Annapolis, (Maryland) October 31. On Saturday the 19th
instant, about 2 o'clock in the morning, John Schneider, a
musician, and an inhabitant of this city, cut his throat
through the windpipe, after which he got out of bed and was
found lying on the floor; his groans waked the family, and
tho' a surgeon was immediately sent for, and every possible
assistance given, by sewing up the wound, &c. he died on
Saturday evening last. 'Tis said he had frequently been
disordered in his mind, a Jury of Inquest, were summoned to
view the body, who brought in their verdict lunacy.
