The funeral will be held from the chapel of C. H. Mauk to morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and the girl will be attired in her gray suit. Shuman's Arrest Miss Shuman died early Saturday morning in much agony. Coroner Eckinger was called on the case im mediately afterward and he ordered a post mortem. Dr. R. Li Perkins, Dr. Harvey Miller and Dr. H. R. Wein- I er performed the autopsy and on the strength of their report a warrant was issued for Shuman. He was taken into custody by Detectives Ibach and Mur nane and a warrant issued by Chief of Police Hutchison. The former po lice officer was making arrangements for the burial of his daughter when arrested. In the physician s statement it was said that the girl had been suffering from a broken nose, a torn and lacer ated abdomen, lacerations of the en tire body, a collapsed lung which pressed in on the heart and probably was the direct cause of death in ad dition to diphtheria, In a primary stage. Shuman Very Abusive, Charge According to the evidence, Shuman was very abusive to his wife and daughter, and at numerous times beat SEPTEMBER 6,191?. ' them severely. The attack upon the daughter, which is said by the police to have culminated in her death oc i curred on the night of August 27. when Shuman returned home and it is claimed, found them both in an in • toxicated condition. An argument arose, it is said and blows were ex -1 changed. The daughter struck back and her infuriated father knocked her d»wn, then kicked her time after 1 time, it is alleged. Neighbors said ho attacked her a second time on the fol lowing Monday when she was still weak and ill from the previous beat ing. Admits He Was Rough When taken to the police station. Saturday night Shuman declared his innocence. He told of the many times he returned home from work and found his wife and daughter, who were dressmakers in an intoxicated condi tion. This and other more disagree able sights, he said unnerved him. He did not deny having fought with his wife and daughter but said he dlfln t strike the latter in the face. "I do not deny I used the girl a bit roughly," he admitted, "but I was prompted to punish her by her re- Ipeated misconduct. Both she and her mother drink, and, frequently, I came home from work tired, only to find no supper for me. I spanked the girl, as any father would, but I never kicked her." He was held without bail. The local police say that the complication of diphtheria in the case will make It a technical question as to whether or not the girl died of disease or injuries. Ousted Prom Force Shuman is widely known through out the city and after resigning as an engineer for the Pennsylvania rail road following a wreck, opened a dry goods store at Sixth and Maclay streets some years ago. Later he pur chased a hotel at Third and Broad streets. Several years ago he sold it and was appointed chauffeur of the ambulance and police patrol by Mayor Meals. He was ousted from the force at the beginning of Mayor Royal's ad ministration. The Shumans have been in straight ened circumstances recently, it is said. After being ousted from the police force, Shuman secured a position as hostler with the Pennsylvania Rail road. 1 A Turkish Bath In Your Home.
