SCHMIDT MUST Die
FORMER PRIEST, CONVICTED OF
MURDER, is UNcoNcERNED.
Will Go to Electric Chair-BrutaI Kill
ing of Anna Aumuller, Was Com.
mitted on September 2.

New York, Feb. 7.-Hans Schmidt
former priest, was found guilty of mur.
der in the first degree Thursday for
killing Anna Aumuller, a young WON.
an he had married through a self-per,
formed ceremony while acting as a
priest at St Joseph's church.
The penalty for the crime is death
in the electric chair at Sing Sing
prison. He will be sentenced next
Wednesday.
Schmidt, whose defense was insan-
ity, laughed bitterly when the verdict
was pronounced. He had steadfastly
declared himself guilty and at his ar
raignment before being held for the
supreme court pleaded that he be pun
ished by death. Later he protested
against the insanity defense advanced
by his council, and said he would not
assist them in any way if they pre-
pared an appeal.
This was the second trial and the
jury was out few minutes less than
five hours. At the first trial the jury
disagreed Alienists for the prosecu-
ton and defense supplied most of the
testimony at both trials.
A. G. Koelble of Schmidt's counsel
asserted after the verdict that owing
to the former priests persistent ST.
lence concerning the crime it had not
been possible to place all the facts
hpfNrn tho n CoiI
was not guilty Of murder, but had
shielded a physician after the wom-
ans death. She was not murdered,
the lawyer declared.
Father Schmidt will never GO to
the electric chair" he added
