lapse as His Trial Comes
TO End.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2e.-The case of
Hans Schmidt, the confessed slayer
of Anna Aumueller, went to the jury
at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Assistant District Attorney Dele
hanty, summing UP for the prosecu-
ton. argued that the prisoner was
sane and knew the nature of his
crime. He referred sarcastically to
the alienists retained by the defense,
saying that the nature of their tes-
timony depended solely on which side
hired them.
"A half-educated, half-ignorant.
near German philosopher. tainted
with hereditary insanity. who early
became over-religious.
Schmidt was thus described today
by his counsel in summing up. The
defense asked verdict of acquittal
on the ground of insanity.
William M. X. Olcott, for the de-
fense, said his clients greatest virtue
was a desire to help others, although
1t was not always directed in the
proper channel. He insisted that
Schmidt really loved the Aumueller
girl and wanted to marry her. The
prosecution contends that this was
not the case and that Schmidt mur-
dered the girl because she theatened
him with disgrace IL he did not make
her his wife.
With the certainty his fate would
be decided before night Hans
Schmidt, confessed murderer of Anna
Aumueller, today was on the verge
of collapse.
He has been unable to eat and is
showing signs of mental stress but
his counsel are encouraging him to
expect acqulttal.

WANTS NATION TO

DR.. Kelly Points to Case OF
Congressman Bremner as
Lesson.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 29.-No marked
change has yet taken place in the
condition of Congressman Robert
Bremner, of New Jersey, who is
undergoing the radium treatment for
cancer at DR.. Howard A. Kelly's sani-
tarium on the most extensive scale
ever attempted
A correct prediction as to the effect
of the treatment can hardly be made
In less than three, or possibly four.
weeks, it Is said. owing to the malig-
nant growth being near the heart, Mr..
Bremner's condition is at all times
critical, and, as DIR. Kelly has re-
marked in commenting upon the re-
markable case, the congressman's
courage alone has kept him up.
Not only is the amount of radium
being used in Mr.. Bremner's case the
largest in quantity and monetary
value that has ever been used in q
single operation, but it is also said
that the growth is the most extensive
that has ever been subjected to the
radium test. II was because of this
latter fact that the radIum was ap-
piled directly to the tumor by means
of eleven tubes inserted in incisions.
The usual method is to place the
radlum tubes at some distance from
the part affected by cancer.
DR. Kelly, who has returned to
Baltimore. said yesterday the chief
lesson to be drawn from this specific
case was that the nation should take
immediate steps to conserve its
