MURDER CHARGE DENIED PRESIDIO STEWARD NOW OCCU PIES ceiliIj rv jaiihere. George C. Schall, About to Retire From Army, Now Must Answer to Accusation as Slaver. Tearfully denying any knowledge of the killing of his wife and three sons at the Presidio at San Francisco last April, George C. Schall yesterday sub mitted to arrest by Deputy United States Marshal Talley and is now in a cell In the Multnomah County JaiL He is charged in a San Francisco in dictment with the murder of his fam ily, the members of which were found in a burning house, with their beads cut open. Schall for many years has been hos pital steward at the Government mili tary reservation. He declared in th marshal's office yesterday on arrival from Vancouver, Wash., where he was located, that he arrived on the scene of the fire to find his home so nearly destroyed that any action on his part was Impossible. He said he was first informed that his wife and children ad escaped and later that they were still in the ruins- He said he had passed many weeks In the hospital suf fering from nervous shock. He did not explain why he suddenly left the Pre sidio after leaving the hospital. Schall will be taken back to San Francisco by a deputy from the Port land office probably some time this week. His arrest was made by a deputy United States marshal and John csecrlst, chief of police of Vancouver. Schall married a sister of the wife of George B. Stoner, Councilman of the Vancouver City Council, and part owner of a bar ber shop there. Mr. Stoner had never seen his brother-in-law, Schall. until he arrived a few, weeks ago and se cured a position In a local drug store as a pharmacist. Schall was steward of the Government hospital and is due to retire after SO years' service. In August. He secured a four months' leave of absence to be retired at the end of that time. Mr. Stoner took Schall into his own home when he reached Vancouver, and that night he had a long talk with him. He said that Schall got badly tangled in his stories about the death of his family. The wife and children of Schall were- insured and Schall col lected 1403 on their policies. Mr. Stoner said Schall did not even attend the funeral of his family, feigning sick ness, but that he found men there who said he was playing cards the follow ing day. Mrs. Stoner accused Schall openly of having killed her sister and ordered him from her home, as she could not bear to see him. After talking over the matter for some time, and holding many conversations with him. Stoner finally decided to go to San Francisco and demand a grand jury investigation. He made an affidavit there and it was on his request that the Investigation began, and has resulted in Schall s arrest- Mrs. Stoner said that she be lieved that as her sister had become paralyzed and that as she was a bur den to him. and he was so soon to re tire, he took this rash method of get ting rid of her. 8-YEAR-OLD- BOY DROWNED Launch Runs Down Two Lads in Canoe, tout Both Are Saved.
