HANS SCHMIDT'S COUNSEL
SUBMITS HIS FINAL PLEA
Asks Verdict of Acquittal on Ground
of Insanity-Prisoner Reported
Near Collapse.

NEW YORK. December 29.-''A half
educated. half-ignorant near-German
philosopher. tainted with hereditary in
sanity, who early became owerreligious.
Hans Schmidt was thus described today
by his counsel in summing up at
Schmidts trial for the murder of Anna
Aumuller. The defense asked verdict
of acquittal on the ground of insanity.
William NJ. x. Olcott. for the defense,
said his clients greatest virtue was a de-
sire to help others, although it was not
always directed in the proper channel.
He insisted that Schmidt really loved the
Aumuler girl and wanted to marry her.
The prosecution contends that this was
not the case, and that Schmidt murdered
the GIL because she threatened him with
disgrace If he did not make her his Wife
The prosecution is confident of a con-
vction of murder in the first degree
Schmidt was reported to be near collapse
in his cell i'm the Tombs yesterday.
Prison officials said that he was UNI
doubtedly showing the strain of the or
deal of waiting for the jury's verdict to-
day.
Assistant District Attorney Delehanty
summed up for the prosecution, and the
case went to the jury shortly before
o'clock. Mr.. Delehanty argued that the
prisoner was sane, and knew the nature
of his crime. He referred sarcastically
to the aiieniStS retained by the defense,
saving that the nature of their teSti-
mony depended solely on which side
hired them.
