SCHMIDT ASKS
 FOR THE CHAIR
 IN SHORT ORDER
Slayer of New York Girl Now Believed to Have Planned Long List of Homicides for Which He Was Prepared
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Hans Schmidt. the slayer of Anna Aumuler asked for quick death in a statement today.
 The district attorney wants me to go to the electric chair he said and I want to go. Whats the use of de- laying?"
 Schmidt afterWard expressed ideas on the taking of human life that fitted in with the story of Inspector Faurot. in charge of the murder investigation. that he might be implicated in the planning Of a series Of homecides. He declared himself a believer in euthanasia and said he believed he would be doing right in taking the lives of cripples and persons undergoing mental or physical suffering to detectives, who talked with him in the afternoon reported.
 T believe I would be carrying out Gods wills" Schmidt said If l put out of this world all such people. I would end their lives without pain"
 Faurot's suspicious of Schmidts possible homecide plans were strength ened by the discovery among Schmidt's effects of a book of physicians death certificates and other blanks necessary for the disposing of the dead.
 Scnlnldt declared there Were for use in the case of Anna Aumuller He had stolen the certificates from a reputable physician uptown, he told the detcc- tives. because he intended to kill the girl in a way to make it appear she had died natural death.
 But afterwards he decided to cut her throat and dispose of the body as best he could. "Schmidt's papers have giv- en Us fifty clues" said Faurot any one of which is liable to turn up something new about his activities His industry was amazing and his resourcefulness wonderful. But I am unable to say now whether we have caught him at the beginning or the end of a series of homicides"
 The parts of the girls body picked up in the Hudson and kept at HobOken for the inquest the New Jersey author ities held last night. were brought to this city today and placed in the Belle vue Morgue. The coroner's eXamina- tion of the body preparatory to the New York inquest will be made to- morrow.
