Say Excitement Would Kill Him
Jos. Schulte, Charged with Murder, Has Serious Attack of Heart Disease.
Joseph Schulte appeared in Judge Mandell's court Monday afternoon to answer for the third time to the charge of murdering Alton Cameron, the jury having disagreed on the other two occasions.
Attorneys Eugene Mistersky and James A. Murtha, for Schulte argued for an indefinite postponement of the trial, on the ground that the defendant is suffering from an aggravated attack of heart failure and that any excitement is likely to result in his death.
Drs. W. S. Brownell and George A. Fritch gave testimony corroborating the attorneys' statement.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robinson vigorously opposed the motion for postponement.
Judge Mandell reserved his decision until later in the afternoon and in the meantime the prosecution will offer the testimony of disinterested physicians as to Schulte's condition.
