he staggered out of tho house and
went reeling down the roadway townrd

wns In the house on this second visit,
Hull, Mm. (letz said, acted mote fool
ishly than before. Ho wore n pair of
goggles which ho didn't have with him
on his earlier visit and ho made ludic
rous attempts to have them hold to

dollar bills nnd a few dimes nnd
nickels nnd threw forty cents towards
her to recompense her for her tiouble.
On his pi lor visit be nppoatod to have
no money.
WAS IN 1LL-HPMOR.
Leaving Cletz's house, Hull went to
Stnples' hotel, his second visit theie.
This was nhout .1 o'clock, nn hour or so
after lenvlng there in the company of
Schoonnvcr. He was In 111 humor
when ho stnggered Into tho ban 00111.
There weie a half dozen men In the
place nnd they were given 11 good
sized scaie by Hull, who pulled his big
hunting knife fiom his pocket nnd
opening It hurled It Into a coiner of tho
loom, meanwhile dancing lound nhout
In Indian fashion. He asked Rarten
der Pi liner for a chink nnil was given
sonic cider. He demanded nnother
drink, but was denied It. Ho then
went out on the hotel porch, where he
began to doze. Kinployes fiom Rmciv
Lee's livery at Caihondale happened
nlong. This livery was a place whore
he used to fiequent. The men lecog
nlzed him nnd appi eclating his condi
tion in god hlni to accompany them
home. Hull was In a einnky mood,
but finally ho yielded to them and was
helped nloft the hay rigging they weie
driving.
The men nt the hotel observed the
blood stains on Hull's shut, but he
vouchsafed no explanation, and his
manner did not Invite any conversation.
As stated In yesterday's Tilhunc,
Hull icached homo eaily Thiusriay
moinlng, but said nothing about where
he had been. Tho watch, supposedly
Schoonovei's, he had with him. hut ho
was as silent about how It came Into
hl possession ns he was about his
movements the preceding clay.
Ho left home e.uly In the morning on
Thursdnv. and when nsked by his
mother where he was going, he an
svvc led rudely: "To h 1, I guess."
WHRRi: RODY WAS FOl'ND.
The spot where Schoonover's decom
posed body was tound Is about five
hundted feet south of the Lake Lodotn
station, about fifty foot beyond the
railroad -switch that runs past the sta
tion. Jt is a wild spot. In the midst of
a clump of ttees. Where Sehoonover
lay Is not many more than tlftv feet
fiom the lailroad, but the undeibrusli
is so thick that one has to push his
vvny over the small, almost Impeicept
lble path that crosses tho ftpot where
th" dead man lay pi one on his back.
His limbs were sti etched to their full
trt length. One aim Is almost wound
about the small tiees, or hushes, along
the path nnd It Is hard to explain, or
even conceive, how one. If he would
fall limp, could get Into such a posi
tion. The body, as it lay, would IncU
cto that It was diugged theie, rather
than having fallen.
Tho dgl t of tho body was revolting
The ptoce.ises of decomposition caused
It to swell until the clothes weie almost
bursting at the peams. Tho llc.-di had
turned black, and Insects and v. 01 ms
swarmed all over tho remains. The
featuies could not be traced; In fact,
there was no face, the no.-,e, checks and
chin having sloughed away.
The body was found by Oeoige Wal
roth, of Waymatt, and a oung man
named Onrdner, fiom Scianton. For
seveial days there has been an unbear
nble stench in the vicinity of tho body,
nnd this, coupled with the fact that
Schoonovei'.s fi lends came to Wn.vmart
on Monday and lepoited him missing,
led to the se.uch lh.tr nded in locating
Schoonovei's icmalns.
rOCKRTS TUitNKD OCT.
Tie pockets of Schmuover's tl onsets
weie turned out, nnd his shoes anil
stockings were missing. A few feet
nway his spectacles weio found. One
frame was twisted, not bent or ctushod
as If It was tiampled on, but tathei as
if It was grasped ns In a struggle. In
the other diiectlon, as if thtowu ovet
Schoonovei's head, weie the cue for
Ills spectacles, an Odd Fellows' lodge
manual, a half-used box of cough
drops, a package of tobacco, and two
empty half-pint whiskey bottles. Those
wete inestimably the c ontents of
Schoonovei's pockets. His giny Fedoi.i
h.tt. with blood stains on the ilm and
band, lay n few feet fiom his head.
The Odd Fellows' manual contained
Sihoonovor'tf ceitldciite ot inembeiship
or his caul of admittance to Red
Jacket lodge, ot Factorj ville. Theie
was also tho unused coupon of a 10-

SPOKR OF A FHIHT.
On his way over to Cnibondale with
William Roy nnd a young man named
McCarthy, Hull said something about
having had a tight with some man
who picked 11 qu.inel with his (Hull's)
cousin. Hull also mumbled something
nhout having knocked tho other fel
low out. Hull continued In his nngry
mood during tho ride and taking of
fense nt some wi.nl that was passed,
he whipped out his hunting knife and
brandished It thteatenlngly. ha suc
ceeded, however, In wresting the knife
from Hull.
Hull has been considered of un
sound miqd of late, or he has been
committing nits that would Indleat"
that the carousing that he has been
carrying on for weeks hns affected
him mentally.
He was seen In Honesdale on Tues
cloy af this week, nnd ho was not only
seen theie, hut figured in nn esca
pade that Is characteristic of him.
Hull has n penchant, almost a tnn
nla, for Impersonating nn officer, nnd
he was tried on this very charge nt
the lecent session of criminal court
in this city. On Tuesday ot this week,
he went to tho homo of Mr. nnd Mts.

Intrusion, but Hull was Insistent nnd
tiled every means pos-lble to obtain
possession of tho child. When he
found he wns woisted, he diove away,
but returned later afoot on the same
mission.
In the meantime the nolghboihood

hondale, stating that foul play was
