The most grewsome murder since
the killing of Guldensuppe was reveals
ed when Hans Schmidt, Catholic
priest, 80 years old, Of New York
confessed to the Staying and cut
ting up of the body of Anna Aumuller
21 years old, in a fiat at 6S Broadhurst
avenue, where he was living with her.
The slain girl had been employed
at the parish house of st. Bonifaces
church, Forty-seventh street and Sec
ond avenue, where Schmidt became
acquainted with her some time ago.
She disappeared about two weeks ago.
She was about to become mother
and when this was discovered, she
was ordered to leave Immediately.
She went at once to the priest, VINO
placed her in the fiat.
His confession clears the mystery
of the torso found in the North river
a week ago sewed in pillow case
the identity of which has been
puzzIe ever since its discovery.
Schmidt, who lives in the parish
house of st. Joseph's church, at 4O5
West One Hundred and Twenty-hfth
street. with other priests connected
with the church, was arresed by IN
speetor Faurot and charged with the
murder.
He broke down and in a wild frenzy
of fear made a complete confession
so horrifying in its details that the
INSPECTOR could only compare 1t to
the rawlings of a madman. The young
priest told how he had fallen in love
with the pretty girl, who had been IN
this country only three years; how he
had rented a fiat anti furnished 1T;
how he had previously married the
girl with a ceremony self-performed'
and how finally he had entered the
fiat at midnight August 81, armed
with a new butcher knife.
"Anna was asleep" he cried pacing
the floor and wringing his hands. u
entered softly and she awoke and rec
ognized me- Anna l said, 1 love you
dearly. I am now going to prove It.
He then seized her by the hair and
drawing the knife, cut her throat from
ear to ear.
He then dragged the bleeding body
to the little bathroom and taking a
new saw, which he had purchased
with the knife, he proceeded to dis
member the body.
First" he says in his confession. u
cut off her arms, and having laid them
aside. cut off her legs close to the
trunk. and in ALL made five bundles
of the body"
Having cut up the body. the slayer
was seized with the terrible fear Of
discovery. He ran about the apart
ment like madman trying to think
how to get rid of the bloody witness
of his deed.
All night he considered then he de
cided definitely on his action. He
wrapped the portions Of the body IN
sheets and pillow slips and deter
mined to throw them into the Hud
son.
On the following evening he carried
the torso from the apartment, carefully
wrapped in pillow slip and waited un
til he throught the coast was clear be
fore descending the three flights o.
stairs with the heavy bundle. Having
reached the street unseen he made MS
way to an Eighth avenue car, boarded
it, rode to One Hundred and Twenty

WILL CONTINUE THE BATTLE

Calumet, Mich, Sept. 18-The SOL
dfers still continue active in protect
ing the few scabs who are working.
No serious outbreaks have occurred
since the killing of the young girl
several days ago. At Kearsarge monut-
ed artillery scattered men and women
pickets, riding down those who re-
fused to move from the posts. Such
pickets as were on duty were prevent
ed from approaching strike-breakers,
either on their way to or from the
mines. The militia and deputies" are
according the same treatement to
pickets throughout the copper coun-
try, but in spite of their efforts to
discourage the strikers and depress
them, they have on several occasions
held very largely attended parades
The militia men are charged with hav-
ing vigorously used the butts of their
rifles on strikers at Larium when they
attempted to interfere with the strik-
ers' progress. In order to discourage
the strikers story has been widely
ciculated through the press that or
ders have been given for wooden uni
forms for 500 men, sweaters and
gloves have also been ordered. The
force of militia has been reduced to
500, and General Abbey has announced
that it will be maintained atthat fig
ure until settlement of the strike is
reached. Notwithstanding these pre-
parations for winter campaign on
the part of the state, the men are by
no means discouraged, as the con-
tributions are coming in freely, and
sufficient funds will be furnished by
the various appeals sent out to keep
the wolf from the doc for some time

INSIST ON DISCIPLINE.


Berlin. Sept. 18.-For the first time
in the history of German Labor unions
a meeting of leaders has decided
against strike undertaken by To-
cal union and ordered the men to re-
turn to work The case is that of
the metal workers at the shipyards of
Hamburg, who recently struck against
the consent of their leaders. The lead
ers of the German Metal Workers
Union, therefore, met in Berlin to the
number of about $50 to take action.
It was generally expected that they
would be obliged, if only for the sake
of preserving the esprit de corps of
the organization to approve Of the
strike. On the contrary, by vote OF
1875 to IS, they passed the following
resolution: This extraordinary gen
eral meeting of the German Metal
Workers Union declares that, after
hearing the statements of the Execu-
tive Committee, and of the members
members employed in the shipyards
who left work work without the con
sent of the Executive Committee, that
this action Is not compatible with the
principles of union tactics and dds
i cipline. It condemns the procedure
adopted by those members most EN-
phatically. as this does not appear cal
culated to increase the fighting
strength of the union in face of the
union in ace the united action Of
employers In the metal industry"
