II was after Schmidt had been taken
TO the Tombs that the Rev Father Luke
J. ~Evers, the prison chaplain. asked to
see Schmidt. in order to question him
as TO his standing as a priest. 1t was
then that Schmidt declared he murdered
the girl as a blood sacrifice,
Father Evers questioned Schmidt
closely as to his right to act as priest
At the conclusion of his Interview he
said he was confident that numerous

told Father Evers he was ordained al

Schmidt has made three separate con-
fessionS. None of them conflict. but
each has been more complete. His first
statement was that he had killed Miss

Later he said he had killed her be-
cause he feared his conscience would
