SCHMIDT ON TRIAL
FOR Staying GIRL
Insanity to be Defense Of the
Confessed Murderer.

New York, Dec. Slight jurors
have been picked to try Hans Schmidt,
confessed murderer of Anna Aumul.
Ter. whfio he was acting as q priest In
st. Boniface's church.
While the talesmen were being ex-
amined Schmidt moved his head and
hands restlessly. When a juror had
been picked he rose to face him at
the prompting of the court officer. He
appeared to pay no other heed to the
proceedings. His counsel, Alphonse
G. Koelble, Terrence J. McManus and
w. M. X. Olcott, sat apart from him
and consulted him not at all.
The court room was we'll filled.
Schmidt appeared in a fur overcoat,
the only wrap he possesses, 1T was
said. He. looked unkempt. His hair
and beard have gone untrimmed since
his arrest in September. He wore a
black suit and no shirt. A silk hand.
kerchief circles his throat. He &C.
knowledges only one Of his lawyers,
Mr.. Koelble. Insanity will be the de-
tense.
Anna Aumuller was slain on Sept.
2. With a butcher knife Schmidt cut
her body to pieces, made packages of
the corpse and threw them over the
rail of ferryboat into the Hudson
river. Pieces of the body were found
near the New Jersey shore within a
week. Schmidt was traced by a pillow
slip.

TWO new YORK
GIRLS DISAPPEAR
Police Believe One is III and
the Other a Runaway.

New York, Dec. 9.-The complete
and apparently unexplainable disap-
pearance of two young women OF the
city, coming Immediately after the
wide publicity that has been given to
the improved tehory that white slav-
ers are making use of poison needles,
is causing much activity on the part
of the police.
In the case of Jessie Evelyn Nc
Cam, who disappeared on Thursday
from her home, 43S East Twenty-first
street, Flatbush, the theory accepted
by the family is that the young wom-
an had a nervous breakdown while
travelling through the STREETS, suffered
a loss of memory, and is now either
wandering in the streets of New YORK
or some nearby town, or has been TAX
en- in charge by the authorities and
put in an institution. Her father is a
rich merchant.
From a talk with Mrs. Isabelle
Moulton, mother of the other missing
girl, who is Mabel Vera Moulton, six
teen years old, is seems possible that
the young girl left home voluntarily,
because she thought her parents guard.
ed her too strictly. Miss Moulton dis
appeared early last Wednesday.
The disappearance Miss Mccain
is much similar to the disappearance
of Dorothy Arnold, who was never
seen by her friends or family after
she had left home three years ago.
While the police are not overlooking
the theory that Miss Mccain may
have fallen into the hands of agents
of commercialized vice, the supposi
ton that she suffered a sudden loss
of memory seems more. probable.
