THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1913.
FEARED EXPDSURE.
That's Why Schmidt Slew
Anna AumuJIer.
SHE THREATENED TO TELL ALL
Chief of Secret Service Flynn Says
Clergyman and Dentist Resemble
Men Who Flooded New Eng
land With Counterfeits.
New York, Sopt. 17. Developments
In the murder and dismembering of
Anna Aumuller nro:
The motive for the crime wns fear
of exposure, and not "for lovo," as de
clared by the Itev. Hans Schmidt, the
murderer.
Anna Illrt has supplied to the police
Information to support the conclusion
that Miss Aumuller was about to con
fess her relations with Father Schmidt
nt a meeting arranged for the very
day on which she was killed and hack
ed to pieces.
Coroner Fclnberg and Father Braun
nro convinced that Schmidt Is sane,
but a monster and a pervert
Inspector Fnurot has positively con
jiccted Schmidt with the dentist, Ern
est A. Murct, In nn elaborato counter
feiting scheme.
Schmidt has confessed that he treat
ed women ns "Dr. Emil Molllere, form
erly of Parl."
The assertion of tho dentist that ho
first met Schmidt in New York has
been shattered by tho discovery of pho
tographs of Muret taken In Mainz,
Germany! the place where Schmidt
fivas arrested for forgery.
Schmidt and Muret have been inti
mately associated sinco the former ar
rived in this citj- in 1910.
Passed Counterfeit Bills.
Evidence was obtained by secret ser
vice agents that Schmidt and another
man not only made counterfeit ton nnd
twenty dollar bills in a flat at 510 West
One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street,
but passed them In Boston, New
Haven nnd other New England cities
Schmidt, tho federal officers say, work
ed tho counterfeiting scheme with
"Dr." Ernest Arthur Muret, a bogus
dentist, who was arrested in n raid at
801 St. Nicholas avenue, where he
lived.
After conferring with Captain Henry
of tho secret service, in the customs
house, Chief of tho Secret Service Wil
liam II. Flynn announced thnt ho had
temporarily taken chargo of tho gov
ernment's end of tho counterfeiting
case. Tho chief made tho following
announcement:
"Tho priest and tho dentist resemble
nd nearly answer tho description of
two men who have recently passed
counterfeit twenty dollar bills in Bos
ton nnd neighboring places and in New
Haven nnd other cities In the vicinity."
Tho government agents have in their
possession thirty-five of tho bills pass
ed In Massachusetts and Connecticut
In tho majority of cases the counter
felts were given to bartenders in sa
loons. Passed on Bartenders.
"Tho bills of which I speak," snld
"Chief Flynn, "wero made by a photo
mechanical process. Two pieces of
paper, printed separately, wero pasted
together after silk threads had been
distributed between. The work was
not completely turned out on tho print
ing press ns far ns tho printing goes,
but pen nnd ink wero used to make
the counterfeits more perfect Tho
bills wero cleverly made, I will admit
that, but they wero not the kind of a
bill that would deceive, under any clr-
cumstancccs, persons expert in tho
bundling of currency.
"In tho case of bnrtenders and other
uninitiated peoplo tho bills would have
easily passed muster, ns tho men do
not possess the 'feel' which is acquired
by money experts after years of hand
ling.
"It will be impossible to tell whether
or not the bills collected in Massa
chusetts nnd Connecticut nro similar
to thoso run off in tho Harlem flat un
til I or my men examine tho plntes of
tho counterfeit bills tomorrow.
"At present tho whole matter is in
tho hands of tho police, nnd wo cannot
get nt the plates and recovered bills
just yet. You mny rest assured, how
ever, that I will take caro of this den
tist follow as soon ns tho plate la turn
ed over to us."
