HORRIBLE CRIME RECALLED Particulars of the Murder of Old Peter Schooler. William J. Hunt, Accused by a Com. pansion of Committing the Deed, “Now Under Arrest. William J. Hunt, the young man who was arrested here yesterday and turned over to Sherif Kennedy of Stafford county, Va., on the charge of murder, as published in yes- terday’s Star, was taken to the county seat of Stafford county on a late train yes- terday afternoon. Since the murder of the old man, Peter Schooier, more than three years ago, Hunt has spent most of his time in this city. If guilty of the crime he is but one of those implicated, as from the admissions of a former companion, al- so under arrest, two, if no more, were en- gaxed in it. It appears that a short time before the murder was committed Schooler had drawn between $500 and $1,000 from bank, intend- ing to build a house, and this fact was generally known. The night of Friday, December 14, the horrible butchery of the old _man-occurred, and Sunday afternoon following his dead body, with the head severed from it, was found in his house. While nobody other than the murderers witnessed the affair, the surroundings in- dicated that robbery was the motive, for the money was gone. Murderer Used an Ax. It is believed that the murderers called at the house some time after dark, and that when the old man answered a knock on the door, one of them dealt him a blow with an ax, knocking him down. Circumstances in- dicated, also, that he was then dragged to the yard, and left, where a pool of blood was afterward found. While the old man was there, helpless, the house was robbed, and the perpetrators, on their way out, dis- covering that their victim was not yet dead, dragged him back into the house and severed his head with the weapon used io inflict the first blow. Because of the cold weather the body was well preserved when the ghastly find Was made. Suspicion pointed toward the young man now under arrest, and he was arraigned under the accusation, but, for lack of evidence, the charge was nolle prossed. An uncle of Hunt's, named Childs, while not actually suspected by the authorities, was frequently mentioned in connection with the case, and a few days ago he died. Robert Way's Revelation. Robert Way, a young man who had been a companion of Hunt's, and who bore about the same reputation as the other, was also mentioned in connection with the deed, and the arrest yesterday is the re- sult of a statement made by Way. Some days after Childs was buried, his death was being discussed, and the murder of Schooler was mentioned. “Childs is dead, and he may be in h- said Way, “but he never killed old ‘Pete’ Schooler.”” “How do you know he didn’t kill him?”, he was asked. “Because I was there,’ phatic response. “Did you kill him?” ‘No.”” ‘Then who did?’ “Will Hunt.” Way repeated this declaration, and said he helped Hunt to kill the old man. Way was thereupon arrested on the serious charge of murder, and the sheriff immediately set out to capture Hunt as his accomplice. Hunt Was Surprised. When arrested yesterday afternoon Hunt was not told why he was wanted until he reached headquarters, and then he was very much surprised and a trifle fright- ened. He was told of what his former com- panion (Way) had stated, but he declared there was not a word of truth in it. While he had led a reckless life, and had not done right, he said, he had no knowledge of the killing of the old man. So far as he was concerned, he said, he was innocent, and he would return with the sheriff with- out the formality of a requisition.

The prevailing hot weather has acted as an irresistible tempter to the small boy to disport himself in the more or less briny waters of the Potomac, without the handi- cap of a bathing suit. In consequence, sev- eral cases of indecent exposure have been detailed in the Police Court. Howard Freeman, an unusually intelli- gent colored lad, was arrested yesterday for bathing in the river, near the 7th street wharf, clad only in the raiment with which Dame Nature had provided. “There were about fifty white boys swim- ming there,” said Howard, “and I was the only one caught. I asked several peonle before I went in and they said it was all right to swim there.” “I'll accept your personal bonds,” plied the court, “but don’t do it again.” For bathing in the Eastern branch in full view of the Benning bridge Harry Gallatin, Charles Breslin and Charles Rankin were arrested. Each of them paid $2 into the ecffers of the District. —_+—__ Ps To San Francisco, Cal., $31.75 vin Pennsylvania Reilroad.

The members of the latter took the morning and aftcrnoon boats and a larg crowd went down to enjoy the cool breezes and the many amusements to be found at this popular resort. The Pentz will leave this evening at 6:30 o'clock. The ccmmittee in charge of the excursion has obtained exclusive control of boat and grounds and everything that could add to the enjoymeat of those who make the trip will be looked after by it. The regular runs of the Macalester to Indian Head will be made tomorrow and Saturday nights. The sail down the Po- tomac, the music on the boat and grounds of Marshall Hall offer attractions that no other resort or trip can equal. If those who go lown on the early boats care to, they may take the steamer and make the additional run to the “Head” without extra cost. Or if the 6:30 boat Is taken, an op- portunity is afforded te roam over the grounds at the “Hall” and take the steam- er on her return trip. All the bicycles are carried free. The barber shop on the boat is handy for the gentlemen. The Macal- ester as usual at 6:20, The hot weather of the past two or three days has made every one long for cooling breezes, and crowds are now going down the river daily. The Wednesday trips of the steamer Semel J. Pentz always have been very popular, and this year their pop- ularity seems to be on the increase. Yes- terday all the trips of the Pentz were well crowded, and during the day a throng of 2,200 persons visited the View. a SUSTAINED FATAL INJURY. Thomas Stenecke Thrown From His Wheel, Causing His Death. Thomas Stenecke, who lived at No. 309 K street northwest, met with a fatal acci- dent while riding his bicycle near 7th and Massachusetts avenue, about noon yester- day. The unfortunate man did not at first appear to have received severe injuries, and was able to walk home after his mis- hap. Just how the accident happened is not known, but he was in some way thrown from his wheel, and his head struck against the pavement. He was picked up and taken to How's drug store, corner of 7th and 1 streets, where he received medical aid. When the doctor was through, the in- jured man declined further assistance, and, as stated, walked home. Then Dr. Miller, the family physician, was calied and he found that he was much more seriously hurt than had been supposed. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon he became very much worse, and before 4 o'clock he was dead. The attending physician said that hemor- rhage of the brain had caused death. A report of the occurrence was made to the police, but as the dead man had been at- tended by a physician subsequent to the accident the case was not referred to the coroner. —_.

A short, thick-set Chinaman called at police headquarters yesterday afternoon. When he reached the door he made known his presence by shouting: “Hello, captain.” ‘Then he walked across the room, slapped Clerk Mattingly on the shouider, in a de- cldedly familiar way, and said: “I want another commit.” “For what?” inquired the clerk. “Fireclackers,” was the response, here's the name.” Just then a photographer appeared to get a photograph of the office, and the China- man, fearing his picture was going to be taken .for some “Mellican” reason un- known to him, ran into Major Moore's pri- vate office, and remained until the snap- shot man had departed. ——__—_ to Milwaukee, B. and 0.

Belief That a Ghagge Will Be Made Soon—A Sucqessfnl Lawn Fete —Sunday School Picnic. It is the impression among many of those who are taking an interest in the matter that there will be a change in the Anacos- tia post office In a very short time. This is not due to any opposition to Postmaster Tolson, but is solely because, as is alleged, Representative Mudd of Maryland has re- cently manifested great interest in the sub- Ject, and has urged the name of Mr. Geo. F. Pyles for the place. Just why Mr. Mudd should feel that the Anacostia office is a part of his constituency has not been de- veloped. It_is known, however, that Mr. Mudd and Mr.Pyles have long been friends, and the latter, though a resident of the District, 1s a large property owner in Mr. Mudd’s home county. Mr. Pyles, it is conceded, is well quali- fied for the position, he having been post- taster for four years previous to the ap- pointment of Postmaster Tolson. Both gen- tlemen named are engaged extensively in business. As the law, it is understood, requires the occupant of a presidential post office to devote all of his or her time to the dutics of the position, Mr. Pyles, it is said, has made arrangements, if appointed to transfer all his present interests to other parties. Recently, also, Mr. Pyles erected a very commodious brick building, which, it is believed, could be easily adapted to post office uses. At present the office is in a building attached to a lumber yard. A most successful and largely attended lawn fete was given in Anacostia last evening, on the handstme grounds of Mr. H. A. Linger on Harrison street extended. It was for the benefit of the Epworth League of Anacostia M. E. Church. The illuminations and decorations were perfect, and hundreds of persons from every part of the District were present. - The committees in charge were constl- tuted as follows: Committee of arrangements—Arthur B. Suit, chairman; Chas. Linger, Geo. King, John Fort, Russel Bowen, Geo. Thomas, Maurice Haines, Geo. Shoomaker, Albert Cator, Watson Isaac, Sewel Fort,’ Rev. C. O. Isaac, Frank McLain.

To the Editor «f The Evening Star: I note in The Star that the Young Men's Democratic Clubs in this city intend to celebrate the 12st anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on the coming Feurth of July. As the 12ist anniversary occurred July 4, 1896, it ought to have been celebrated then, but, better late than never, and I suggest that the I2Ist and 122d anniversaries might be celebrated to- gether on the same day, to make up for the deficiency.
