lifeless Upon Betnrn ,
from Grocery Store.
BELIEVED MTTRDEB AST) SUICIDE
Two Revolvers on Floor Hear Hus
band Indicate He Shot Wife and
Then Himself.
COUPLE HAD OFTEN QUARRELED
When Phyllis Mcculloch, aged 8
rears, returned to her home at 2623
Case street from the grocery store
at noon she found her mother and
step-father dead. A bullet wound
through the right temple, of Mrs.
Alice Schwichtemberg. aged 35 rears,
and a similar wound through the
right temple of John Schwlchtem
berg, her husband, were the cause of
death. Two revolvera were found
beside the body of the latter.
The little girl told the following atory
to the polios officers: "Papa haa been
awful crosa lately and this noon tie came
from work and ha and mamma quar
reled because mamma said he flirted with
a neighbor woman."
"Papa sent me to the store to get a
bottle of milk and when I got back the
front door and the back door were locked.
I looked through tho dining room window
and saw papa lying on the floor. Then
I went to the back window and looked In
and mamma was lying near the kitcbeu
store. I broke the kitchen window with a
stick and went Into the front and got the
baby and took it next door.".
Phyllis bad come from the Webster
Street school about 11:30 and found her
parents quarreling. On her return to the
house from the store and upon breaking
through the window she had to pass the
bodies of her mother., and stepfather to
get to the babv.
Father Fires Snots.
In addition to the wound in the forehead
of the mother a wound was discovered
through her back. The father evidently
fired the shots, a about .the wound
through his right temple powder marks
were plainly, visible, , . -
The parents had quarreled frequently,
according to tha ' child, ' but ' her father
to her knowledge had never threatened
the life of the mother or had a revolver
In the 'house. Besides the body tf the
woman was a butcher knife.
Phyllis and the 4-month-old ' Behwleh
temberg baby. Can, are being cared for
temporarily by Mrs. J. , H. Hefte S621
Cass street, who rives next door. Mrs.
Oould Lavender, who oocup'es the sec
ond floor of the Schwichtemberg home,
was: In this house and heard the quarrel
and shots, but did not come downstal."s
until after the arrival of the officers.'
' Owned Thetr Owst Heme.
The property is owned by the Schwleh
temberg family, who bought the plaoe
about five months 'ago. ' They bad' lived
in Omaha for five years, coming here
from Red Oak, la. They have no rela
rived in town, according to Phyllis. The
mother of the dead woman lives in Iowa,
somewhere near Red Oak, the little girl
believes. According to the child, her
stepfather did not drink, but for tho
past year had displayed a bad temper
and constantly argued with his wife.
"He never told mama he would kill her,
but ' he said he would put her In Jail.
Yesterday he struck me."
. . Worries Over Baslaeas.
Schwichtemberg was a grain dealer at
the Board of Trade and had been worry
ing considerably of late over his business.
Phyllis said that she never saw. a revolver
In the house, but that her 'athor a day
or two ago eseertedhe was going to trade
his cornet for one, so he would be ready
if any burglars broke into the place. Iu
his .pocket was found an open box of
cartridges, while the two revolvers picked
up at his side were cheap 12-caliber weap
ons. Shots had been fired from both.

Only when Mr. Blendorf and C. L. Oould,
manager of the Ford local branch, proved
they were not newspaper reporters would
Mr. Ford let them in.
However, the auto motor genius is
very democratic,' even though he is shy
when reporters are around. After get-1

the Ford agency at Twentieth and Har

the work rooms and shook hands with
every mechanic He was a mechanlo
himself once, and always takes special
delight in nosing around the mechanical
part of his company's plants. ,
He also shook. hands with most of the
other employes of the local branch and
posed for a snapshot of himself and a
group of the workmen, taken by one of
the force. Then he walked back to the
depot.
Mr. Ford Is accompanied by his wife
and son, Kdsel. They came In over the
Northwestern at -10:15 a. m.-od left, at
1 p. m. over the Union Pacific, having
a private car.
The party was not scheduled to stop
off In Omaha, but did so In order to have

unto the Lord and He heard him

"I believe that Ood would stop mak

to Him out of his troubles."
At one point "Billy" dramatised his
contempt, and hatred of the devil.
"Think of the Saviour you've got," he
said, "npt- of" the devil.. Pshaw, the
devil!" and "Billy" spat cbntemptuously
on the' carpet.
