| it he is quoted as saying that he kill
ed his companion with butche's
knife and cut up1the body with tht
knife and saw. The deed was COM
mitted, the police say, while the
woman slept, shortly after midnight
on September 2, In an apartment In
Bradhurst avenue, where the priest
had placed her five days before.
When her heart had ceased beat
ing according to the alleged confess
sion, Schmidt carried the body from
the bed to the bathroom and placing
it in the tub began Immediately his
CORY task Of cutting 1t up.
With the keen knife an dthe saw
he cut off the head. arms and legs.
Still fearful Of detection, he then
cut the body in two. Five bun
dies, wrapped in bedclothes and pap
ers, were made OF the six parts.
Five times Schmidt left the apart
ment. house with a bundle to cross
the Hudson River to the Jersey
shore, Five times he leaned over
the stern Of the ferryboat in mid
stream and gently gave the river his
burden. Then he returned to his
church.
The stains of the girls blood still
discolored the bathtub when detec-
tives searched the Bradhurst avenue
apartment today. Schmidt told the
police he had taken the mattress on
which she lay when dealt the death
blow under cover Of darkness to =
vacant lot nearby and burned 1t.

 Furthermore, do not believe that Mayor Christy whose name stands at the head of the list of signcrs of the report recommending that the Committee One Hundred and Twenty-Five nom mate candidates for the commission. would par ticipate in appointment of another committee for the purpose.
 As to the demand for larger committee, therc can be no objection.
