.BONDSMAN ASKS
FOR REMOVAL OF
RALPH 7. BORING
Man of Many Experiences
In Criminal Courts Is
Party to Civil Action.

On the ground that Ralph T. Borino
has not properly aaninistered the es-
tate of his late brother Gabriel, ioint
application for his removal wassmade
today tl1rouNh the law firms of Beers
& Beers and Spafford & Mallette. The
latter firm represent the Illinois
Surety Coo who furnished a bond for
Borino when he was appointed admin
istrator of the estate Of his brother
on August 21, 1912. The deceased
brother left real esta ter in North
Bridgeport which, it is alleged Ralph
Borino, engaged David Apstein to dis
pose of. Apstein sold the property
but was unable to collect his commits
sion. Hence he has engaged Beers
& Beers to look after his interests.
SpGfford. & Mallette represent the
surety company who claim they have
not been paid for their premium on
the bond.
Borfno was recently arrested on a
bench warrant and taken by the state
police from a house on Water street,
charged with living on the earnings
of a 1eWd woman. The charge was
made in connection with a story of
the woman that Borino had arranged
to give her police protection by *ne
payment of certain money each
month. Borino secured bail shortly
after his arrest, was surrendered by
his bondsman and has since secured
bail again. He is believed to be in
New York.
Z The heirs to his brothers estate are
the widow, Mary M. ,Borino, and her
three minor children. Thomas, Joseph
and Angelo. Judge Miller today set
a date for the hearing as Feb. %, at
II O'Clock The estate is estimated
at 50, 500 for which Borino it is alleged
has never rendered any accounting.

MACHINISTS TO

MAX ANS CASE
Officers of Union See Con-
certed Move of Manufac-
turers in Injunction.
THREATEN TO CALL
GENERAL STRIKE
What's to Be Done Depends
Upon Developments of
New Litigation.

A strike mong the machinists in
every factory of the city will be call
ed, if developments in the disagree
ment with the Max AIMS Machine Co.
warrant the step, according to George
j. Bowen, business agent of the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
local No. 80.
'sWe'lI call a general strike, if neces-
sary," said. Mr.. Bowen today. 'gThe
Manufacturers association is backing
the Max AIMS Co. in this matter. They
are advertising for machinists and
when they get them they send them
to the Max AIMS Co.
eff we are pressed, Wen call out
every man in the city.
t'A11 this shows that it is time la
Dor men entered the field of politics
to obtain what we think are our
rights. If things have come to the
pass where manufacturers can re-
strain labor men from doing what is
legal, and may be punished on the
allegation that they did that which it
is manifestly impossible for them to
do, and which is Illegal anyway, it is
time we entered the game of obtaining
things by politics.
The allegations of the plaintiffs are
ridiculous, according to Mr.. Bowen.
He says the machinists pickets are
charged with doing things which they
cannot do, because policemen and
guards are there to see that they do
not.
The Machinists' local sent in a call
to the general executive board at
Washington today, for Frank j., Null
holland, the association counsel He
will come here if the conditions ap-
pear serious enough to him.
The picketing at the plant con-
tiRues,. according to Mr.. Bowen. Ar
gufnents on the petition for the tenn
porary injunction will be heard Feb.
23.
IA mass meeting OF machfnists win
be called for a week from Sunday to

William Seemar in a local savings
bank and George j. Coleman's funds
attached amounted to only $50. The

No Immediate Trial
For William f. Fair

It was learned today that William
F. Fair and Jack Deveraux of Darien,
charged with manslaughter in con-
nection with the death of Margaret
Fair, will not be tried at the present
term of the criminal superior court.
The state has not put it's evidence in
such a manner as would warrant an
Immediate trial.
This postponement does not. mean
there will be no trial, for it is said
that when the accused are finally
brought into court they will plead not
guilty and will fight the case to a fin
ish. They claim the state cannot
prove that the body found in the
Darien woods is the corpse of Mar
garet Fair, who disappeared after pay
ing a visit to her husband. Mean
while Messenger Charles S. Evans will
have the custody of the skeleton,
which will be one of the states ex-
hibfts.

Ossining, N. z, Feb 1S-Hans
Schmidt was electrocuted at Sing Sing
prison today for the murder of Anna
Aumuller. Sept. 2, 1913.
Schmidt went quietly to the death
chamber, accompanied by the princi-
hon, the prison chaplain. Leaving
the deathhouse he said goodbye to
those who remained.
When he entered the ~hamber, the
guards attempted to direct him to-
ward the chair but Schmidt gently
shook them off and insisted upon ad-
dressing the l. witnesses. The guards
desisted from their efforts and with
Father Cashon standing at one side.
Schmidt said:
Gentlemen, ask fogivenness on
all those I have injured or scandal
lied. I forgive all who have injured
me. My last wish is to say goodbye
to my dear. old mother
Schpidt then seaten himself in the
electric chair and the current was ap-
piled three times. Within a minute
he was dead.
He had spent the night up to mid
night in praying and talking with
Father Cashon apd slept from mid
night to 8 o'clock when he was awak-
ened. for breakfast. He would take
only a cup of coffee.
New York, Feb. 1S-When the
torso of Anna Aumuller's body was
washed up on the New Jersey shore
of the Hudson river there started a
search which has had but few par
alIe1s in the annals OF New York
crime. There was but one slight
clue, a pilIowsIip on which was en-
broid cred the letter "a" but it was
just such pillowslip as might be
found in hundreds of homes or stores.

ASKING FORG. VENESS OF
ALL. HANS SCHMIDT GOES
TO Death IN THE CHAIR

There was not even a laundry mark
| to aid the police.
With this slender clue, Inspector
F'aurot took personal charge of the
case and on Sept. IA, 1913, II days
after the murder, Hans Schmidt, an
assistant priest at an uptown church3
was arrested, charged with the crime.
An hour before the arrest the in
spector had broken into a fiat and
found a long-bladed butchers knife
and other evidence that the murder
had been committed there. Schmidt
confessed and his sole defense was
that it was a 'tb1ood sacrifice murder"
The body had been dismembered
and presumably all of it was thrown
into the river, although the head was
never found. Schmidt was twice p1ae-
ed on trial, the first jury, in Decem-
Der, 1913, failing to reach a verdict.
In 1914, he was found guilty.
Besides the sordid story of Anna
AurnuIler's infatuation for Schmidt,
the trials revealed that his was ca
reer of crime. He was engagedN1h a
counterfeiting scheme the day the
crime was committed, it was stated,
and CDR" Amurt, who posed as a
dentist was sent to prison for seven
years as Schmidt's accomp1ice in the
latter's scheme. 1T was found that
Schmidt also had posed as physi-
clan, that he had committed forgery
on numerous occasions and that he
had been guilty of various other acts
of fraud.
His attorneys pleaded their client
was insane. The slayer, however, al
ways contended that he was sane. He
took no active part in his own defense,
When he was convicted he thanked
the court and expressed a. desire to
be executed at once.
