SCHMIDT, Miss Eva

MURDER AND SUICIDE VERDICT ~ Coroner Renders Decision In Deaths of Sailor and Girl.
While no statements would be made by the parents of either Eva Schmidt, 19 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Schmidt, of Eastern avenue, opposite the Oaklawn Cemetery, nor John Sherlock Copper of the same age, a sailor in the Navy, who apparently carried out a suicide pact, Monday evening, it is thought that the opposition to their contemplated marriage on the part of the girl's parents  was the motive for the tragedy.  After making an investigation, Coroner William T. Riley, of the Central District gave a verdict of death as a result of bullet wound inflicted by John Sherlock Copper, in the case of Miss Schmidt, while in the case of Copper a verdict of death by suicide was given.  Coroner Riley deemed an inquest unnecessary. The desire of the two sweethearts, as expressed in the note, "Bury  us together, Sherlock and Eva", found several hours after the double suicide, will not be granted. The funeral of Copper will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of his parents and will be military in character. Burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery.  The funeral of the girl will be held Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock. High Mass will be celebrated at 9 o'clock in Sacred Heart Catholic Church.  She wll also be buried in Oaklawn.

SCHNEIDER, Henry N.

Henry N. Schneider, shoe mercdhant, died at his home on Maple street at 2½ o'clock Thursday morning, aged 67 years. He was born in Germany and came to Frostburg in 1856. After several years of mine-work he learned shoemaking, later combined with the mrecantile phase of the business. He was a quiet, good, exemplary citizen, always obliging and courteous to all. A long-time memer of Salem Reformed Church, his body will be buried from the famiy home to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon under auspices of that Church and Order of the Shield of Honor. Mr. Schneider's death is probably the most pathetic outcome of the terrible accident about a month ago when his daughter-Miss Jennie, one of four young ladies, was killled on the Western Maryland extension. He was not then well, and the shock precipitated a condition which induced the family to send him to Baltimore. Rev. G.E. Metger, his pastor, accompanied him, and a brief examination developed cancer of the liver as his trouble. They returned home next day, Mr. Schneider suffering intensely all the way. Ten hours later he died. Wife, two daughters and five sons are bereaved - Mrs. Anna Miller, Miss Minnine, Alvin and Melvin, of this place; John of West Va.; Conrad F. of Palmyra, Pa., and  Oscar, of Orlando, Florida.
