EAKINS’S TRIA Lawyer Frank Moss Pefore the Police Board as Complainant. Witnesses Testify to Disorderly Houses in His Preoinot. Mr, McFadden Moved to Jersey City on That Account, The trial of Capt. Joseph B. Eukins, who is charged with permitting disor- derly houses to flourish when he was in command of the Fifteenth Precinct, was set down peremptorily for 10 o'clock thi morning before the Police Commis aloners, ‘There are five charges against Capt. Eakins, neglect of duty, violation of the rules of the department, conduct unbe- coming an officer, conduct injurious to the peace and welfare of the city, and m@eneral inefMciency. Mr. Moss started in by offering in evidence the complaints made by the Parkhurst Society to Capt. Eakins last May regarding disorde-ly houses in hi precinct, as well as the weekly report of the Captain to the Chief of Police, im which he said that no such houses were in exiatence. These reports covered the period of Jan. 1, 186, to the present time, They showed that only three raids‘had been made by the police on disorderly houses during that time. “eNither of thene placea is mentioned in our specifications,” said Mr. Moss, in reply to Mr, Hess's objections. ‘The first witness, Stenographer James C. Pruden, of the Excise Board, pro- duced applications for six licenses granted during the past six months, Mr, Moss sald the soclety had com- plained to Capt. Eakins about these Places, alleging they were disorderly, but Pruden testified that the Captain had never protested against the granting of these Hoenses, although he had appeared by subpoena before the Excise Board to give information about them. pt. Eakins did tell the Excise that all the places mentioned were run respectably, except, perhaps, that of Joseph Gallagher, at 7% West Third street, and in that case Eakins said be would compel the propriétor to keep an orderly place. ‘These liceases were granted to Joseph Wallace, 121 West Third street; Joseph Gallagher, 78 West Third street; Henry Maas, &% University place; Wiillam Grau, 36 Sixth avenue; Henry Wolfers, 72 University place, and Eugene Louns- burg, 52 Bond street.

He had particularly observed @, 64 and 9 West Tenth etreet, and were disorderly houses, He frequently solicited by women in front of his own house, All three of these houses were open all night long and the noise of the carousing and piano playing was very annoying to the neighbors, “I spoke to the policeman on the beal but he told me he could do nothing, said Mr, McFadden, I went to see Capt.

The Husband a Heidelberg Mav and Oame from a Wealthy Prussian Family, LOST FORTUNES—WAS ROBBED., Left a Note Indoraing Ingersoll Laws and Churches i Called Fakes. mund Schmeidier, a graduate of Heldelberg University, the son of a once wealthy Prussian family, a man remark- able for his attainments and his know! edge of half a dozen different languages, attempted to kill his wife in their apart- ments in the house 210 East Eighty fourth street, early this morning. He sent a bullet into her head over the right temple as she lay beside him in bed. Then, in the belief that ho had succeeded in his murderous purpose, he turned the smoking revolver upon him. self and put a bullet in his brain, In his case death was almost instan- taneous. The wife, however, who war taken to the Presbyterian Hospital shortly after the shooting, tms a good chance of recovering. It was not jealousy, nor that his home fe was unpleasant, that prompted Schmeldler to murder and suicide, On the contrary, even as he shot at ti wife, he loved her. He had simply a: cided that life was not worth the living. His had been a failure. Fortures had slipped through his fingers, and friends had robbed him. ‘Without money and the means of ex- istence, he decided to end all with a,pis- tol, and so ttmt his wife should not suffer after he had gone, he determined that she should die with him. All day yestertay Schmeldier had brooded over the thoughts of suicide, Before that he had been in the best of health and spirits, but something hap- pened early in the morning to change his whole demeanor. Four weeks ago he had loaned a friend the sum of §200, almost all he had in the world, and the friend was to have paid it back yesterday afternoon. When Schmeldler left the house in the morn- ing he tolt his wife he would bring the money back with him, but he did not. Instead, he discovered that the false friend had fied to Europe with the money. He returned home despondent, and told his wife that he was tired of liv- ing longer. She tried to cheer him, but without success, ‘The couple occupted four rooms on the top floor of the flat-house mentioned, the bedroom, a narrow apartment, being in the rear. They retired at the usual hour last night and shortly afterwards the wife fell asleep. For several hours Schmeidler lay awake thinking over his whole life. He was great admirer of Ingersoll. When he made sure that his wife was sound asleep, he got out of bed, took a pencil and pad from his coat, and, with ..ur- der and suicide in his heart, sat down and wrote the following not NEW YORK, June 12, 189. ‘To the Coroner: unable to bear life's mineries any longer r beloved companion with me.

Having written the note, Schmetdier walked back to the bedside, first taking the revolver. As he lay beside his wife he leaned over and fired at her pointblank. Before her acream had died away he had shot himself. The shooting aroused all the other ten- ants, and the police were summoned At first Mra.
