STRANGLERS; OF VIENNA.
Man and Wife Whose Business and Plea-
sure were to kill.
Knowu to have Murdered Four Girls, to
Have Tried to Murder Two Others,
and to Have Plotted for the Lives of
SevenMore—EachVictiut Prayed with
Before the Altai., Thou Choked to Death
by the Man -while the Wife Meld her
!lauds—a Remarkable Trial Before au
Audience Composed of Diplomatists,
Generals. and Ladies of the Imperial
Court.
Last month Franz Schneider and his wife,
Rosalie, were condemned to death by the
Criminal Court in Vienna. With the
sentencing ot both to be hanged came the
close of the most remarkable criminal trials
in the records of Austrian justice.
At the beginning of the trial the prisoners
were known to have murdered four young
women, to have planned and to have at-
tempted to murder two others, and to have
spared seven or eight mote only because the
young women refused to be lured to their
death. Although Schneider is a common
man and his wife is a common woman, and
although their victims were simple and
friendless servant girls few State cases in
the empire have been conducted under more
impressive circumstances than those sur-
rounding the trial of the Schneiders.
Princes, diplomatists, Generals, members of
Parliament, high officials, and women from
the court society of Franz Joseph's capital
crowded the court room daily, The stolid
brutality of Schneider and the fiendishness
of his wife were exhibited, moreover, under
the dramatic light of Austrian procedare—
the Judges, in their robes, the witnesses
swearing with the uplifted hand before the
illuminated crucifix, and the prisoners
guarded by soldiers in the uniform of the
imperial army.
So intense was the interest of the thou-
sand spectators that at recesses usually not
one of them left the hall ; all ate and drank
in their seats rather than risk losing a few
words of the testimony, In Austria the
daily record of the trial was published by
the newspapers verbatim, and columns were
telegraphed at the close of each day's pro-
ceedings to London, Berlin, and Paris.
THE SCHNEIDERS.
In the conspiracy to outrage, kill, and
rob, Franz Schneider was the force and
Rosalie Schneider was the brains. "You
did the plotting," the presiding Judge said
to the wife, "and he was your throttling
machine." and
is 5 feet 7 inches tall
and powerfully built. He has sunken
cheeks, high -bones, a sallow skin, a red
moustache, and a shock of sandy hair. He
is 35 years old. His wife, six years his
senior, is small, thin, fair-haired, and sharp-
eyed. She was handsome before her mar-
riage to Schneider in 1882, but work and
dissipation have hardened her face. Both
were engaged in numerous swindling
schemes before they bit upon the plan of
raising money by killing maid -servants.
Schneider had passed several terms in prison
for theft.
DISCOVERY OF THEIR CRIME.
In May, June, and July of last year it
was reported to the Vienna police that sea•
eral girls had disappeared after being seen
with men in the Dreifohren or Haspen woods
near New Lengbach. A man had appeared
at employment agencies to engage eaade
take places in New Lengbach.,-always insist-
ing that they shout &la ing some of their bltg-
gage at (r ;..e. :Clie experienced girls became
ay of all offers from New Lengbach. All was
rumor, however, and nothing was known
until. July 23. On that day Marie Stoiber,
a factory girl, while wandering in the under-
brush stumbled upon the dead body of a
woman stripped to the chemise. A straw
hat trimmed with roses lay half under the
right shoulder. On July 24 this discovery
was announced in the newppapers and Karl
Hornung, a journeyman goldsmith, went to
Now Lengbach, and identified the body as
that of Marie Hottwanger, his betrothed,
engaged three weeks earlier to take a place
in the suburbs, and not seen alive afterward.
Ho also
described
the appearance of the
man and woman with whom he had seen her
leaving the city for her new home. At the
same time Annie Djuris, a maid servant,
gavea similar description ofa man who had
lured her into the suburbs with promises of
a place with a Baroness in New Lengbach.
The reading of the published story of the
Djuris girl reminded a man who had seen
her witir a man at New Lengbach on the
evening of the assault that her companion
resembleda certain coachman in the neigh-
borhood. The police found the coachinan
to be honest. He had, however, a brother
of doubtful character. This brother was
Franz Schneider, living at the time with
his wife at 28 Rudolphs gasse under the
name of Ferdinand Niedler. This brother
and his wife were arrested, clothing of
murdered girls was found in their posses-
sion and by the confession of ' each,
made in an effort to throw all the
burden of guilt on the other, the State
was enabled to draw from them the true
story of a series of atrocious crimes which
in recent times only Jack the Ripper has
equalled.
OPENING OF THE TRIAL.
The indictment against the Schneiders '
charged them with the murders of Rosalie
Kleinrath, MarieEottwanger, atnd Vincenzie
Zoufar. During the proceedings the presid-
ing Judge accused them of killing an uii
known girl, seen last in their company in
the woods where all their crimes were com-
mitted. The indictment charged them also
with attempting to murder Annie Djuris
and Jchanna Stoiber, and with having at-
tempted to lure Mathilde Uhlaner, Marie
Seif, Katherina Watza, Martine Rrounader,
and three other maid servants, described
but not named, to their destruction.
Stoiber was attacked on May 26 and Djuris
on June 1, but were not killed, as Schneider
remarked in court, because he " had not
then got his hand in."
DEATH OF ROSALIE KLENRATII.
On the first two days of the trial the
court devoted its attention to the murder of
Rosalie Kleinrath, on June 4. She was but
18 years old, and had left her country home
but a few days before. Schneider's wife
met her in the street and offered her a place
with a Countess in Klosternenburg. She
induced the girl to pack up all her clothes
in a satchel, to put in her pocket her few
dollars saved, and to accompany Schneider
and herself to the Haspen Weide. The
party stopped at a restaurant that Schneider
might nurse his courage with wine. Then
hie wife led Kleinrath to a chapel, where
both prayed.
PRAYER BEFORE MURDER,
this refinement of
Just why cruelty was
introduced in the otherwise purely brutal
plan was not satisfactorily explained. In
all the known murders, however, it was ob-
served with care. .Then the trio wandered
about in the darkest part of the woods until
Schneider turned suddenly on the girl.
"I tripped her," he said, " and my wife
put a bottle of poison to her nose. She
died and we stripped off her clothes, took
her money and papers, and buried her under
the leaves and mould," Kleinrath's body
was found by the police after the arrest of
the Schneiders. It had been outraged at
the time of the murder.
Judges in criminal trials fn Austria have
perogatives and customs unknown in Cana-
da. The presiding Judge in the Schneider
trial ridiculed Schneider's statement, as he
ridiculed the wife's statement that her
husband strangled Kleinrath without help
'rom her.
SCHNEIDER MANES .A CONFESSION.
Then came the most interesting moment
of the trial. The President said in a con-
fidential way :
"You have both described how things
were done. Both accounts cannot be true.
Now, . I will tell you how. i think it was
done. Yon both led your victim into the
wood. Schneider threw the girl, as he told,
us, by putting his foot before hers ; then
both of you threw yourselves upon her ;
the woman held her hands or arms, and
Schneider strangled her."
There was a pause after this, then some
more questioning from -the imperial counsel,
then a remark of the counsel for the defence,
and then another pause. After this the
President continued :
"And now, Schneider, say the truth for
once. Was it not just as I said ?"
Schneider did not answer, but looked sul-
lenly to the ground ; then the President
catching his eye, and in an insinuating voice
said:
"Come now, be candid. It was so, was
it not? Say yes. Out with it, there !"
Schneider grew purple and white by turns,
his chest heaved, and he rose and sank back
in his chair. Suddenly he shouted so that
the court room rang with his words :
" Yes, yes ; so it was. I deny it no long-
er. She held the girls' hands and I throttled
them to death."
A CAROUSAL AFTER THE DEATH.
After the Court had hoard how the under-
clothes stripped from Kleinrath had been
put on by Rosalie Schneider, and how the
couple had celebrated their deed in fine
style by carousing at a saloon in the out-
skirts of the woods, three pretty little girls
in white hoods and a boy of 13
were called. The story they had to
tell was brief, but tragic. They were in
the woods gathering wild stawberries one
beautiful afternoon last summer, and were
terribly frightened by hearing the shrinks
of a dying woman. The time, plane, and
date corresponded with those of the Haspen
Woods murder. The presiding Judge sited
the boy why, when he heard the shrieks, he
did not go to tbeplace from which they pro-
ceeded to see what was happening.
" Is was in. a dark part of the forest," the
little fellow answered, " and we were
afraid."
Depraved as the two prisoners are, they
were moved when the aged parents of the
girlKleinrath were examined and when the
box containing her skull and belongings
was opened. The mother asked for the fair
plaits from the head of her murdered daugh-
ter as a remembrance—a request which
was not refused. Then followed another
dramatic scene, the examination of a girl of
twelve and a boy of ten who had heard a
woman's cries in the wood which began at
about a hundred yards from their house.
They wero pitable screams of " For Jesus,
Mary, and Joseph's sake help ! Help !
Hlifeelp. !" The cries were those of the girl
K.lci :.•atli, struggling desperately for her
TILE STRANGLING OF MARIE HOTTWANOER.
The strangling of Kleinrath whetted the
unnatural appetite of the Schneider woman
tor crime. She gave up her place as cook
in the household of Baron Falk and began
devoting herself exclusively to finding vic-
tims for her husband. She went from ser-
vants' agency to agency daily, looking for
girls of sufficient comeliness to suit her hus-
band, and with good enough clothes to suit
her. After frightening off several girls by
her requirement that they should bring all
their belongings with them through the
lonely woods toward New Lengbach, she
eventually engaged iriarie Hottwanger at
an agency without stipulating that she roust
bring all her property
with
her.
The case
of Hottwanger succeeded that of Kleinrath
in the consideration of the Court.
She was pretty, well dressed, and refused
to accept an offer of less than $12 a month.
The Schneider woman and she metSchltei-
der in the street before the agency and
started on the way to New Lengbach. They
stopped at the saloon near the chapel in the
woods. Schneider drank a quart of wine
and was becoming somewhat intoxicated
when roused by bis wife's almonition
" Here, here, my man, keep sober, so
as to he ready for the work we have on
hand."
AGAIN PRAYER BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER.
Schneider rose and told his wife and Hott-
wanger to go to the chapel and pray. Be-
fore the altar the murderess and her victim
knelt for ten minutes. Then they returned
to Schneider, who waited for them outside,
and all three started through the woods.
They wandered for an hour until they came
to a secluded spot about 5 o'clock in the
afternoon.
" L,ok sharp, and finish the job at once,"
the Schneider woman whispered several
times to her husband ; but he hesitated.
At the lonely spot all three sat down.
Suddenly the Schneider woman cried out :
Now make an end of it !" and caught
the girl by the wrists, twisting her arms
back over her head. In an instant Schnei-
der had his right hand on Hottwanger's
throat and his left hand over her mouth.
She was strangled to death almost without
a sound. Schneider maltreated her body
and his wife stripped off her clothes and did
then up in a bundle. Both dog a shallow
trench in the leaves and mould, dumped
in the dead girl, and scattered leaves and
twigs above. The Schneider woman had
found a few dollars in the girls pocket, and
with them they had a carousal at a tavern
in New Lengbach. Schneider joked with
the waiters, and his wife joined him in a
general merrymaking.
FOURTH DAY OF THE TRIAL.
At the fourth day of the great trial the
rush for places was greater than ever. So
crowded was the lofty, spacious court room
when the case was resumed that the fashion.
ably dressed ladies, who, from the first,
ormed a great part of the audience, had
literally to fight for their places. One was
so severely crushed that she screamed aloud
for help and several fainted.
Schneider appeared in a different suit
from that which he wore at the previous,
sittings and it transpired from the evidence
that those were the clothes he wore on the
day that he perpetrated the murder of Vis-
cenzia Zoufar.
Immediately after the taking off of Hott-
a
waner the Schneider woman o a was again on
the search for new victiins.a'
D Ily she was
at some servants' agency but for some time
she was unsuccessful. Either the girl offer-
ed to her was too plain or too poor, or the
Schneider woman's appearance was too for -
ridding for the girl who was comely or not
well dressed enough to suit her. The conse-
quent delay lasted until after the discov-
ery of Hottwanger's body on July 23.
VICTIMS BECOME. SCARCER:
One of the witnesses was a maid whom she
tried to engage, offering her $12 a month as
the place was a lonely villa in a wood.
When she mentioned the part of the Coun-
try where it was situated, by the owner of
the office said :
" You won't get many girls to • go with
you there,. for a murdered girl was found in
the wood a few days ago, and they will be
shy of the place."
The maid also knew of the finding of a
body in the wood, and would not go. -She
gays she noticed that the Schneider woman
shuddered, but at the same time expressed
wonder that people could be so cruel as to
kill a poor girl.
In a second office the Schneider woman
found two girls to choose from. She select-
ed Vincenzia Zoufar, who was dressed in a
cream -colored gown, a bonnet with feathers,
wore gloves, and had a neat parasol. This
girl's landlady described her as an elegant
girl and a thorough cook. She had saved
more than $100 in her last place, and had a
lottery bond worth $75, a gold watch and
chain, a large basket -trunk full of good
clothes, and some ready money. She had
been on a pious pilgrimage to Moravia, from
which she returned the day she found her
death. The morning after she left with the
Schneider woman a telegram came asking
the landlady to give up all her things to the
woman who,liad been there the day before.
At noon the Schneider woman came and
took the basket -trunk, a smaller trunk, and
several parcels away. The presiding Judge
drew the female prisoner's attention to her
own cunning. She had discovered that
telegrams were safer than letters, and yet
she pretended to have done everything at
the will of a man who cannot read or write,
and therefore has no clear perception as to
letters and telegrams. The people were
next called who saw the two with the girl
until they ultimately disappeared in the
wood.
STRANGULATION OF VL\'CE1 ZIA ZOUFAR.
Zoufar's landlady noticed that while the
Schneiderwoman was talking with the girl
she asked how much money she had, and
told her she must go through a forest to her
new place in a Countess's villa. The girl
did not heed the landlady's warning, but
put her savings and valuable papers in her
pocket, and at 2 P. M. started out for New
Lengbach. The women stopped at the
saloon near the chapel. Here Schneider was
introduced to Zoufar as the Countess's
porterand the three drank together.
Schneider was exceptionally merry, joked
and laughed with a party at the next table,
and apparently was loath to go. He waited
on the chapel steps while the women offered
their prayers before the Virgin's figure, and
then led them a long, circuitous way under
the trees.
Zoufer was in high spirits and
said repeatedly to the Schneider woman :
" Yon don't know how grateful I am to you
for giving me a place in such a beautiful
neighborhood."
The girl was tired with walking at 7
o'clock and whispered to the murderess
"This fellow must be drunk to lead us
around this way."
MRS SCHNEIDER'S I1A$TE TO ICILL.
Those were her last words. Tho Schneid-
er woman at once said to her husband :
" Get to work, you idiot, and end this
nonsense."
Schneider turned on Zoufar lilte a flash,
tripped her and fell on her, and, while his
wife held fast her hands, throttled her to
death. After he had abused the dead body
his wife stripped of the clothes tore up the
worthless papers, and pat the valuable ones
ie her pocket. The body was covered as the
others had. been. It was found by the police
on Nov. 7. As usual, the Schneider's went
to a saloon after the strangling and ate and
drank and made merry.
Two days after having secured Zoufar's
clothes and pawned them the Schneider
woman resumed her visits at the servants
agencies and attempted to lure to fictitious
places in households near Now Lengbach,
Mathilde Uhlaner, Katharine Wnitza,
Martine Braunader and three other maid
servants, and her eagerness for more victims
was rendered e red 'r
rreffectnal only by the arrest
of her and her husband. Shortly after her
arrest she tried to kill herself by jumping
from a third story prison window to the
flagged court yard. She injured herself
only slightly.
BOTH SENTENCED TO BE HANGED.
On Jan. 29 the public prosecutor and the
lawyers for Schneider and his wife made
their final addresses to the jury, which re-
tired for au hour and a half aucl returned
with a verdict of guilty against both arison-
ers. After hearing the verdict Rosalie
Schneider sprang to her feet and, pointing to
her husband, screamed:
"grow, now, let him tell thewholetruth!"
The presiding Judge sternly intervened,
pointing out that the evidence was now
closed. Schneider made no reply to his
wife's appeal.
The Judges retired to consider what sen-
tence'should be passed, but were gone only
ten minutes. During their absence both
prisoners covered their faces with their
hands and remained motionless in an agony
of suspense. So intensely excited was the
audience that nearly every one stood up
while sentence was being pronounced.
Rosalie gave a last appealing glance at
her husband, but received no response. In
impressive tones the presiding Judge then,
in the name of his i:nperial Majesty, passed
sentence of death upon both prisoners, inti-
mating that the woman would be hanged
first.
Children's Faults.
There are times when it is wiser for the
parent to ignore some mood on the child's
part. The part of the parent should be in
ever seeking the wise opportunity to im-
press the child with the virtue that is the
reverse of some fault it falls into. Children
pass through various phases, and some
dragon of a fault that one has been worry-
ing over and planning against, suddenly
vanishes into thin air, and is no more.
Sometimes one fixes a fault by noticing it
too much. It becomes an expression of
nervousness. The child repeats the fault
through an inability to pass over it. It
becomes like a hard word in the spelling -
book that he has met betore. He recognizes
the word without knowing its name, and at
the same moment remembers his struggles
with it, and the painful impression fills him
with nervousness; his mind becomes con-
fused, and he cannot control his thought.
It is wise with a fault, as with the hard
word, to let ft go to escape it. Omit the
hard word ; avoid anything to excite the
habitual fault. Presently the child forgets
the fault. It may be said that injudicious.
parents often create their children's faults.

Ah, many's the hour I've turnedit and grunt-

While nuts wore to gather and squirrels to be

There was always an as or scythe to be
