said: "And I love you. too" me
warden decided that conditions war
ranted him in placing Schmidt in a
cell by himself.
During the many examinations to
which Schmidt was submitted during
the day his actions continued to indi-
cate that he is suffering from an ag-
gravated form of mental disease.
Those who examined the slayer are
divided as to his mental condition.
Many persons who have known
Schmidt or who are connected with
the investigation declare the prisoner
to have a remarkable mind and as
sert that his actions, which indicate
insanity, are but pre-conoeived plan
of shamming
In this connection Coroner Feinberg
said: Schmidt appears to me to be
perfectly sane, in fact, l should call

his desire to taste in full what he be-

out all of his other shady transactions
and all the while keep up the duties
required of him at the church. / feel
sure that all this goes long way to
prove that.he is sane"

prisoner said: "Muret had nothing to

can make sacrifice and l made the
sacrifice complete by drinking the
blood"
The police tonight established
