charges against the Attorney General.
Her'ington Makes Statement.
In a public statement MIR. Herring

The President approves in words
the way in which McReynolds dealt
with the Diggs-Caminetti and West

Case and lifted.

A morbid interest in the trial OF
Hans Schmidt in New York for the
murder of Anna Aumuller brought an
emotional tragedy to the door of the
court room, and as a result one fash
ionably dressed young woman, who
has never missed a minute of the
trial since it started, was absent from
her seat.
Shortly after the trial was resumed,
while Dr. Smith E. Jelliffe, the leading
alienist for the defense, was under
cross-examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Delehanty, Thomas
Flanagan, captain of the court officers,
told the young woman, whose regular
attendance at the trial has created
some comment, that a young man de-
sired to speak to her in the corridor.
The girl turned pale and left the court
room At the door she was met by
clean cut young man.

I've caught you at it. You said you
were not attending this trial, and now
I've found you here. Give me back
the engagement ring. Our engagement
is broken"
The girl wept Historically and plead

The jury returned with a verdict Of

and asked the foreman to repeat the
