as that the bark Of the trees was COW

He thought often of his children and
friends. and his thoughts seemed al
most to conjure them up before him.

A STATEMENT BY JOHN SPINKS
Charles Town. WA. Nov. IL, 1sl:
The undersigned was treated all
right at Moundsville, doing sentence Of
five years, and was sent there from
Charles Town. w. Va, for stealing
whiskey from Wager Fritts' saloon in
Charles Town. and never denied my
guilt. and | did my time of three years.
eight months and six days.
During the first year was in Mounds
vile the only man they had for Warden
was Mr. Matthews. de is the man who
fed the prisoners and passed among
them. and tried to help the prisoners
all he could
But when Warden Brown came he
never showed any one favor or tried
to help any one, but while Mr.. Brown
was in the Chapel he was all piety.
/ can prove by 900 or HOO men that
after Warden Brown left the chapel he
was different man altogether.
! will make the statement that was
trusty outside the prison and never
mailed letter for any inmate while |
was doing time there.
While working outside the prison for
Brown, to show that he IS not fit to be
Warden, there was anotber convict
working out with me who used to be
barber for the Warden and the Captain.
To show that the Captain Is the only
square man at the Institution, he called
me in and asked me if / had been run
ming around after night and told him
| had not. He said for me to go to the
South Hall and stay all night. My ans
wer to him was, "Captain, since have
been made trusty and put out in the
front, have done the square thing /"
and then asked Captain Bloyd if had
been reported to him by ons of the
guards, and he said ] had not, but the
Warden had told him to call me in and
talk with me about running around the
barn at night. The Captain said, 81
don't believe word of it, john He
sent me to the South Hall and kept me
there for two months, until / was dis
charged, and never worked lick.
With all due respect to Warden
Brown, he is no fit man to have charge
of 1000 men and can say this for Joe
Bloyd that what he says he will do,
that he will do.
When a prisoner enters this place he
is assigned to do task in the shop, and
lots of crippled men come there and
they are unable to do days work, and
If it was not for Captain Bloyd the
men would suffer more than they do
1t you don't do the task set for you,
you are~hung on the gate or padded
And all you can do over the task. you
are paid for, but tits hard days work
for man to do the task
Captain Bloyd tries to reason with
all the men and is very kind to them.
Warden Brown stated in Martins
burg paper that what said to Wheel
ing reporter was false. / can prove
that the statement | made was true
and Warden Brown himself knows it is
true. and he also knows that while |
was convict | was truthful boy to
him.
All have said can prove.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SPINKS.

PRIEST ADMITS MURDER.
Confesses He Killed Girl, Dismsmbered
BODY. and Threw Parts Into the
North River.

Hans Schmidt, an assistant priest
al st. Joseph's Catholic Church, New
York, was arrested early yesterday
and confessed that he had murdered
and then iismembered the body OF
girl, parts Of whose body have been
found in the North River during the
past few days.
The murdered girl whose name
Was Anna Aumuller, was a servant IN
the pastoral Re sideuce of the Rev.
Father Braun, rector Of ST. Boniface's
Church on the southeast corner OF
Forty seventh street and Second ave
nue.. where Schmidt from December,
1910, until May, 1912. was a curate.
Schmidt's only explanation Of the
cause of The murder vas that he
.ioved Anna. In confessing he
made a lergthy statement Catholic
Church authorities Of the New York
diocese, headed by Mgrs. Mooney and
Lavelle, who are vicar-generals or
the diocese. held a conference yester-
day after receiving reports OF an in
terylew with Schmidt in the Tombs
by the Rev. Father Evers to learn
whether or nor Schmidt really is 8
priest Of the Catholic Church.
Schmidt made statements 70 Father
Eyers about being ordained a priest
by st. Elizabeth of Hungary, who
told me to kill Anna as q sacrifice Of
blood, and made many more wild
statemets that inclines TO the belief
that he is insane.
There are reasons to believe, ac-
cording TO the church authorities, that
Schmidt is an impnstor. For some
years, however, he has performed the
duties IF a curate at two churches In
New York. at Trenton and at St..
Louis, and according to his own story
he was a priest in Germany before
coming to America from Bavaria in
1907.
