8oyd Perry Drives Motor Robber
From Garage—Believed Mem
ber of Daring Band.
The operations of the gang of au
tomobile thieves that has been in
festing Atlanta for the past two weeks
were checked early Monday morning
when Boyd Perry, 589 North Boule
vard, general agent of the National
Surety Company, opened fire with a
revolvet on a burglar who was try
ing to run his automobile out of the
garage. The bullet mirsed the in
truder, and put a hole in the gasoline
tank of the automobile, but it did the
work.
The attempt made to steal Mr. Per
ry’s car was one of the boldest the
gang has made. Mr. Perry was
awakened shortly after midnight by a
noise in his garage, and looking out
of a window saw a’ man trying to
force open the door. Failing in that
the burglar went to a Vindow at the
side of the garage, raised the sash
and climbed in.
Mr. Perry secured his revolver and
went outside. As he approached the
garage he heard the burglar trying
to open the door from the inside. Mr
Perry fired a shot through the door
of the garage, and then opened the
door and rushed in. As he entered
the man scrambled through the win
dow and escaped.
Call Officers Anderson and Watson
made an investigation, but failed to
find any trace of the burglar. The
police think the man is a member of
ihe gang that has been stealing auto
mobiles from garages and from in
front of office buildings for several
weeks.
Dairy Agent Protests
Slaughter of Calves
If the .Southeast is to become the
great cattle-growing section It shouifl,
in view of its natural advantages,
farmers must quit selling their fe
male and immature stock, declares
nr. C. M. Morgan, dairy agent of the
Southern Railway. He also sounds a
warning against a continuation of
he wholesale deportation of cattle
from the South.
•Karmers should keep their heifers
and build up the quality of their
stock by the use of pure bred bulls of
dairy or beef type as desired,” says
Dr. Morgan. “This is the only way to
increase the number or the quality of
battle in the Southeast. The scarcity
,f cattle is world-wide, and it will
never be possible to secure enough
pure bred cattle to develop the indus
try in the Southeast.”

Detective Harry Scott. Atlanta
agent of the Pinkertons, said Mon

robber who looted the Southern or the
Adams Express Company of $72,000
in transit from New York to Savan
nah and South Georgia banks had
narrowed down to two or three ex
press employees, who were being kept
under special surveillance. He an
ticipated an arrest during the day.
The centering of suspicion on par
ticular employees has not caused the
detectives to relax their vigilant'
On the contrary, the closest sort of a
watch is being kept on every em- j
ployep of both companies who by ’.he
most remote possibility might have j
been connected with the hold theft.

begins spending money freely lie will
be arrested as the man who stole .the

Weaver, of the Southern Express,
who returned to Savannah Monday
from a trip to Florence.
"We expect to make an arrest anv
time now,” said Weaver. “Every man
who could have possibly been con
nected with the robbery is under sur
veillance. Eveiy other man is elimi

"We are just waiting for him to
show up, and then we will get him.
He can’t hold out much longer. There
is either a woman back of it or trie
lure of the white lights. It is always
that way. He will remain under cover
for a little while, but he will soon
show his hand. It is human nature
for u man with that much money to
put some of it into circulation, par
ticularly with the kind of man who
would come by it in that way.”

dent Wilson was a deeply interested
spectator at the pastoral masque
“Santunry." in which his youngest
daughter, Eleanor, played the leading
part. The playette, by Percy Mac-
kaye, the poet, was a protest against
the slaughter of birds for millinery
purposes.
The President was a guest of Mis*
Eleanor and her sister Margaret. A
lyrical prelude to the masque was
sung by .Miss Margaret. But upon
the younger sister devolved dramatic
necessities which indicated she is
possessed of rare stage talent.
With soft, appealing tones Miss
Wilson, as ornis, tin bird spirit,
ploaded with th© hunter to forsake

followed by a sudden full of Ornis,
marked the climax of the piece.
Wounded and sobbing. Ornis is con
soled by the fauns, poet, dryad and

the hunter to a birdlpver.
The President’s daughter spoke her

A
Young Woman Slain in Fiat, Dis

Piece to Hudson River.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—The Rev.
Hans Schmidt, assistant pastor of 8L
Joseph's Catholic Church, at One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and
Morningside avenue, self-confessed
murderer of Anna Aumuller, the
young Hungarian girl whose dis
membered body was picked up in the
Hudson River last week, is a prisoner
In the Tombs, his first night, accord
ing to the attendants, being passed iu
sound sleep.
He was up early and looked greatly
strengthened for the ordeal of this
afternoon, the viewing of the parts of
the beautiful girl's body.
This step is necessary for pun*
prises of identification, and at its con*
elusion Coroner Fienburg will confer
with Assistant District Attorney
Murphy regarding the inquest.
The horror of the crime has stirred
New York as no other murder in
years.
Police Are Astounded.
That this man, exercising the func*
tions of a priest of the church, should
steal into th© fiat he had apparently
rented solely for the purpose of kill
ing the girl, whom he had married,
performing the ceremony himself, and
put to death the beautiful young
Hungarian girl, soon to become a
mother, and then, while her body
was yet warm, cut it into nine pieces
and carry them one by one through
one of the principal streets to a ferry
where he threw them into the rivei*
passes the comprehension of the po
lice.
The pretentious apartment house a|
No. 68 Broadhurst avenue, not fat*
from the church, was the seen© of*
the murder, and it is a remarkable
commentary on the selfishness and
iiving-to-self life of Now York that;
the girl was murdered and cut t®
pieces without any person of the 24
families living in the building bavin#?
an inkling of the tragedy. It was on
the third floor of this building, in n
rear four-room flat, that the crime
was committed on the night of An*
gust 31. '
Find Death Knife in Flat.
There the detectives, headed by lira
spector Joseph Faurot, head of thd$
New York Bureau of Detectives^
found a butchers’ knife, with its ten*
inch blade as keen as a razor, and
a carpenters’ saw, the implements
with which Schmidt confessed hq
slew and dismembered Anna An*
muiler, as w r ell as photographs and
tell-tale letters which the priest, had
failed to take away when he cleaned
up the fiat after the butchery.
Through these the police were led
to St. Boniface’s rectory, and from
there, under the direction of Father
Braun, the parish priest, to St. Jo-»
seph’s in Harlem, where the captur©
of the murderer-priest was aecoms
plished.
Schmidt's collapse and confession
came the instant he recognized th®
picture of his victim which the po
lice exhibited to him, and realized
the meaning of the detectives' pres**
ence in the rectory.
The tale of horror and bloodshed
fhat the priest told held even th®
veteran detectives spellbound and
aghast. More than once they were
on the point of refusing to believ®
that the priest was telling the truth,
but the evidence he offered against
himself wan too convincing to be de*
nied.
