SCHMIDT, GIRL s Slayer
NOT INSANE, HOLDSSTATE;
DEATH To Be DEMANDED

NEW YORK, Sept. ls.-Death VIII
be the penalty demanded by The state
for Hans Schmidt, slayer OF Anna Au-
muller.
The authorities to-day we're sure
they could combat successfully any
insanity defense that might be made
by the man, and force a death SEN
tence for the seIf-confessed slayer.
As more details Of SchmIdts past
sre dragged into view. the marvellous
cunning Of the man and his skin in
committing crimes and then covering
them up stand revealed.
Men who have given their lives TO
the study Of criminology declare that
no insane man could have conceived
and carried to successful execution the
criminal acts Of Schmidt, and that no
alienist that has Schmidts criminal
record before him could declare him
insane
So far the police have been unable

Schmidt or Edward a Muret, the
dentist, that Muret was an accessory
in the crime But they have found
that the lives Of Schmidt and Muret
have been linked in crimes alleged to
have been committed here and In Eu-
rope
Lived Under Aliases.
Papers and letters found 10 -day
show that Schmidt and Muret lived
under many aliases and that Muret
who posed as a single man, has a wife
in London.

she was that he escaped the country

tho belief that Schmidt is an impostor
and that he stole the credentials OF
the real Father Schmidt and used
them to further his criminal ends.
One report to-day had it that the real
Father Schmidt died a short time be-
fore the man who is now a prisoner IA
the Tombs came to the United States
This theory is strengthened by the
fact that Schmidt seems to know lit

Wilson Helped 4uerta

Mexico City, Aug. 29.-In the opin'
on of the leading Spanish newspa-
pers here, President Wilson's attitude
toward Huerta has greatly increased
tine chances of Huerta becoming next
president OF Mexico.
El Diario, in an editorial article,
says today:
If the election of Huerta in the
coming campaign has been in doubt
the latest diplomatic developments
and the Unforeseen attitude of Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan have made it certain"
An eulogy Of Huerta follows and
the article continues: President Will
son has taken it on himself to crys-
talilze the popularity of Huerta until
the latter has become the incarnation
OF national dignity and sovereignty"
El Fais publishes an editorial alons
similar lines, declaring that President
Wilson has not only launched the can
didacy of Huerta, but advanced it.
Should Huerta be proposed, he could
find no better argument in his favor
than the odium of Yankee presi-
dent"

Our First victory says;

San Francisco, Aug. 29.-The sur
prise of the Caminetti trial came this
morning when Thomas Warrington OF
Sacramento, father of Marsha War
rington, took the stand in place OF
his daughter White haired, clean
shaVen, kindly faced, he testified that
F. Drew Caminetti, the defendant
charged with violating the Mann white
slave traffic act called frequently at
his house for his daughter, under the
name of Mr.. Whitman. Mrs. War
rington supposed (" Whitman was an
honorable suitpr for his daughters
hand and did not suspect him of be-
ing an emissary for Maury Diggs. The
government was permitted to inter-
rupt the narrative Of Marsha Warning
ton, begun yesterday. by introducing
her fathers teB sany lin order that
he might not be absent longer than
necessary from his business. There
was a return, in the cross-examina-
tion Of Marsha Warrington's father by
Marshall Woodwork, to the earlier
tactics of the Diggs trial. A disposi-
ton to attack the girls character be
gan to show when NJ. J. Sullivan, pro-
baton officer of Sacramento county,
testified that there had been no com
plant about either Lola Norris or
Marsha Warrington previous to their
flight on March TO- On cross-exami-
nation Marshall Woodwork began to
bring out evidence directly damaging
to the character of Caminetti
Complaints about both Diggs and
Caminetti had been brought to Sulli-
van about a week before the elope-
ment to Reno. Two young girls were
involved and one of them was now in
St. Cathrine's home in this city. An
attempt to draw out their names was
rebuked by Judge Van Fleet.
Marsha Warrington concluded her
direct testimony before the noon ad-
journment was taken and the defense
began its cross-examinationa Her
manner was more confident and her
answers more incisive and prompt
than at the Diggs trial.
The government did not take her
into her story with so much minute
ness as when first it was told. The
strain on her has been severe and
there was every disposition to ease
her ordeal.
Caminetti had first given Lola Nor
ris $40 to pay her passage to Reno
the witness said. It was his idea thai
they ought to travel separately, but
Diggs had decided otherwise. It was
agreed that the party must have q
leader, and when Diggs had nominal
ed himself for the position, CaminettI
acquiea ed and Diggs ordered that
they keep together.
The witness said she had been q
pure girl until she met Diggs. HeI

LENTEN cAsUIsTs.

Lentcn fasters in the middle ages
were excellent casuists, if rather
weak in their zoology. To them all
was fish that came from the sea.
Whale flesh was roasted and served
with peas, the tongue and tail being
accounted special titbits; the per-
poise, too, was roasted and served as
a Lenten dish, even at the table of
the king. French settlers in Canada,
however, showed the greatest inge-
nuity in this respect, when, observing
that the beaver spent much of its
time under water, they determined to
class it as a fish, and dined on roast
beaver on fast days with great con-
tent, the flesh being sweet and ten
der, not unlike pork.-LondOp
