Shocking Occurrence
Last evening, about half-past six o'clock, the vicinity of the National Hotel was thrown into great and painful excitement by a frightfully tragical occurrence that took place on the steps immediately at the entrance to the hotel. This was the deliberate shooting of Mr. Edward H. Fuller, of this city, by the hands of Lieut. James W. Schaumburg, formerly of Philadelphia, we believe, but who for many years past has spent much of his time in Washington, and has recently boarded at the National. The following is reported to be a correct account of the rise and cause of this sad affair:
Several years since Schaumburg boarded at Fuller's, now Willard's Hotel, kept by A. Fuller & Co. When the firm became insolvent he was indebted to it several hundred dollars, and has so continued ever since. Applications made to him from time to time for payment by the surviving partner, Edward H. Fuller, have been disregarded by him, as we learn, on the ground that the debt was due not to Mr. Fuller, but to the trustees under the insolvency. Mr. Fuller, nevertheless, pursued the claim, and in an altercation on the subject some two years ago with Schaumburg personally chastised him. This circumstance was matter of general notoriety at the time, and got into the newspapers.
Public notice was again drawn to the matter on Tuesday morning last by the appearance of a number of large handbills posted in the most public way along Pennsylvania avenue, announcing, under "the signature of Edward H. Fuller, that James W. Schaumburg was a coward, liar, and swindler, with allegations and statements to substantiate it."
On Tuesday and yesterday afternoon and evening Schaumburg was seen pacing backward and forward along the avenue, suspected by many, and, as it would seem, too truly, with deadly intent, in search for Fuller. Unhappily, last evening, at the time above stated, Mr. Fuller had mounted the steps to enter the National Hotel from Sixth street, when he was espied by Schaumburg, who was standing near the door on the east side of the portico; and when Fuller approached at the distance of about four feet he received the fire of one barrel of a revolver in the hands of Schaumburg, and instantly retreated across towards the south side of the avenue, pursued by Schaumburg, with, as some say, a drawn bowie-knife in his hand. A number of hackmen and others following Schaumburg with hostile shouts induced him to give up the pursuit, and retire to the hotel, where, after seeking a retreat from room to room to elude the excited crowd from the street, he at last gave himself up to the police. Being conducted to the office of Justice Morsell, he was duly committed to the county jail, where he now remains.
At a late hour last night Mr. Fuller's condition was critical; the ball having entered about an inch and a half to the right of the navel, and had not been extracted; indeed its place of lodgment had not been found.
The National Intelligencer, 17 Feb 1853
We are pleased to state that the condition of Mr. Edward H. Fuller was reported yesterday to be much better. His pulse which at one time on Saturday had risen as high as 104, fell to 105 yesterday, and for a time he was enabled to sit up in bed. He also exhibited some appetite for food. The previous exceeding irritability of the region of the wound was so much abated as to admit of considerable pressure, and altogether hope for his recovery was the predominating feeling. Whatever may be the result, the skill, care, and unremitting attention so fully rendered the case on the part of the physicians, Doctors Miller, Boyle and Holmead, deserve public notice and general approval; nor do the tender assiduous, and equally indispensable services of Mr. and Mrs. DeSaules, of the Waverley House--into which Mr. Fuller was taken immediately after he first fell--less merit warm acknowledgment. Nowhere could the unfortunate patient have been more kindly treated or more efficiently served.
The National Intelligencer, 23 Feb 1853
Mr. Edward H. Fuller's condition on Monday was very discouraging. Yesterday, however, he rallied considerably though towards evening his fever was quite high.
The National Intelligencer, 22 July 1853
Criminal Court
On Wednesday the trial of James W. Schaumberg was continued. The principal witness, Mr. Edward H. Fuller, was examined, and gave a statement of the shooting and attendant circumstances; in the course of which he stated that the ball from Schaumberg's pistol had never been extracted, and that he occasionally experienced a pain in his left side from it.
Several other witnesses were examined on the part of the prosecution, and Drs. Miller and Boyle testified to the serious character of the wound inflicted, which was calculated to be mortal.
Yesterday Messrs. Jno. B. Sullivan and Jno. A. Linton were called into the witness box on the side of the prosecution, when the testimony for the prosecution closed.
By consent of the Counsel for the United States, Z. Collins Lee, Esq. made an additional opening argument for the defense.
The following witnesses were examined for the defense: Wm. G. Walworth, Jno. W. Wells, James G. Berret, and Gilbert C. Russell.
The trial will probably occupy the whole week.
The Evening Star, 25 Mar 1854
Criminal Court
The trial of Captain Schaumburg for shooting at Mr. Fuller with intent to kill, which was commenced yesterday, was resumed today, Mr. Fuller appearing on the stand at the opening of the Court to give his testimony. It will be unnecessary to repeat it, as the account was given on the former trial in all the papers of the country. The evidence was bona fide--a repetition of what was then stated.
The Court was filled with spectators, and the enclosure inside the bar crowded with auditors. There is a large array of legal talent employed on both sides. Messrs. Fendall and Chilton; appearing for the prosecution, and Messrs. Z. Collins Lee, of Baltimore, S.S. Baxter, of Washington and Jeremiah Clemens of Alabama for the defense. The opening address to the jury was made yesterday by Mr. Fendall, to which Mr. Baxter replied on the part of Capt. Schaumburg.
Outcome of the Trial: Hung jury, 9 for conviction, 3 against.
The other children of Edward and Emily were:
1) William Henry Fuller (born 16 Dec 1839) was born in Washington, DC. He [1st] married J. Louise (Peters) Fuller (died 10 June 1877). William [2nd] married Alice (Craig) Fuller. William died in Hyattsville, Maryland.
