LOOKS LIKE A CLEAR CASE Hero Is d Remarkable Talc of Romance, .Mystery and Crime That Is Stronger Than Motion, llccuuse It Is Ap parently All True. By the rnlted Press. New Tork, Oct. 31. Henry Frederick Schutzel lives in very humble surroundings above his little bake-shop In Brooklyn. Yet he may become the wealthiest man In the whole city. He Is about to bring suit for property in Texas amounting to nearly 70 square miles of Its territory, and worth at least $20,000,000. The story of his claim Is full of ro mance, mystery and crime. Mr. Schatzel'a uncle, John Peter Schatzel, played an Important part in the early history of Texas. He fought as a pri vate under Napoleon, was wounded at Austerlltz, became a paymaster, and after the disastrous Russian campaign of 1814 sailed from Antwerp to New Orleans. Here he went Into business, and at the end of 11 years sold out his interest for $40,000. Then he Joined Sam Houston In the revolt of Texas against Mexico, and was United States consul at Matamoras until the annexa tion of the Lone Star state In 1845. He Invested largely In real estate, buying up almost the entire counties of Nue ces, Cameron, Duval and Corryell. In 1847 he announced his intention of re turning to France, and drew out $42. 000 in gold from the New Orleans bank. Suspected He Was Poisoned. Before he could start he died sudden ly and mysteriously. It was suspected that he had been poisoned. He had no relative save a brother living on the Rhine in the town of Kreutznach, knowing nothing of John Peter's fate or the fortune that awaited himself. Two years passed. Then, according to the Texan luws, the unclaimed es tate was placed In the hands of admin istrators. From time to time they have sold portions of the property on quit claim deeds. Thus u large part of the estute has passed Into the hands of strangers. The town of Corpus Chrlstl and many smaller settlements have been built upon It. But the title of the purchasers is invalid as against the heirs, fur the statute of limitation does not debar them if they are abroad or If no efforts are made to And them. Twenty years ago Henry Schalzel came to this county and finally settled in Brooklyn. Hearing accidentally of the fortune left by his uncle, he went out to Texas and employed lawyers to prosecute his claim. As almost all the prominent people in the counties named are Interested he made no progress. He says hlB lawyers were brought off. Now he has placed the matter In the hands of u lawyer. J. Walsh, of Nassau street, this city. Mr. Walsh will soon start for Corpus Chrlstl. He Is san guine of success.
