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.
