No importance was attached to this, as the disagreement was of short duration, and their pleasant intercourse was speedily resumed.
The evidence of the two daughters and the son of Mrs.Waring was taken, but they simply confirmed the story as related by the mother.
The various persons who were present at the finding of the body--the physicians who had made the post mortem examination, were examined as to their knowledge of the murder, and the circumstances incident thereto.
The officers who had charge of Bucholz testified to his extravagances during the time that intervened between the murder and the formal arrest of the prisoner, and to the fact of the money which he had expended bearing the peculiar marks which had been noticed upon it.
Frank Bruner had been found by my operatives, and he identified the watch that had been found as belonging to Henry Schulte.

He also testified to the conversations which took place between himself and Bucholz before he had left the service of Mr.Schulte, and also that the old gentleman had called upon him on the morning of that fatal day, and had informed him of his intention to dispense with the services of Bucholz on the 15th day of the succeeding month, and requested Frank to again enter his service; which he had promised to consider before deciding finally upon.
