friend through q mild third degree in
an effort 20 learn II ne knew anything
about the murder and Acknowledgement
Of the Aumuller girl.
At the conclusion Of the examination
Mr. Delehanty said he was not pre-
pared 10 say that Muret had cleared
himself Of any knowledge Of the muir
Ger. AIuret will be brough, TO the Dis
trict Attorneys office and examined
further later In the week BY that time
the District Attorney will have inves-
tigated some of his statements.
Muret stuck to his story that he met
Schmidt for the first time about a
year ago. Schmidt came to him to
have his teeth treated he said.
Schmidt frequently came to his home
to see him and sometimes on these oc-
casions changed his clerical garb for
civilian clothes.
Muret said that August rs he and
Schmidt quarrellcd and he saw Moth

weeks. Pressed for the reason for the
quarrel by Mr.. Murphy. Muret said:

not do it,
AIuret said he did not see Schmidt
after August Is until September or 6.
The meeting at that time he said. was

cut on his hand. Muret asked him how
he cut il and Schmidt replied, he said,

The District Attorney is prepared to
fight any move to declare Schmidt in
sane He already has obtained the
consent of Schmidt's counsel TO have
alienists examine Schmidt in his cell.
Captain John Henry, head Of the local

also believes Schmidt is sane. This con-
clusion. which is shared By all save a
very fcw-one of them the priests counsel
and the other Father Evcrs. the Roman
Catholic chaplain Of the Tombs-was
reached after nearly an hours conversa-
ton with the priest in his cell yesterday
afternoon.
II found Father Schmidt self-possessed.
