COBBLER VENDETTA VICTIM
Brooklyn Police See Mystery IN
Consoles Death.

Detectives Of the Vernon avenue sta
ton, Brooklyn, were working yesterday on
the theory that Joseph Console, cob
bier, who was found dead in the rear or
his shop, No. 1893 De Kalb avenue. was
victim OF foul play. This deduction fo'-
lowed their discovery that the dead man
had been strangled with a piece OF Sash
cord and the top of his head had peen
crushed with a blunt instrument.
Neighbors yesterday called the police TO
search the cobblers home. for they mad
not seen Console, who was fifty years oid'
since last Thursday morning. the dead
man was found lying alongside his ped
with a moose tightly drawn around his
neck. At first detectives believed that ne
had committed suicide, but they changed
their theory when they discovered the
deep fracture in his head.
1t is not probable that robbery was the
motive for the crime. for Consoles purse
which contained more than $780, was
found In his pocket. though IT was COW
cred with blood stains. The police theory
is that Console was the victim of a ven
delta or the Black Hand.
A Polish woman, who. the police say
was TO have been married 10 Console III
December, says she called at the cob
bler's home Friday night. but the rooms
were in darkness, and she believed that he
had gone away.

shaver head slowly.
1t was true. Inspector Wakefield. Cap
tain Domnick Riley and their cohorts
had again invaded Chinatown's darkest
depths and laid bare places that rarely
see the light of the sun.
No arrests were madt. The raiders
contented themselves with carting away

SCHMIDT TRIAL NOT FANCY
No Allowance for Alienists-
Koelble to Defend Him.

Schmidt, the discredited priest who is
awaiting trial for the murder of Anna
Aumuller. denied yesterday that he was
dissatisfied with his counsel, Alphonse q.
Koelble, and would engage another. lie
has no money. and must take the counsei
assigned him by the court. All the money
he had in the world he hurled at spec
tator in Coroner Feinberg's court on Fri
day.
Mr.. Koelble said that the 500 fee
awarded by the state in all capital cases
would not cover the expenses incidental
TO a defence Of Schmidt as an insane per-
son.
II is considered doubtful If the expenses
OF Schmidt and possibly imported wit
ncsses would be allowed. especially in
view of the opinion of all connected with
Schmidts prosecution that he is sham
ming insanity.
Mr.. Koelble was angry with Coroner
Feinherg for insisting on the presence OF
Schmidt during the inquest. koelble said
IL was an absolutely needless procedure
and added he aid not think 1t would add
70 Coroner Feinberg's fame.
He also characterized as uncalled for
the Coroner's appeal to his wealthy jury
for funds to save the priests victim from
burial in Pottcrs' Field.
A cousin of Anna Aumuller, Mrs. Joseph
IgIer, called at the District Attorney S
Office yesterday and said she and her hus-
band were willing TO give Christian burial
to their kin, and wanted to know how
much more money was needed. They
were 5old that the girls money, now with
tho Public Administrator, was more than
sufficient, and what was left would be
sent 10 the girls mother in Germany.
