Worlds Arch Criminal Revealed
In Life Story of Hans Schmidt

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Slnce the
apprehension of Schmidt as the muir
derer Of Miss Aumuller and his con-
fession, not a day has failed TO add
some details of the mans strange life
story. 1t seems to the police that the
whole world is interested. A thread
has been picked up here and there,
this tangle has been unravelled, and
from the warp and wool the narfa-
tives of his career has been woven.
The police and the court authorities
now realize that they have to deal
with one of the arch criminals of the
age.
Inspector Faurot is not alone in be-
uevtng that time will rank this as the
worlds most celebrated murderer. As
the inspector says, the Rev. Hans
Schmidt has been shown to be one
of the brainiest criminals in any
land.
If this man had not made one little
mistake and bought a pillow different
from any other pillow sold, Faurot de -
clares that Schmidt would have de-
velOped into a master plOtter for a
band Of smaller criminals around him.
launching out and abandoning half
way criminality to make himself a
factor in the big crimes of the world.
Here is his story so far as it is
known:

CHAPTER I,

An old gray-haired woman, sitting
by the fire in her little home in
Aschaffenburg. Germany, two weeks
ago was handed photograph by the
mail man and the picture proved to
be that of her long-absent Johannes
Schmidt in America. On the back of
the card was the sentence in Ger
man "Auf Elm frohes wiedersehen"( To
our next happy meeting) In post
card that came two days later was
the encouraging promise, Il rejoice
that l soon may be with you"
Tears of joy rose in the old frau's
eyes. Probably she told the news
Of her son and his plan to return to
her neighbors and to her husband
Heinrich Schmidt, who is 65 years
old, one year older than Frau
Schmidt.
Yet the Rev. Hans Schmidt when
he sent the likeness and the message
was undoubtedly already plotting the
cruel murder of Anna Aumuller, the
comely young girl he said he loved.
He had looked at fats and stolen a
death certificate, had copy made Of
it by Photography and had obtained in
some way blank death certificates.

CHAPTER II.

Frau Schmidt sat gazing into the
flames in the CRATE and thought Of
the youth Of her boy, Johannes. Time
and again in those days he had
brought tears to her eyes. At Mainz
Seminary his pranks had scandaliZed
her He had even on one occasion sat
in a bathtub stark naked playing a
guitar, while other students and the
learned teachers looked aghast
through the open door.
At Munich again, where he was sent
for further schooling, his love affairs
with women of questionable character
became a public scandal and led to
his disgrace. Nevertheless, he was
ordained and sent to officiate at St.
Elizabeth's Church. He abandoned
the altar in solemn part of the
services at GOnzenheim and ran cry
ing through the aisles and later dis
appeared from the town after an at
fair Then he was involved in forgery
and dismissed
A close companion Of Johannes
Schmidt in these youthful days of
revelry and affairs with women was
a cousin, Adolph Mueller, none other
than the dentist and associate Of
Schmidt in New York under arrest
and booked by the police as Dr. En-
nest Muret.
Mueller fed to England and
Schmidt fed TO America. Constantly
they kept in touch, but secretly of
necessity.
Mueller became first Doctor Estein,
and in that Euise was employed TO
teach languages in the Hugo Ian
guage Institute in London He pad
ded his accounts and was discharged,

HANS SCHMIDT
DETERMINED To
FIGHT FOR LIFE
Supposedly Mad Priest Suddenly
Changes From Martyr Air When
He Sees the Death Chair.

NEW YORK, Sept 2o.-Suddenly
abandoning his air of resignation and
perverted martyrdom, Hans Schmidt,
the supposedly mad priest, who con-
fessed numbering and dismembering
Anna Aumuller. declared in the
Tombs to-day that he would fight for
his life
For the first time a look of terror
game into the prisoners eyes at a
mention of the death chair and, while
exercising in the corridor. Schmidt
conflded to fellow prisoner:
IT will fight for my life, If District
Attorney Whitman expects to get
anything out of me he will find him
self up against a stone wall"
On account of Schmidt's erratic
mental condition, a sudden change OF
attitude with revelations of more
CHASTITY crimes would not surprise the
police.
When Schmidt was asked about a
confession he is alleged to have made
yesterday relatives to euthanasia he
shrugged his shoulders and refused to
talk. One of the beliefs of Schmidt's
disordered mind is in the doctrine OF
painless death for cripples or persons
who suffer.
The police believe that If Schmidt
had not been arrested he would be
dealing in wholesale murder. Schmidt
intended to make a beginning in his
dreadful work of blood among the
parishioners Of st. Joseph's Church
where he was assistant rector In or
der to dispose of his victims Schmidt
had stolen a book of death certificates
from a physician and these were to
have been forged.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-21
CHAPTER VI.

Following the confession, rapidly
came the police discovery that the
cousins, who in youth connived to-
gether at Mainz. were together still.
In St. Nicholas, not far from the
church Of the Rev. Schmidt, was the
dentist Office Of Dr. Ernest Arthur
Muret. 1t was there that the two
men had plotted crime.
One Of the plans OF the Rev.
Schmidt was to make counterfeit:
money, and to relieve the poor of
this country and Germany" as he
says. The minister engraved the
plates, crudely enough at first, but
better as he practiced. The place OF
safe-keeping for the counterfeiting
outfit was in the laboratory Of DIR.
Muret, the dentist
Nights, after his clerical duties were
done, the priest hurried TO his friend
and in his Office changed his clerical
garb for a business suit Of gray
Not all is yet told of the deeds done
by the two cousins. Strange stories
Of midnight revelry are reported.
Women were heard at night scream
ing and seen running in the Railways
crying for help.
There may have been other muir
ders Helen Greene who had been in
the company Of the Rev. Schmidt,
when he posed as n VanDyke, has not
since been seen Trenton, where the
Rev. Schmidt served as assistant
priest, reports a missing girl.
But the old mother. back in AS
Chaffenburg, has but one explanation,
now that she knows the truth:
"My poor boy is insane. He was
insane In his youth He was in an
asylum. He is to he cured-not pun
ished"
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-21
CHAPTER v.

While the detectives and newspa-
per men sat listening the Re-.
Schmidt told the story of his crime,
a tale never equaled in the annals Of
crime. He told of his relations with
Anna Aumuller and went on: But
Anna talked to me about our child
soon to be born. The full realization
of our sin became apparent to me
The fact began to worry me
AT first ! could not think out my
course. Anna pleaded. Then l de-
cided that we should be married. Sew
eral days before l killed her we were
married at the City Hall. We gave
our true names. You will find the
records.

have a home. / set about finding q

until we decided how to declare our
selves before the world, IT must be a

CHAPTER III.

In Louisville, KY, in 1909 a young
man appeared in clerical garb and
introduced himself as the Rev. Hans
Schmidt to the priests of st, Johns
Church. He was not appointed to any
place himself, but to his new friends,
the young priests, he showed what
purported to be dismissorial letters
from Munich proving him a priest.
That same year the body of Alma
Kellner, years old, dismembered and
cut into rs pieces, was found in an
old cellar under the school building of
st. Johns Church About that time
Joseph Vending, a Frenchman and
the only person known to have the
keys to the building, left his home
and disappeared He was pursued
1900 miles, brought back and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment, always
protesting his innocence.
Also at that time the Rev. Hans
Schmidt left Louisville and present
ing letters believed to be forged, in
Trenton, was received as visiting
priest and allowed to assist at a
church.
While the Rev Hans Schmidt was
in Louisville DR.. Arnold Held appear
ed in Chicago and registered at col
lege of mechanic therapy. He was an
especially Drllllant student ana TAXED
of having been educated at the Gym
nasium at KOenigsberg, in Germany.
So brilliant was he that in May, 1909,
he was given a certificate or diploma.
He lived on the North Side in a
family where there was a pretty
young girl. The family disappeared
and DIR. Held left Chicago about the
same time and no trace of either
could afterward be obtained.
In Germany there is famous DR..
Held who was educated at Koenigs-
berg. He does not know of the Chi
cago DR.. Held.

CHAPTER w.

1t was at st. Boniface's Church,
New York, established as assistant
as assistant pastor on letters from
Trenton that Hans Schmidt first met
the young girl, Anna Aumuller, then
a maid in the church house. The
young man was so brilliant, and when
he talked Of st. Elizabeth and of his
right to officiate at their own mar
riage, this in the name of the saint,
every word seemed true.
Trusting believing, the girl soon
found herself in deep despair She
talked to her family and friends of

Next he became a surgeon, DR. Mu-
ret and was an organizer of medi-
cal aid society that provided families
with medical attendance and medi-
cine for three pence weekly. The
Medical Defense Union caused the ar
rest of the bogus doctor, and Muret
dropped out of sight, while Scotland
Yard held warrants for white slavery,
illegal operations, attacking a young
girl and fraudulently posing as a ply
