such questions would lead usinto a very long cusajon, which we believe would be in no way of service to the court. It is sufficient to say that we do not believe that from the manifests- tions testified toa diagnosis of that form of | insanity known as paranoia, of Krafft-Ebing and his followers, is possible; nor can he be said to be in a condition of dementia or mono- ‘Attax McLaxe Haxtitox, Jonx B.

The news paragraph in yesterday's Sram stating that there ise general movement on foot among the clerks of the executive depart- ments to get up a monster petition addressed to President Cleveland asking him to extend the civil service rules so that the chiefs of bureaus and divisions in the several departments may be included in the classified service is the subject of several com: munications which have been sent to Tui , under the nom de plume of “A writes: “Permit me to say that if any such move is made it will come from the chiefs them selves.

I have no doubt that such will be the conclusion of those who are trying to engineer the alleged general movement to get up a monster petition to President Cleveland asking to have the civil service rules extended so as to include chiefs of bureaus and divisions. “I do not believe one clerk out of twenty will sign such petition. I do not believe they ought to, but, without attempting any discussion of what ought or ought not to be, the gentlemen interested in the alleged ‘movement’ had just as well come gracefully to the conclusion that the party coming into’ power next month is going to fill those offices, or practically all of them: “If some future reformer will inaugurate a movement seeking to declare all those places vacant and providing that they be filled by competitive examinations from the whole clerieal force in the respective bureaus, then the clerks might take a lively interest in the business, but the gentlemen interested | can rest assured that they are not going to play the part of raking the chestnuts out of the fire just in the present attitude of matters. “Such, at least, is the belief of one.” pars -e- ALONG THE WHARV Engineer Moore, Pilot Richards, Mate Posey and Steward Harris, who carried the River [left that | and did not feel it. ~ | charge of Capt.

She will run along the James for a period of forty davs, and perhaps longer. There is ving her place with a new palace steamer on.the River View route, while the new John W. Thompson will serve’ as an auxiliary craft, It is thought that the proposition to put the steamer W. W. Coit in commission as a regular Potomac river carrier will take on definite shape. The idea is to run her on a night route from Washington to all river landings as far down as Nomini, Leonardtown and Saint Mary's, Breton's bay and Saint Clement's bay points. Itis said that William Lucket, late of the Bay Ridge steamer Columbia, wili go as her captain, and that Oscar Dolman, late captain of the steamer George Law. will go in her as pilot.

She will resume her route in a few days. All signs point to a lively and vigorous steam- boat season along the Potomac. Great. prepa- rations are being made by all the companies and several new craft have been added to the Potomac fleet. Some of the river menare com- plimentary enough to say that the awakening in. river life and improvement in river travel, both passenger and freight. is largely due to the publicity given to the marine affairs by Tux TAR.
