nell Scott, the young Albanian who

door several weeks with a bullet
through his left lung, is SO far recov-

History of Case.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1S-When the
torso of Anna Aumuller's body was
washed up on the New Jersey shore
If the Hudson river there started a
search which has had but few paral-
els in the annals of New York crime.
There was but one faint clue, pill
ow slip on which was embroidered
he letter "a" but it was just such a
pillow slip as might be found in hun
1reds of homes or stores. There was
not even a laundry mark to aid the
police. With this slender clue t1-
spcctor Faurot took personal charge
If the case and on September Ia,
|t914, twelve days after the murder,
Hans Schmidt. an assistant priest at
IN uptown church, was arrested,
charged with the crime. An hour
before the arrest the inspectors had
broken into a flat and found long
bladed butcher knife and other evil
dence that the murder had been conf
mitted there. Schmidt confessed and
his sole defense was that it was a
blood sacrifice murder" The body
had been dismembered and presum-
ably all of it was thrown into the
liver, although the head was never
'ound. Schmidt was twice placed on
rial, the first jury, in December, 1913,
'ailing to reach verdict, In Febru-
Try 1914, he was found guilty.
Besides the sordid story Of Anna
Aumullers infatuation for Schmidt
he trials revealed that his was ca
-eer of crime. He was engaged in
.oiinterseiting scheme at the time the
murder was committed, it developed,
md OR" A. Muret, who posed as a
lentist, was sent to prison for seven
qears as Schmidt's accomplice in the
alters scheme 1t was found that
Schmidt also had posed as a physi-
ian, that he had committed forgery
IN numerous occasions and that he
had been guilty Of various other acts
II fraud. His attorneys pleaded their
slient was insane. The slayer, how
ever, always contended that he was
sane. He took no active part in his
,wn defense. When he was sentenced
nc thanked the court and expressed
desire to be executed at once. He
maintained the same stolid COM
posure through all the various stages
of his case.
