ONE SHOT KILLS TWO MEN
BROTHERS ARE FIRED UPON
WITH DEADLY EFFECT
Were Standing Together So Shot
Lands in Shoulders Of Both-Cor-
oner BIames Two Others.

Messrs. J. V. and W. H. Hogg,
brothers Of Kline, S. c., eight miles
from Alendale were shot and killed
Monday night at O'Clock. The load
entered the right shoulder Of one OF
the brothers and the left shoulder OF
the other. One shot ended the life
Of both men.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury
places the blame for the double homl-
eide on two men, "that Henry Hogg
and J. V. Hogg came to their death
from gunshot wounds in the hands OF
J.W. Hogg and ". A. Williams.
The fatal shot it is claimed, was
fired from q window in the negro
waiting room of the Kline depot,
where the deceased had taken refuge.
It is said the shooting grew out OF an
old grudge between the two brothers
on the one hand and their cousin on
the other. Previous to the shooting
the opposing factions. it is said, were
heard speaking in heated terms when
young Johnson Hogg, a brother of
the slain men, went into their store
and told them that they were being
waylaid.
The three men went out into the
street, it is claimed, each armed with
a shotgun. They had hardly left their
door, according to the testimony,
when a shot was fred from window
in the depot. Henry Hogg exclaimed, !,
"Oh, Lord, Velpo, we are shot"
Seeing man dart from the door OF
the depot John Hogg fred shotgun
that he was carrying, the load TAX
ing effect in "Jim Hogg's back. The
two wounded brothers staggered back
to their store, Velpo falling across
the Threshold. Henry walked inside
and sat down on box pitching for
ward almost Immediately on his face
beside the already dead body OF his
brother. 1t was thus that they were
found by their friends. Neither OF
them lived longer than five or ten
minutes. Each was shot in the
breast, Henry, it is said, being hit
with about thirty shot, while Velpo
carried some fifteen wounds. Jim
Hogg is not seriously wounded, the
shot being too small and the gun hav-
ing been fred at too great distance
to penetrate deeply.

ASHAMED OF MONSTER
CATHOLIC CHURCH WANTS TO
DISOWN a FIEND.
It Hopes to Show the Self Confessed
Murderer Of Anna Aumuller a
Bogus Priest.

Murderer of Anna Aumuller q
Bogus Priest.
In the hope of branding as an i'm
poster and bogus priest, Father Hans
Schmidt, the self-confessed slayer OF
Anna Aumuller, a young woman ne
had betrayed and brutally murdered
in New York, the Catholic Church
authorities began Monday a sweeping
Investigation of Schmidt's record and
his pretensions to ordination. The
church can hardly be blamed for
wanting to rid itself of such a cold
blooded murderer as Schmidt con-
fesses himself to be.
1--WE hope, of course, to be able to
prove that this unspeakable monster
was an imposter and that he had been
using forged papers," declared Mon
signor Lavella, yicar-general of the
arch diocese of New York. "That is
something which we are trying to
clear up now. He came to this do
cese with credentials which were ap-
parently in every way authentic and
genuine, but we know practically
nothing of him. His crime is too hor-
rible to conceive. We can only hope
that he may prove to have been a
pseudo priest
Schmidt has added little to his con-
fession made on Sunday night in
which he told the police that he kill
ed his victim as she lay in bed, cut
up her body in the bath tub OF the
apartment, where he had establish
ed her, wrapped 1t in five bundles and
dropped the bundles in the Hudson
river. To Rev. L. J. Evers, the chap
lain of the Tombs, where Schmidt is
confined, he is said to have made the
following declaration:
"I was directed to kill her by St.
Elizabeth, who Is my patron, as sac
rifce, TO be consummated as was the
sacrifice Of Abraham, in blood
Schmidt told the police he killed the
young woman because he loved her,
but could not marry her because be
was a priest of the Roman Catholic
Church, which does not allow Its
priests to get married. But he had
gone through with a marriage cere-
mony, performed by himself, with
the young woman.
The police believe that Schmidt
killed the young woman because she
| was soon to become mother, and he
feared exposure as he was the father
Of the unborn babe. The police be-
lieve, also, that the young woman ac-
cepted as genuine the marriage cere-
mony through which she went with
her slayer last February, and in
which he was both priest and bride
groom. By means of this bogus cere-
mony, Schmidt accomplished the ruin
of the young woman When she was
about to become a mother, to hide his
duplicity, he brutally murdered her.
The Catholic Church authorities in
New York will dc all they can to
prove that Schmidt is bogus priest.
They say they know little Of his ante
cedents. He was born in Germany in
1881, was educated there, ordained
by Bishop Keslain, in St. Augustine's
Seminary in Maine, and came to New
York, in 1906. In 1909, he went to
Trenton, N. j., and in December,
1910, was appointed assistant rector
of St. Boniface's church in New York.
There he met the Aumuller girl, who,
he said, had come to this country
from Germany few months before.

Plays WITH SHE'LL.
House Damaged and Boys Head
Blown Off.

Joseph Pizza, fifteen years old,
found an odd looking she'll in the
home of playmate at New York Sat
urday and took it to the cellar to find
out what it was. He turned It on
the pointed end and by placing OBJ
jects around it made it stand upright.
Then he got a hammer. In the re-
sulting explosion the boys right
hand was blown off, his face burned,
his leg badly lacerated and his
shoulder cut. The concrete -four of
the cellar was known to atoms and
the furnace converted to scraps.
Young Pizza probably will die. It
was the she'll of a rapid fire gun.

under the watchful eye Of DR.. Nc
CURE, the prison physician. Warden
FELTON,, of the Tombs; declares the
man is insane, one Of the most dan
gercus men ever confined in the pris-
on, and in this view he was upheld by
Deputy Commission Of Corrections
Wright.
The discovery Of a counterfeiter's
den, which Hans Schmidt, priest and
confessed slayer Of Anna Aumuller,
Tuesday admitted was fitted up by
him to make spurious money, led the
detectives, Coroner Feinberg and 9TH
er visitors to his cell in the Tombs, to
express the opinion that Schmidt is
sane and that furt,.T investigation
will develop that counterfeiting was
only one Of his "side lines'. They
declared it is their belief he Is feign-
ing insanity after carefully thought
out plans of a master criminal mind.

THE CONFESSION
A GREAT DRAMA
Players Will Present COnner'S
Soul Stirring Play Next
Week

"The Confession" a greater drama
than Madame * by reason of being
more soul stirring, will be presented
at the Avenue Theatre next week.
When the Conness players recently
made such a hit in the play from the
French, it was believed nothing else
could be secured to equal it; notLing
that would be so absorbing. Manager
CONFESS has a drama for the coming
week. however, that will be even bet
ter received than Madame X" This
has been the case in other cities, and
it will be the same here
AS the title implies. it is Of re-
ligious type The moral teaches a
powerful lesson of the sacredness of
the confessional; that a confession
remains a secret in the priests breast.
although a disclosure would free his
own brother from an unjust and un-
true charge of murder Although es-
sentially Catholic in its appeal. it will
impress the Protestant mind with ils
sanctity.
One of the most striking and im-
pressive of the many incidents that
occur during the four acts, is where
the slayer tells the priest that he is
guilty of crime for which the clergy
mans brother has been sentenced to
death This episode takes place on the
stage, being handled with reverence
and good taste throughout.
After the confession, the main in
terest centers about several sacrifices
the priest makes for the real culprit in
his clerical capacity and the action OF
the murderer in defying him to make
known his guilt. This feature Of the
plot is powerfully worked up and
gives rise to a number Of strong situa-
tiOns.
The play will be produced by The
Conness players in the same strong
manner that is so characteristic oi
their work

gine at once Business men of New
ark are much pleased over the action
of the Fire Company as it will give
them the efficient fire protection that
IS needed.
Members of Company E, Organized
Militia of Delaware and in fact all
residents of Newark are jubilant over
the action of the Legislature in pass
ing the bill which appropriates $4,000
for the erection of an Armory in New
ark. This company while one of the
most efficient in the State has always
been handicapped by lack of proper
quarters. The selecting of site for

fragettes and anti-suifragettes OF
Newark the farce when Women

over the proposed play has been going
on idr some DAYS. II was not until
yes terday that the Mission Circle, is
sued q sgned statement on the mat
Ter announcing that it had been de-
rided not to mold it.
When it was announced that the
farce was to be given several persons
interested in the movement to secure
equal suffrage for women. objected
on the ground that they considered
that while the matter is before the
General Assembly. it might prove de-
trimental to the cause and would
likely hold it up to ridicule here. On
the other side II was claimed that
there was nothing Objectionable in
lhe farce and that it would be held
as arranged. This started the con.
troversy which evolved a large mum.

statement made yesterday. In con
cluding the statement the members
of the Mission Circles said: "Th'
members of the Circle, wish to maki
