Faurot The inspector said:
Schmidt has admitted 10 us that he
hired the fiat and took the girl there
He said that at midnight on August 81
lie let himself into the apartment with
the key. He said he had known the
girl for more than TWO years and was
infatuated with her. Miss Aumuller was
asleep in bed but he went over to her
He had a large butcher knife in his
hand. He cut her throat before she could
make an outcry. He believed he had
killed her and carried her into the bath
room"
The autopsy had shown that the girl
was dismembered while still alive and
the absence Of blood In her veins had
given rise 10 the belief that the person
who had cut her To pieces had drained
her so that in dlsposing OF the body
there would be no trail TO follow.
