David Stalter Killed.
A Drunken Brawl Ends in the Killing of an Old Man.
Between twelve and one o'clock Sunday morning in the pool room of Ora Gunsaulus, on East Ninth avenue under Beacham's Smoke house, David Stalter, an old man past seventy-five years of age, was struck and killed by Ed Snyder, a young man about twenty years old. The deed was done in the midst of a drunken brawl.
Young Snyder, with two cousins went to Gunsaulus's place Saturday night and engaged in a game of pool. All were drunk, and in the midst of the game one of the became angry and broke a billard cue over the edge of the table. The old man, who was drunk entered the quarrel and followed Snyder to the side walk above. At this time Ed. Botkin came along and stopped the quarrel, telling the old man to go back down stairs. He took Snyder and his companions to the corner of Ninth and Main and told them to go on home and not raise any more trouble. Instead of going home however they returned to the pool room, and began the quarrel again. The old man at this time was quarreling with Gunsaulus when Snyder approached him and struck him on the right side of the neck, knocking him against the wall and on to the floor, where he died within five minutes. Snyder then went to the home of his uncle and soon returned to the sheriff's office and gave himself over to the authorities.
Dr. H.D. Cooper held the coroner's inquest Monday morning. The verdict brought in by the jury was David Stalter came to his death from the effects of the blow struck by Ed Snyder.
