IN RESERVOIR

Death BY Foul Play-Body Found
By BOYS.

Medford, Mass. Sept. l6.-The body
of woman, fashionably clothed in
black, was found yesterday floating in
the waters of the Tufts college reser-
voir by boys at play.

was in mourning, and gave rise to early
belief that SHE had committed suicide.
But examination of the body developed
the existence of discolorations of the
face, below the eyes, around the nose
and along the lips were signs that blood
had trickied out. Whether this was the
result Of a blow from some person or
instrument or the result of fall or
contact with the reservoir bank had not
been determined last night.
Medical Examiner Thomas NJ. Dur
rell said that "there was nothing to
assist in identifying the body
Unofiiciafly, it was said that all iden.
tifying marks had been cut or other
wise removed from the clothing. Until
the autopsy, which Medical Examiner
Drrell will perform, nothing is to be
done toward determining the significance
Of these reported facts. The body was
that of woman about 3S years feet
6 inches in height, and weighing about
lao pounds, All her outer clothing was
black. Decomposition had begun, but
the features were well preserved.
The boys who found the body saw
ii floating in the reservoir, which is
on College hill just back of Tufts coll
lege buildings, about six feet from shore.
They rushed to a nearby drug store,
and Acting Chief of Police Ewell, with
several other officers, went to the res
ervor and recovered the body.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT
UNDER INDICTMENT
Pres. Hanley of Franklin College Charg-
ed with Assault and Battery on His
Aged Father.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. l6.-Ihe Rev
Elijah M. Hanley, president OF Franklin
college and leading Baptist minister,
late yesterday was indicted by the Vir-
go county grand jury on charge OF as
sault and battery, growing out OF his
attack on his father, Calvin Hanley,
last Thursday.
The alleged assault on Calvin Hanley
took place at his home near Middleton,
Ind, because of remarks made to his
daughter-in law and on account of treat
ment accorded Mrs. Calvin Hanley to
which the son objected. The father told
neighbors that he had been beaten with
a club and kicked by DR.. Hanley.
President Hanley, in statement is
sued at indianapolis Saturday, declared
that he had not beaten his father, but
had switched and spanked" him for i'll
treatment of his mother and other mem
bers of his family.
Returning to Terre Haute Saturday
night the Rev. Mr.. Hanley went to his
fathers farm, where, it was said, the
father begged forgiveness and the son,
kneeling before his parent, asked his
blessing and both pledged themselves to
work together for the happiness of Mrs.
Calvin Hanley.
"For 25 years" said Professor Hanley
in his statement, Il have kept my hands
off my father, but when | learned that
he had called my mother by an unspeak-
able name and wished she was sin hell"
/ could not stand it any longer.
Il don't think hurt him seriously.
/ tried not to do so. did not strike him
with my fist, nor did | use a club. |
wanted to be severe enough to warn him
for all future time, but not violent
enough to iniure him."
The statement tells of an overpower-
ing love for his mother, bitterly regrets
the "sorrowful deed" processes love for
his father, in spite of all, and wonders
if his action in whipping his father will
destroy his further usefulness. 1t con-
tinues:
Il have been brought to this sorrow
ful deed by his 1.-THE father'sl long con-
tinued crcuelty to my mother. ! owe

scHMIDT's FRIEND ARRESTED.
Held on Charge of Counterfeiting Early
This Morning.

New York, Sept. l6.--Inspector Faurot,
who on Sunday morning last arrested
Father Hans Schmidt, who later con
fessed to having murdered Anna Aumul-
Ter and cut up her body and cast it piece
by piece into the Hudson, early this
morning arrived at police headquarters
having in custody DR.. L. Muret, a
dentist. of 30l st. Nicholas avenue, and
his housekeeper, Bertha Zeck.
DR.. Muret is being held on a technical
charge of counterfeiting, and the woman
as a material witness.
1t is alleged that under the name of
George Miller, Muret hired an apart
ment on the top floor of 3l6 West l34th
street and that in this apartment were
found plates and presses and portions
of partially destroyed prof of $50 gold
certificates. The detectives allege that
they also found in Father Schmidt's
room at St. Joseph's rectory a plate
from which counterfeit money had been
struck.
DIR. Muret was arrested at his home,
which is in the vicinity of l25th street
and near st. Joseph's church. The
dentist seemed unconcerned when he
was taken into custody.
DIR. Muret is 81 years old. He was
born in Chicago but went to Europe as
a boy and studied in the public schools
of Berlin. He graduated from dental
college there in l902-3 and came to New
York in the latter year.
The police say that Father 1midt
was often seen in the apartments in
West l34th street with DIR. Muret. The
agent of the fat is also said to have
identified Muret as having been in the
apartment with Father Schmidt.
Inspector Faurot said he wanted it
understood that Father Schmidt had
made no confession duplicating Muret.

Thaw's lawyers won victory to-day,
when Judge Aldrich in the United States
district court suspended the proceedings
on their petition for writ OF habeas

diate deportation be removed IN the
event that the governor signed the pa
pers. The hearing lasted about an hour.
After communicating by telephone
with Governor Felker, Thaw's hearing on
the extradition proceedings was set Tor

And Implicate Confessed
Murderer in a Counter
feiting Scheme
COMPANION CAUGHT
AND is BEING HELD
DIR. Ernest A. Muret Has a
Striking Resemblance
to Schmidt

New York, Sept 10 Stripping from
New York's river murder its mysteries,
the police to-day barred nest of crime,
feathered, they claim, by Schmidt, the
confessed slayer of Anna Aumuller, and
DR.. Ernest A. Muret, a dentist by day
and by night an alleged counterfeiter.
Muret i under arrest on the technical
charge of having pistol in his posses
sion. He was arrested this morning att
er detectives uncovered evidence to show
that Schmidt was counterfeitor.
This evidence led them TO fiat rent
ed by man under the name OF George
Miller, in which they found all the es-
sentials of the counterfeiters craft. The
ianitress said that Schmidt and Muret,
the latter known to her as Miller spent
long hours together in the fat. They
said they were medical students expert
menting. The police say they spent the
time in counterfeitixg experiments. At
Muret's office the police found reyol-
yer, obstetrical instruments. surgical
saws, bone foreeps and other instru-
ments.
Schmidt and Muret bear a strong ply
sical resemblance, and the police believe
they may be brothers.
From far off Mainz, Germany, there
came Yesterday to Alonsignor Joseph f..
Mooney, vicar general of the archdiocese
of New York, cablegram from the sec
retary OF the bishop which said that
Schmidt had been declared insane there
and suspended by the bishop. The mes
sage read;
schmidt born at Aschffenburg. Priest
of diocese of Mainz Ran away from
Mainz because OF attempted frauds; ar
rested by police Declared insane by
court and discharged Suspended by
bishop for acts and for presenting fall
siiied document regarding studies he pre-
tended to have made. Then he left di-
ocese"
In his cell Schmidt told and retold the
story of his crime, and how after Anna
Aumuller was dead he cut up her body
with knife and saw, and sank it, por
tion by portion, in the waters of the
Hudson river from the stern of ferry
boat
"The Lord told me to do it." or "St.
my patron, demanded the
sacrifice were the only reasons he gave
for his deed and he invariably added:
God in His own good time will clear it
up. God and Abraham know why /
killed her"
Alphonse Koeble, Schmidt's attorney,
indicated that insanity would be the
defense at Schmidt's trial. On the other
hand. however, the district attorneys
assistants are preparing for quick
trial OF Schmidt.
They declare that Schmidt is a Grim
inal and not an insane man in the eyes
Of the law They say that his excuses
for his action are framed along the lines
Of religious mania, but that previous
to his arrest, his acquaintance never
had observed such mental characteristics
in him.

Aumuller in the Hoboken morgue were

ago Schmidt wrote that he reipioes to
think that he would see tnem soon
again.
Both of Schmidt's parents and other
relatives living here consider him alb
normal morally and declare that there
were numerous cases of insanity in the
family. After Schmidt's 10th year he
became unsociable and was unable to
agree with his superiors. He occupied a
number OF curacies during the three
years of the following 1904 but re-
manned only a few months in each place.
