Defence To Be Insanity.
Meanwhile. Father Schmidts defence
according TO his lawyer. Alphonse u
Koelble. was announced as the expect
Cd insanity plea. Koelble, who is en-.
Gagged in German American matters
and who is the man who precipitated
the riot in Carnegie Hall at the DIG
peace meeting a year ago said he
would interpose no delay of any klnd
and would be ready for trial as soon as
tho state was prepared TO put the
case on.
II was minated by former friends
NJ Schmidt that the priest would well
,ome the chance 10 plead guilty, and
would forego the insanity defence II
inc state would accept plea OF muir
der in the second degree.
The first official move in the case IS
sci for Thursday night. when Coroner
schlem will hold an inquest at Nolk
,norgue. Jersey City. on the portions OF
the body recovered from the river. IL
is likely that after that formal pro-
ceeding the New Jersey authorities VIII

ton OF the case in this city viii fol-
low.
Nonsignor NJ. J. Lavelle, rector of 81.
patrick's Cathedral. announced yester-
day that a message from Germany SAID
that Schmidt was regularly ordained
as priest there, but later was sus-
pended for attempted fraud. His dis
missorial papers. by which he obtained
priests standing and position in TINS
country. are believed TO be forgeries.
The announcement Of the arrest of
second person in the murder case OF
Anna Aumuller was made BY Inspector
Faurot at Police Headquarters at II
o'clock last night. Detectives assigned
10 Law IN wait for the person. whose
identity Inspector Faurot would not
disclose. communicated with the de-
tective bureau by telephone. few
minutes later Inspector Faurot, in
high state OF mixed excitement and
sles. entered his automobile and was
driven swiftly uptown.
II was o'clock last night before In
spector Faurot who had been out all
the afternoon. returned and said he had
obtained evidence which led him 10
believe that Father Schmidt had not
covered all his movements in disposing
Of the dead girls body in the written
confession he made 20 the District At
torney's Office yesterday.
The laborer who gave the tip 20
Faurot told a detailed story Of the
mans actions in the park.

determine whether any one was laying
particular heed 20 his actions. the man.
who the detectives learned yesterday
vas without doubt the priest. set the
package on the ground and removing
the cover from the small pail. poured
the contents on the bundle.
After setting fire 70 il and lingering
beside the blazing package until he was
sure il would be consumed by the
flames the priest walked rapidly 10
the sidewalk and paced up and down
152d street while the flames destroyed
the bundle.
The informant Of the police said his
curiosity was aroused by the queer
actions OF the man who had lighted the
fire, ami that he fingered in the near
vicinity that he might watch him
further. When the fire gradually died
down. however. the observer decided
that the man was evidently disposing
OF some rubbish, as many residents Of
that neighborhood are in the custom
Of doing, and he left the scene while
the priest fingered nearby.
When the story was told to Inspector
Isurot yesterday, he assigned Detec-
tive O'Neiil to the vacant lot 70 search
for the remains Of the fire and 10

burned objects that remained un-
cbsrred
