In INSANITY PLOT
State to Use Document lie
Prepared on Madness
in His Cell.
SLAYER'S CASE HURT
BY TOMBS DOCTOR
Evidence Given to Aid Murderer
Will Be Used Against Him
More Decisions Fail.

On an apparently innocent looking
document introduced in evidence by the
defence at the trial Of Hans Schmidt.
before Judge Foster yesterday, in an ef-
fort to prove the dscredited priest insane,
the prosecution will bulu It's attack on
the insanity plea raised by Schmidt
counsel.
And by this paper. which was written
by Schmidt the prosecution will try 10
show that the insanity defence was con-
cocted by Schmidt himself. and the whole
worked out by him in his cell in the
Tombs
TITS paper. which Schmidt wrote for
the benefit OF Or. Perry TIcfftenstein. the
resident TombS physician contained a
brief account of Schmidts whole life. with
particular reference 10 mis- abnormalities
and with various sayings Of people who
believed him TO be crazy. All these rel
erences to Schmidts lbnormalities were
UNDERSIGNED heavily by Schmidt himself.
Assistant District Attorney James NJ.
Delehanty declared Yesterday that the
state j. prepared To snoN that S'hmidt,
before writing this document had been
reading book on insanity in his cell in
the Tombs. and that Ne followed TINS
book closely i'm preparing his document.
Three parts OF the document which
Schmidt uuderscOred we're the following
The Bishop of Mainz said was
crazy
Bishop McFaul wrote ne a letter say
ing ! was without common sense"
At the seminary tiny called ne the
crazy doctor
Testimony TO show that tho claim OF
Schmidt to divine parentage did not oc-
cur TO the slayer OF Anna Aumuller un-
til many weeks after his arrest vas
proved when Or. Perry lichterste.n was
on the stand.
Srhmidts reference to hIs father IN
Germany came when Dr. bichtensteIn
told how Schmidt said he had friend
sho sacrificed his sister and father. the
physician then had asked Schmidt If he
would have sacrificed his father had the
latter been m the United states at the
time OF the murder ~ Anna Aumuller'
Schmidt replied Probably
This was another GLOW at the story
told bv Schmidt's father and sister, VINO
said that when the three met I'm DIS
trict Attorney Whitnan's office snort
time ago Schmidt refused TO greet MS
father. saving that ne was the son OF
ST John the Baptist.
Another assault upon TINS part OF the

Father George ~ Huntmau. pastor Of
81 Joseph's. where Schmidt was sta

URGES NEW WATER SYSTEM
Merchants Association to Work
for Pressure Service.

The Merchants Association will en-
deavor TO have a high service pressure
water system introduced in Manhattan in
place of the present gravity system
This change would reduce by 10 per
cent the cost Of automatic sprinklers for
use in protection against fire. and ii would
cut insurance charges on premises pro-
tected by sprnklers approximately 70 per
cent.
Private pumping in all buildings Of less
;han eleven stories would be rendered
unnecessary and saving Of millions Of
dollars annually to occupants Of build
ings would result.
The association will study the question
and will present its findings to the Board
