Schiller and has so informed the De-
partment of Justice in Washington.
Captain William Ofley. too, has not
the slightest interest in Schiller, and
opposed bringing him here. District
Attorney Swami is not particularly anx-
ious to board and lodge the former
pirate and wants 20 send him. tempo
rarily at least. 20 Bellevue Hospital
He was lodged last night at Police
Headquarters, as it was too late to take
him before a magistrate 10 have him
committed 20 Bellevue.
Swami Suggests Mental Test.
Practically every one who ght have
jurisdiction over Schiller wished upon
them is preparing some legal means
Of passing him on 10 Delaware, where
he landed from the freighter Mstoppo,
which he captured.
II was said at Mr. Msrshall's Office
that Schiller had broken no Federal
law in this district, but that the Fed
eral district Of Delaware could assume
jurisdiction II his act was that OF a
pirate instead OF a mailman. II is con-
tended that the police took Schiller
from Delaware without proper author
ity and they may have trouble getting
him back there.
Judge Swami talked with Schiller
Yesterday for three hours. and con-
cluded that the pirate should be held for
mental observation. 81 never saw a
man with so little control over h,.o
self" he said 81 don't say he is IN
sane. but l believe his mind is affected.
! think he knew the nature of mis- acts.
II he is not adjudged insane here he
should be turned over 70 the Federal
authorities in Delaware"
Think Goritz knew OF Milleder.
The only excuse the county authori-
ties have for keeping him is charge
OF violating the Sullivan law. He IS
known TO have had revolvers in his
possession.
Otto Nilleder and George Halter. the
two G4man machinists Of Hoboken
who fattened on Schiller's piratical no
white elephant class. Halter came
from Hoboken yesterday with Detec-
tive Busby and dropped In" at Head
quarters. His chief concern seemed
20 be the loss OF Schiller. his human
meal ticket.
Halter laughs every time he thinks
Of Schiller. the good thing. He was not
arrested in Hoboken, as was supposed,
but was detained. On release yester-
day he came to Manhattan. where ne
freely told some additional details Of
Schiller's actions.
Otto Milleder seems to be the most
important one Of the two pretended
compatrio.s Of Schiller. He was ar
rested in the apartments OF Otto
Goritz. the Metropolitan basso, Sunday
night, and the police believe he may be
able 20 explain how he CHANGED TO be
welcome there.
Goritz has been conspicuously iden-
tilted with many pro-German enter
prises here, such as the German Ba-
zssr at Madison Square Garden. He
has been bold in his defence OF the
Fatherland. Hans Tsuscher. husband
OF Nine Gadski, who is now out on
$4,000 bail. on charge Of having set
on foot a military enterprise 10 dyns-
mite the Welland Canal in Canada, is
a close friend Of Goritz.
Goritz was in Boston when Detective
Bsrth found Milleder in a closet of the
Goritz apartment. Il is thought Goritz
may have known Of his presence there.
