Four other men who were in the machine at the time were also badly injured. The accident occurred at Troy avenue and Pacific street. The machine which was going along Pacific street at a high rate of speed, reached Troy avenue just as a Sumner avenue car, in charge of Motorman Henry P. HAUCK, of 1377 Bergen street, came whirling along Troy avenue on its way to Manhattan. Motorman HAUCK, it is said by eyewitnesses of the smashup, put on his brakes and slowed up. SCHNIBBE, thinking the motorman would bring his car to a standstill, continued on across the street. Instead of stopping, HAUCK again put on his power and crashed into the auto, throwing the occupants in the air. SCHNIBBE landed on his head in the gutter and was instantly killed. Mr. WICHERT and his business partner, Mr. GARDINER, and some friends had been to Coney Island in the machine. Upon leaving the Island SCHNIBBE took the party to their homes, and then started ostensibly for the garage. Instead of going there he went to the Eastern District, where he formerly worked as a bartender, and met several of his friends including Charles TIETJEN, who owns a large cafe at 703 Wythe avenue; Henry MULLER and Samuel OLDHAM, both of 703 Wythe avenue, and Charles HUTCHINGS, of 582 Bedford avenue. One of the members of the party suggested that SCHNIBBE take them for a ride. He agreed and the four got into the auto and started down Bedford avenue. At Pacific street SCHNIBBE turned into that thoroughfare and started for Troy avenue where the smashup occurred. After the smashup HAUCK jumped from his car and ran to assist Policeman GORSLINE of the Atlantic avenue station, who was but a block away when the accident occurred. When it was found that SCHNIBBE had been killed the motorman was placed under arrest on a charge of homicide. SCHNIBBE's friends were also badly injured. HUTCHINGS is lying at his home suffering from internal injuries and bruises about the body. MULLER is suffering from scalp wounds and contusions. TIETJEN received several cuts about the face and body and OLDHAM had his left leg hurt. HAUCK the motorman, was taken before Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM,in the Gates avenue court, to-day to answer a charge of homicide. He had nothing to say, and was held in $3000 bail for examination on July 16. SCHNIBBE, who had been in WICHERT's employ for over three years, lived with his famiy in Greenville, N.J.
