In Home ways the sermon was per
haps the greatest the minister has
preached up to this time. While he
dwelled less on the value of eternal
life to a man, he considered the
side of Christ's teaching which di
rects men to ho altruistic and broth
erly principles. This in one side
that is altogether too much neglect
ed by ministers, for the records of
Christ in t he Mlhlo spend three
fourths of tiieir accounts on man's
duty to man, and vw than one-fourth
to the things of the hereafter.

I STOP, AT
a Hotel Grand
j Ni;W YORK, Dec. 8. After sev
i era I postponement!!, tho Huv. Father
I JiaiiH Schmidt, Human C'aihoiic priest
j who confessed to miirdereiiig Anna
Aumuelier today went to trial before
I Judgu Warren W. Foster. Father
Schmidt's crime was ono of the must
bensaiiouul in New Yolk criminal
Juslory. Only by clever detective
work was Detective Inspector l-'aurot
able- lo arrest Schmidt in the parisii
home of St. Joseph's Roman Catho
lic church, where he was an assist
ant priest. A .vnman'a toiso was
round tied in a pillow slip on the
Jersey side of the Hudson on Sep
tember 5. A faint leaf-shaped mark
on one shoulder afforded si-ant cluu
that the victim's identity ever would
be unearthed. A few days later the
lower part of tho torso from the:
waist to the thighs was found in a:
similar piliow slip, which bore thej
trade mark of Robinson-Rogers Co.,
and the number H'.i, The company
bad made but twelve or these pillow
j slips. They had been sold to a relai
i er named Sachs, who furnished the
J police with the names of those to
whom he bad sold them. One of thi;
purchasers was found to have bought
! also two pillows, a chair, bedsprins
and a white enameled lied, which
! ban boon moved to a four-room part-
inent at fiS Hradhurst avenue, which
I bad been leased in the name of Hans
1 Schmidt. I n the mean time tin au
topsy had showed the woman had
been subjected to u criminal opera-
tion, and the motive of the crime was
thereby known. For five days and
i infills the Itriidhui'st avenue apart-
ment was watched and then the po
lice broke into it.
There was no doubt the crime had
beau committed there, for the place
was smeared with blood. Itcsides
the furniture were a packet of letters
addressed to Anna Aumuelier and
two trunks. A coat hung In the clos
et with a letter to Anna Aumuelier.
and a photo;; 'a ph ol Hans Schmidt
in the pocket, in the bathroom were
a butcher knife and a large carpen
ter's saw. In the letters were con
tained the addresses of three places
where the tfirl had worked. One of
these was St. Joseph's rectory. The
police went, to the tit her daces first.
Father Schmidt met them at the door
of the last place. He attempted sui
cide, and then confessed. I le Haiti
ho killed the Kirl on Hie niht of Sep
tember 2, returned to his priestly
tint it's nd I be next night curried
one portion of the body to I lit river.
Tho next day he nave parishioner.-. ,
confessional and that nii;ht took ano-,
ther' part of the body to the river. I
This was continued until tht! body1
was disposed of. Then he carried the
bed-clotbinK to a nearby lot and
burned them. All his confessions ;
were corroborated and the priest de-;
dared he had been commanded by j
(ittd to consummate his "love sacri-1
rice In blood." At his first he.uirm,
ho throw his rosary in tho face of
bis attorney. His defense, accord-j
Iny to his attorneys, will bo in-mn-.
Ity. Tho terrible feature of the nitir-l
der was that the nirl was cut to pieces,
while she was still alive.
