Schmidt accord lug to the police reports, confessed, and at the time of his arrest attempt ed to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a safety razor blade. "i killed her because i loved her so much." Schnullt is alleged to have told his captors, but the police ver sion of the motive for the crime is that the young woman was about to become a mother. He had married her through a ceremony of his own performance without witnesses. According to the police and at taches of the district attorneys of fice Schmidt's confession was full and absolute. In it he is quoted as say ing that he killed his companion with a butcher's knife and cut up tlvo body with the knife and a saw. The deed was committed, the police say, shortly after midnight on Sept. \1 in an apartment in Hradhur I avenue. Gory Task in Bathroom.

According to Schmidt's con fession he went, through a marriage ceremony with the girl. In this cere mony Schmidt was both priest and bridegroom: there were no witnesses. A gayly colored pillow slip of un usual pattern led to Schmidt's appre hension. This pillow slip stained with blood and soiled with the filth of the river, was wrapped around a portion of the torso. The detectives traced It to its manufacturer; the manufactur er to the dealer; the dealer traced it to Schmidt. And the police, tracing Schmidt and the girl, knew all about both of them hours before they ar rested him. The priest, was dressed in full olerlcal garb when Inspector Faurot entered his rooms in the parish house of his church. The in spector produced a photograph of Miss Aumuller and asked Schmidt If ho knew the girl. Confessed to Hector. The priest, after a moment of hesi tation, inquired whether his visitors were police officers. Ho then asked permission to change his clothes, and it was when he left the room Inspec tor Faurot declared that ho attempt ed to cut his throat. lOarly today Schmidt said to the Rev. Father Huntman, rector of St. Joseph's Church, that he would hear no more confessions and when asked for his reason said: "I have something of importance to toll you." With Iiis superior, Schmdit then retired to the study where the latter told all that had transpired in the Hradhurst avenue flat, whore to-cording to his alleged confession, he murdered the girl. Father Huntman conferred with his oilier assistants, and it was agreed that the authorities should be noti fied. The police, however, were even then on Schmidt's trail, and his ar rest followed shortly. Schmidt was taken to the Tombs. The confession which the police soy Schmidt signed follows: "I mot Anna Ainullor two years ago at the parish house of St. Boni face church. She was employed as a servant there. I became Infatuated With her. I loved her. "I killed her because I loved her so much. She was so beautiful, so good. I could not lot her live with out, mo. "Could not let Her go I way." "1 had made up my mind that she and I could not live together. I was a priest and must remain with my ChUrCh, I could not. let nor go OAVa) from nie. So I opened the door of the flat. 1 awakened her. I told her I had come to fulflll my threat. Then I drew the knife across her throat. "I cut the body into six pieces. I made trips to the Fort Lee ferry, each time with a part of her precious body in a bundle. When the ferry boat reached the middle of the stream 1 would throw a piece into the water and when the boat reached the other side of the river l would return and go back to the flat. "After 1 had disposed of the body 1 wanted to destroy all evidence of the crime. 1 took the mattress on which 1 had slain her and carried it to a va cant lot and there 1 burned it. "I am .utility; that Is all 1 can say. 1 must pay the penalty. There is noth ing else for me to do. Hut 1 loved Anna Aumuller. Performed ills Own. "She wanted me to marry her and 1 procured a marriage license. She trusted me. "I am a priest and ordained to per form the marriage ceremony, so when Bho insisted upon a ceremony 1 mar ried myself to her. There was no need of any other priest doing it. It was just as absolute :.- if 1 had called in another person with authority to per form a marriage ceremony. She was my wife." Schmidt, after being assigned to 0 COll in the Tombs, went to sleep.
