Counsel for Defence Near Panic
by Testimony-Priest May
Tell Story on Stand.

The prosecution in the case Of Hans
Schmidt SLAYER OF Anna Aumuller. threw
counsel for the priest into what bordered
on a panic yesterday when they intro
duced testimony tending to show that
Schmidt had planned to insure his sweet
heart for 5000 with himself as bene-
fciary.
Or. Harold NJ Hays. OF No. II West
S5th street. medical examiner for the
Postal Life Insurance. said that
Schmidt visited him in April and
tried to obtain a policy for 5000 on Miss
Aumuller's life. The application vas
rejected because Of her health.
w NJ X. Olcott. chief counsel Cor the
defence, tried TO have the testimony
stricken out, but Judge Foster ruled
against him Assistant District Attor-
ney James VI. Delehauty's argument in
dictated one Of the points that the state
will emphasize in its summing up. Mr.
Delehanty. in arguing that the testimony
was proper said it showed Schmidts
farsightedness. and a possible motive AZ
far back as four or five months before
ne committed the crime.
At the close OF Yesterdays session
Mr. Olcott said that the counsel for
Schmidt had been discussing the wisdom
OF allowing Schmidt to take the stand
In his own behalf that the jury might
Judge for themselves whether he is in
sane or only shamming Schmidt, il was
said. was willing TO 20 on the stand,
q. In usap
Schmidrs story. every one believes,
would be that he had been ordered by
God 10 offer his sweetheart as a blood
sacrifice. The extreme Views he would
offer, II permitted 10 testify. were out
lined in the first part Of his complete
confession. which he made TO Assistant
District Attorney Deacon Murphy and
l.. Breckenridge. which was read into
the record OF the case yesterday by Mr..
Murphy. who Will resume the stand when
court recouyenes this morning.
Schmidt. when asked by Mr. Murphy on
the morning of his arrest why he had
killed Miss Aumuller. said:
DO YOU understand about Abraham
and the CrucihXion?'
You mean YOU killed her as sacTl-
!ice?" asked Mr.. Murphy.
To this the minutes OF the confession
show that there was no reply, although
Schmidt had opportunity 10 answer.
When Mr. Murphy asked Schmidt what
he had done with the body after he
killed her. Schmidt. who had previously
extracted the Information from Murphy
that he was not Catholic. said: You
don't understand the mass"
Finally Schmidt said: Il took it into
the bathroom and 1 drank some Of hel
blood"
other witnesses called yesterday were
20 show Schmidts purchase of the knife
and saw with which he killed and dis
membered the girl. and the paper and
wire and Irvine with which he wrapped
W the bundles.
The prosecution expects TO finish TO-
day. After the opening address Of the
defence to the jury Schmidts father
will be put on the stand. and then his
sister. Schmidt Will follow, II II is de-
cided TO put him on. and the alienists
will close. There will be four from
either side. The trial. it is believed. Will
be finished this week.

these remedies are. for instance, law
providing that there shall be "A presump-

establishing the reasonableness Of such
restraint upon the party alleging Il: legis-
letlon preventing the watering OF stocks.
that corporations shall not hold stock In

Secretary Red1eld outlines his plans for
a reorganization OF the Bureau OF Foreign
and Domestic Commerce:
our foreign commerce has grown by
leaps and bounds until during the fiscal
year ended June 30. 1913, it reached the
great total Of 1920 10000 in value. or
this great sum 81, 100000 were exports
trade balance on these transactions In our
favor OF s653. 10000
ut certainly cannot be said that the
| government has done much TO foster this
great and growing trade. In the estimates
for the coming fiscal year. therefore, a
sum has been included which will provide
for the reorganization Of the bureau into
such form as will make IL the basis for
productive effort In developing American
| Industries In every field which Is normal
| TO them Al home and abroad.
| 1T is intended TO enlarge the force
OF commercial agents, which Is composed
Of special investigators. trained in their
separate lines of study. each pursuing
| some special theme, and for that pur-
pose travelling from country to country
! wherever information on that subject
can be had. For this purpose a special
Appropriation Of 100000 is asked for
the study Of commercial conditions in
South America.
| For all the work Of this great depart
| ment Secretary Redfeld asks Congress to
apuroprIate $3.50, go. an increase OF a
little more than 100000 over the present
year.
