GIRL, MURDER DUPE,
PLAN OF SCHMIDT
Convicted Slayer Priest
Prosecutor Asserts, Had Four
Schemes to Shift Blame.

The four methods by which Hans
Schmidt, who is now awaiting death
in Sing Sing for the murder of Anna
Aumuller, is alleged t. have sought to
defeat the law were revealed yester-
day for the first time by Acting Dis
trict Attorney Delehanty in the course
of the argument on the motion for a
new trial, before Justice Davis in the
Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court.
Schmidt now accuses DR.. Ernest A.
Maret, who is now IN Atlanta prison
for counterfeting Schmidt's four
schemes were:
First-To put the blame on Bertha
Zech. whom he now accuses of helping
DR.. Maret in the operation which he
says resulted in the Aumuller womans
death.
Second-To send Bertha Zech to
some country which has no eXtradition
treaty with the United States and
there have her make statement to
the consul taking the blame tor the
murder upon herself.
Third-To send some other person
there, if she refused to go, and have
him make such a statement.
Fourth-To have Bertha Zech put the
blame on DR.. Arnold Leo, who testi-
fed at Schmdt's trials that he made
an examination of the woman's body
shortly after her death.

fred Ennis, OF the Supreme Court Of
Indiana. seventy years old, discon-
tinued yesterday her suit for separa-
ton which she brought about two

Judge Ennis was arrested. The order
provided that there were to be no costs

"She decided to forgive and forget"
said her lawyer. With THIS yuletide
spirit shown by the wife, the lawyer
also explained that there was no none
tary consideration for calling off OF
the suit, and that neither George
Horace Lorimer, editor of "The Satur-
day Evening Post" of Philadelphia,
son-in-law of Judge Ennis, nor Mrs.
Lorimer had any part in the matter.
It was said that neither Mr.. nor Mrs
Lorimer were responsible for the 81 900
bond for the release of the judge from

Mrs. Ennis has decided to forget and

REPUBLICAN CLUB

Dinner TO Ex-PreSidents Is Cele-
bration of Triumph
co.. - a,
at Polls.

The Republican Club held Its thirty
fifth annual dinner at the clubhouse
last night in honor of its eX-presldents.
Eight of them we're present: otto /.
Bannard. Arthur l.. Merriam, Mortimer
c. Addoms, Arson G.. McCOok James
W. HAYES. the oldest living eX-presi-
dent. who held that Office in 1857 "a;
Robert c. Morris. Charles II. Patrick
and John Henry Wood. Frederick {.
Tanner. chairman of the Republican
State Committee, and Samuel :. koe-
mig, chairman of the Republican Coun-
ty Committee. were added guests OF
honor. James r. Sheffield, president
of the club, presided.
All of the speakers expressed conf
dence in the return of the Republican
party to power at the national election
of 1916.
Referring to the coming state admin
istration, he said:
"What is most needed here is little
common honesty. Payrolls have been
padded and the treasury looted even
beyond the extent that was revealed in
the campaign. The Republican party
if il hopes and deserves to live, must
set its face like flint against the sort
of thing that has been going on in Al
bany for four years.
Warren G. Harding. Republican
Senator-elect from Ohio, was present
during the early part of the dinner and
spoke briefly. He predicted victory for
the party at the coming national cleo
ton. Nr. Koenig expressed the same
sentiment.
State Chairman Tanner, in analyzing
the returns at the last election, said he
took some pleasure in calling attention
to the "swan song" of the Progress
sives. He created hearty laugh when
he said that John Ringing, Of Ringing
Brothers, who run the greatest show
on earth" told him the night after
election that he had sent the following
telegram to Colonel Roosevelt:
please save me two Progressiyes for
my show

DENIES RUMOR OF
STERN BROS. SALE
A. D. Brandeis Says Flour,
ishing Concern Has No
Idea of Quitting.

Arthur d. Brandeis, first. vice-presl-
dent Of Stern Brothers, yesterday dis
posed of rumors of contemplated liqui-
dation which have been circulating for
weeks. The fact that the report had
been published as a rumor in Boston
newspaper induced Mr.. Brandeis TO
speak.
In the beginning, about a month ago,
he said, the rumor was current con-
corning another firm whose name Is
similar. Within a few days the big
department store was startled with the
rumor as applied to itself. At that
time, said Mr.. Brandeis, the report was
so vague and its purport so ridiculous
that no member of the firm considered
it worthy of denial. Every inquiry
made concerning such a rumor, now
ever, helps to circulate the story.
The report as printed in The Bos-
ton Post" was as follows:
1.-The Post is informed that there
is a we'll grounded rumor in New York
that the Stern Brothers Company, the
preferred stock of which was brought
out in 1910, is preparing to liquidate."
Mr.. Brandeis was informed yester-
day that the rumor here had gathered
to itself the following details: That
the old property on 23d st. was a
weight for the company; that no goods
had been bought for two months and
that there had been no attempt as yet
to start the spring buying; that no
work had been done as yet on the
spring catalogue, which was generally
in the hands of the printer at this date.
al can deny absolutely any statement
that we are contemplating liquidation
or selling out" said Mr.. Brandeis.
"The whole thing is utterly absurd. |
am astonished that any newspaper
should print X. An inexcusable error
is the only foundation for the rumor.
I am told that the rumor was true. Of
p firm whose name is similar 10 ours,
and it was Immediately wished on us
"Those who think that this iirm
OWLS the property on Odd st. are mis-
taken. We held that property only by
lease. and the terms of that lease eX-.
uire very shortly. As TO the lack OF
activity in buying. | think you will find
that is true Of every firm in New
York, il not in the whole country, this
wear. The European war has had a
considerable effect upon business gen.
orally. We already had on hand a larger
stock than usual. and naturally, under
the unusual conditions imposed by the
war. carried comfortable stock much
longer than usual. So far as our
spring catalogue is concerned, IT is not
in the hands of the printer at the time
it ordinarily is simply because we have
charged our entire catalogue system
and now issue a catalogue every two
months. Our new one is right here
on my desk; it has been out only a
few days"
From another source il was learned
that new buyers had been taken on by
the firm recently. Similar denials
were made at tho Omaha Office of Mr..
Brandeis. A Chicago firm which, ac-
cording to one report, was to buy the
business denied the truth Of the ru-
NOR.
