NEW YORK. Sept. 15.— Hans Schmidt. aged 32, who officiated as a priest at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, this city, is in jail here to day. the self-confessed slayer of beautiful Anna Aumuller. aged 22. whose torso was found in the Hudson River, and whose murder was one of the most shocking in the criminal history of New York City. While Schmidt sits calmly in his cell, announcing in a matter of fact way that he is ready to pay the pen alty for his crime, the distinguished members of the Catholic clergy here, piecing together Schmidt’s rather dis connected story of hif» past, are mak ing efforts to lift the hidden pages of Schmidt’s early history in an effort to prove that not only is the man in sane, but that he was thrown into jail In Europe as an Imposter and that he never was ordained as a priest. Through as clever a bit of detective work as the police department here has ever experienced, suspicion final ly directed itself upon Schmidt. Ti^. officers could hardly credit their coiV elusions and were placed in a delicate position as to how to approach the priest. Finaly, howeverl, they went to the rectory' after midnight Sunday, summoned the priest from his room where he was preparing to retire and got him down to the reception room. Photo Breaks Him Down. Hardly had the priest stepped into the room when Inspector Faurot, wav ing the picture of the murdered girl before the priest's eyes, demanded: •■Where is that girl?" Schmidt gave one quick glace at the picture, staggered and almost fell. Then he said: ‘‘I killed her; I killed her because I loved her. Then I drank her blood." Schmidt was ordered to dress and accompany the officers to the station. He wanted tc go alone to his room, but the detectives insisted upon ac companying him. Schmidt asked per mission then to go to the bathroom, but he was searched first and a razor was found on his person. ••What were you going to do with tIiat Kill yourself?" Schmidt was asked. ••Yes.” he answered calmly; “I made up my mind to kill myself if I ever was arrested. But I never thought I would be." Schmidt after being taken to the police station, made a confession that covered about 40 pages. He said that he met Anna Aumuller about two vears before, when he was connected with the St. Boniface Church where Ml8S Aumuller was employed as a servant girl. • I became infatuated with her. ’ de- lared Schmidt, "and decided to rent flat for her.” He rented a tiny place at No. 08 Broadhurst avenue, paid a month a (>n , , n advance, bought a few dollars' Continued on Pace Z.

El.Oro and Back Bay Crackers’ Star Shortstop Drafted by St. Louis Browns—Sought by Twelve Clubs. Rivington Bisland, the Crackers’ sensational shortstop, was drafted by the St. Louis Americans Monday aft ernoon at the draft meeting of the major league clubs in Cincinnati. Twelve big league club owners put In drafts for the ' best inflelder in the Southern League," but the Browns outlucked the others when the draw ing was made. The following telegram was re ceived by the sporting editor of The Georgian this afternoon: Cincinnati, Ohio. Sept. 15, 1913. W. S. Farnsworth, Sporting Edi tor, Georgian. Atlanta, Ga.: We lose Bisland. Twelve drafts in for him. St. Louis Americans get him. BILLY SMITH. Welchonce Comes Back. Manager Smith is attending the ses sion in Cincinnati He had expected that Bisland would be drafted, as he knew that the Yankees, Browns, Naps, White Sox. Cubs and Cardinals had scouts here in Atlanta during the last six weeks of the Southern’ League season looking over the young short stop. The loss of BisJand by draft means that Harry Welchonce will be with the Crackers next season. Only one man can be drafted from a club. It looks as though every member of this year’s team will be back on the job with the exception of Bisland and Agler. Agler was bought by Jersey City, but the New York Americans are to get him in the spring. Dent. Long, Contfelman, Holland, Thompson and Love have “been cov ered up." There is a chance that Conzelman will make good with Pitts burg and that Dent may land a per manent berth with Washington. Bisland Real Star. Htlll both are young, and Clark Griffith likely will send both back for another year of seasoning here. Bisland was obtained by the Crack - era from the Pirates late last spring. He wan an understudy of the great Hans Wagner for two seasons, and. of course, had no chance to display his worth as long as the big Dutch man was In the game. He hit right around the .300 mark all season for the Crackers and cov ered more ground than any inflelder in the Southern League. Conductor Punched Him, Says Plaintiff The $5,000 damage suit of J. C. Adamson, a young contractor, against the Central of Georgia Railroad, for alleged assault by a conductor, was tried Monday morning in Judge Ellis’ division of the Superior Court. Defendant claimed he was struck by a conductor's punch following a dispute over a ticket book with which he wished to pay his fare. Judge John A. Powell, representing the Central, claimed the defendant was using an other’s book.
