NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The arrest
of man charged with being con-
federate of Hans Schmidt, self-con-
fessed slayer of Anna Aumueller, and
OF Or" Ernest Arthur Muret, the
dentist Of many aliases, is expected
today. Inspector Faurot's men are
also looking for woman in the case.
The police decline to discuss these
prospective arrests other than to say
they will be of the utmost Importance.
The daily developments only serve
TO strengthen Inspector Faurots be-
lief that Schmidt is one of the most
remarkable criminals of generation.
and that in Muret, the fake dentist,
he has had an able ally. Evidence
has been found that these two men
were acquainted in Germany. not
withstanding Muret's statement that
he first met the priest last December,
and before they are through the de-
tectives expect to learn the men have
been friends for years.
Inspector Faurot is convinced from
the rapid-fire developments since
Muret was arrested that only a minor
part of the operations of the two men
has been exposed. Today he re-
.ceived cable report from Scotland
Yard as to whether Muret is wanted
by the British authorities, and the
Chicago police reported on the
dentists activities there.
There is no record at Scotland yard
of DR.. Muret. The registers. however,
show all entry concerning DR..
Ernst. who the detectives think Is
Muret. Dr. Ernst. while in London,
was under surveillance In connection
with the white slave trade and the
publication of indecent literature.
The Chicago police were unable to
find any trace of the woman known
as Helen Green. whom the New York
police says was a companion OF
Schmidt's and Muret's. and who Is
reported to have left New York for
Chicago a month ago. The police be-
lieve that II the woman ever came
to Chicago she is in hiding or has
since left the city.
Detectives searched for the woman
in the vicinity of the address on
North Clark street In Chicago where
Dr. Muret is said to have practised
medicine under the name of DR..
Arnold Held several years ago, but
no clue to her whereabouts was dis
covered.
Following the discovery of third
nat rented by Schmidt at 2562 Eighth
avenue, three days after the murder,
the police learned last night that he
was receiving mail under the name of
"A. Van Dyke" at 124 West Eighty
fourth street. 1t is believed Schmidt
had a furnished room at this house
for his clandestine meetings with
Anna Aumueller, but not recently.
Last night detectives succeeded In
opening the small safe in Murets Of
fee at 301 st. Nicholas avenue.
Among the things they found were
copies of two letters apparently writ
ten to establish an alibi for Muret.
One was dated September s. and the
other September A. both to promi-
nent men, and the detectives regard
them ss an indication that Muret
anticipated arrest as an accomplice
of Schmidt.
In the safe was a letter Schmidt
had written to a priest In South
Dakota asking for position there
on the plea that New York is full
of temptations.
The letters and papers found
among Muret's effects have sent the
detectives investigating In many d.
rections. 1t is not unlikely that
others will be implicated in the GRIM
inal operations of the two men be-
fore long. Many letters to Muret
were from married women.
Schmidt and Muret must have been
known at various other times under
