UNEARTH MORE EVIDENCE.
Winding Coil About Hans Schmidt, the
Jekyl-Hyde Priest.

New York, Sept. lS.-Hans Schmidt,
the ekyl-Hyde priest whose double life
was exposed last Sunday when he was
arrested for and confessed the murder OF
Anna Aumuller, had, after killing the
girl and dismembering her body in a
Bradmurst avenue fiat, hired another
apartment in which he presumably
planned to conceal himself. This de-
veloped from police discoveries yester-
day.
Evidence also was found linking closer
and for a longer period than had been
supposed, the lives of Schmidt and his
alleged counterfeiting partner, the un-
licensed dentist, DIR. Ernest Muret.
Papers found in the dentists Office in
dicated that Morse had left London for
some offense committed while practicing
medicine there, and had practiced in
Chicago under the name of "Dr. Arnold
Teld" and that he had left that city and
dropped the name of Held some time
subsequent to July, 1909. Although
Muret has claimed he had known
Schmidt only six months, evidence has
appeared which shows that they had
business relations two years ago and
that the dentist long had knowledge of
schmidt's counterfeiting experiments.
District Attorney Whitman yesterday
took the Schmidt investigation in hand.
Coincidentally the federal authorities
served warrants on the warden of the
Tombs, where Schmidt and Muret are
confined, calling for the detention of
both men on the grounds that they had
in their possession implements with
which to make counterfeit money. On
the coroner's side of the inquiry into
the murder it was announced that the
inquest will be held some time next
week.
The detectives, still securing the Har-
lem neighborhood in which Anna Au-
muller was murdered on September 2,
found yesterday that three days after
the crime man resembling Schmidt
but giving another name rented an
Eighth avenue apartment, paid
months rent and left two suit cases
there. The fiat was opened and the suit
cases found yesterday afternoon. In
them, with photographs of Miss Aumul
Ter and Schmidt, were numerous little
belongings, evidently those of the muir
dered woman. Baby clothes made up
and patiently embroidered and material
for the making of many other garments,
enough for complete outfit for an in
FAINT, were among the contents of the
grips Some of Schmidt's things were
there, too, pair of trousers and
waist coat to match, both marked with
the name 'VanDyke," one of the aliases
Schmidt is known to have assumed;
false moustache and false goatee, and
numerous other articles.
Schmidt may have intended to re-
move all the bloody, tell tale evidence
from the Bradhurst avenue fiat to his
new quarters, but he was not there after
September 6. it appears. The discovery
of Anna Aumuler's body in the Hudson
river. and the consequent police search
in the neighborhood where it was soon
found the girl was killed, must have
spoiled his plans.
