plea of guilty of murder in the sec
ond decree if they declare me sane, :"
said Hans Schmidt, SLAYER of Anna
Aumnler. If they declare me sane
\ would not think CT conscntng to
Imprisonment for life ! want death
in the electric chair. ! will meet
my God at any time. 1t is matter
between Him and me, "
Ernest Muret, psucdo dentist and
alleged counterfeiting partner of
Schmidt, will figure prominently in
the trial, but he is tied up in the
clutches of the federal government
on the counterfeitng charge.
Schmidt says that many of the things
that have been said about him are
untrue; he declares that the truth
is bad enough, without being lied
about He swears that he never ran
a marriage bureau in city up the
state, as stated by some Of the news

cLNCHING UP THE CORN BELT.

Hereafter the man who asks, Can West Central

Never again will anyone attempt to seriously prove
the affirmative of that question. 1t is proved settled

West Genital Minnesota is in the corn belt and the

hardly probably any arrests would be
made very soon.
Rexroat took his arrest coolly and
declared he would not trouble ac-
counting for his movements on the
night of the murder. States Attorney
Hadley said the warrant for his ar
rest was only taken to insure-Rex-
roat's presence at the inquest.
The police are looking for the man
who called Mrs. Retreats landlady
Friday night and informed her that
the tango teacher was going East to
be married.
Surgeons, who examined the body,
declared that from the marks on the
body the murderer must have thrown
one arm around the woman's. neck,
forced back her head and then fired

cheek.

West Chicago, Everett Rexroat, sec
ond husband of Mrs. Mildred Allison
Rexroat, wept over the remains of his
murdered wife and cried aloud his in
nocence.
The inquest opened this morning
only few miles from the railroad
tracks on which the mangled body
of the woman was found.
ReXroat was arrested and formally
charged with, the crime on complaint
of States Attorney Hadley of DuPage
county. In spite of this the accused
man has set up an alibi that seems
liable to stand.
He says he was at his home in Ma
comb, ILL.,, two hundred miles from
the scene of the murder and has wit
nesses to verify this.
Meanwhile the police are search
ing for the mysterious Spencer"
whom it is believed may have lured
the tango teacher from Chicago to
her death. ~
Mrs. Effie Lilly, 1915 Evans avenue,
a friend of the dead woman, said to-
day that three days previous to her
death, Mrs. Rexroat had received
threatening letter signed Everett"
VIM Allison, the divorced husband
of the dancing teacher, took the
stand just before the coroner's jury
took their noon recess and declared
he had no knowledge of the murder
and knew of no possible motive for
the crime.
The morning session of the inquest
developed nothing material. The
brakemen and the engineer of the
Joliet & Eastern Railroad told of find
ing the mangled remains lying on the
tracks in a lonely ravine, near Wayne,
Ill.
