SAYS HE ROBBED
ONLY FOR PAST|ME
TRIAL OF PECULIAR CASE
BEGINS TODAY
Long Beach Contractor and Young
Son Accused Of Wholesale Rob-
bery-Smith Against
Schmidt

what promises to be a hard fought
and spectacular criminal case will open
to-day i'm the superior court, when c.
N. Schmidt, a prominent Long Beach
contractor will be tried on the charge
of robbery.
The mystery connected with numer-
Gus burglaries at Long Beach was
cleared up finally on December s last,
when Schmidt, his wife and two sons
were arrested.
1t is said Mrs. Schmidt objected to
the schemes proposed by her husband,
and his stepson Ray aged 13 years,
was forced to participate against his
will.
At first Schmidt's wife and youngest
son were thought to have been impli-
Gated, but owing to their peculiar con-
nection in the case they were dis
charged from custody, and the law
will now seek to be avenged by the
trials of Schmidt and his son, Roy.
who is hardly 10 years of age.
District Attorney Fredericks regards
this case as one of the most important
criminal cases that has come before
the court at this term, and he has
assigned the prosecution of the case
to Deputy District Attorney Donneil
who is regarded as one of the most de-
terrnined prosecutors in Los Angeles
county.
Smith Against Schmidt
The charge on which Schmidt will be
tried is in connection with the rob-
berry of the Smith house, December 6.
Smith is a motorman employed by
the Pacific Electric railway company.
Several days prior to his marriage he
purchased new furniture for his home
1t is alleged that Schmidt got away
with almost everything in sight.
Smith was dumfounded when he en-
tered his new home and found it de-
nuded of all it's furnishings.
Deputy Marshal Stevens and Deputy
Sheriff Breton were detailed on the
from the Smith home they found the
suspect.
The case is spectacular from the
prosecutions point of view, in that
Schmidt is said to have robbed numer-
Gus dwellings at Long Beach, mainly
for the pleasure which it afforded
him, rather than for the profits.
Robbed for Pleasure
At the time of his arrest, Schmidt
told the officers that his enterprises af-
forded him sort of eXhilarating
pleasure on account of the spirit of
adventure and danger"
While Schmidt says he robbed for
the "exhilarating pleasure" which 1t
afforded him, the law provides for no
such kind of recreation.
Schmidt will probably be tried alone
on the charge to-day, and the trial IF
his stepson will come up later.
Most of the goods alleged to have
been stolen have been recovered and at
the conclusion of the trial they will
be restored to their owners.
A greater portion of the plunder will
be hauled to the court house to-day.
and chairs and tables, alleged to have
been stolen, will figure in the court
room as the prosecutions exhibits.

minister and a Catholic priest who hold
