LIFE INSURANCE
MURDER PLAN IS
- BEINGPROBED
Panel for Coroner's Inquest
Into Death of Girl Slain
By Schmidt Drawn Tomorrow.
New York, Sept. 2 Evidence that
Hans Schmidt and "Dr." Ernest
Muret, his dentist friend, planned a
campaign' of. murder for the purpose
of collecting life insurance money,
reached the police, today. It tended
to explain the blank death certifi
cates found in Schmidt's room.
The evidence came from a nhvsl-
cian who told Inspector Faiirot. of
tne detective bureau that Schmidt and
Muret, a short time ago, tried to ar
range with him to issue death certi
ficates in the event of the "sudden
death" of persons Justu insured. ,
"I cannot divulge at this time, the
identity of the physician," said the
inspector. "If the story told by him
is true, the fact stands out big and
black that Schimdt and Dr. Muret had
a plan whereby they would collect in
surance. I am happy to state that
the physician flatly declined to listen
to their proposal."
The inspector said that with the
assistance of the Chicago police he
was trying to find if there was any
connection between Schmidt and
Muret and John Hoch, the "blue-
beard of Chicago" who was executed
in 1905 for murder of one wife and
suspected of killing- several others.
Schmidt was in Chicago in 1905.
"Although I may call it nothing but
a rumor, this coincidence," said Fau
rot, "I consider of sufficient import
ance to warrant thorough investiga
tion." ,
The panel for the coroner's inquest
into the death of Anna .Aumuller,
slain by "father" Schmidt, cut up and
cast into the Hudson river, will be
drawn, tomorrow. Coroner Feinberg
said he hoped to get a jury of bank
ers, merchants, manufacturers and
professional men.

that the housewife will have no fur

PRECEDENTS TO
BE ESTABLISHED I
IN SULZER TRIAL
(Continued from Page' 1.) -
Answering the argument that the
assembly exercised no -other function
out Judicial function, , Mr juarsnau
held that an impeachment was equi
valent to an Indictment and that the
assembly exercised noo ther function
than that ot a grand Jury.
"It will doubtless be argued that,
under our interpretation, the gover
nor could not be Impeached except
at a regular session of the legisla
ture since it would be unnatural for
Mm to recommend to the legislature
at an extraordinary session the con
sideration of the subject of his im
peachment. This, it is claimed, con
stitutes a reductio ad absurdum of
our contention. i
"That, however, is a complete beg
ging of the question. The mere fact
that the frame rs of the constitution
have not provided for the contingency
of the impeachment of the governor
at an extraordinary session does not
deprive the; clearly conceived limita
tions upon the powers of an extra
ordinary session of their undoubted
significance or render them ineffec
tual in whole or in part"
THIEVES PICK UP
SOME EASY PENNIES
Thieves yesterday operated upon
telephone booths, collecting a neat
sum. . The first place to be broken
into was the booth of the Western
Union office where the thief walked
into the noise proof compartment, cut
the wires and pried oil the coin re
ceptacle. Later they visited the
booths .in ,the railroad station where
the same 'tactics were pursued. In
each instance a number of clerks and
spectators were within a few feet
Advantage was . taken by the thieves
of the dirty condition of the glass
which prevents one inside from being
seen unless the booth is lighted. Ac
cording to reports from the Telephone
Company the total loss of the sta
tions reported will aggregate about $5,
collections being made from these
booths dally.

COW IS TAKEN TO
LOCKUP .PURSUED
BY UNFEELING MOB
It is not every patrolman who has
the honor of arresting a beautiful
specimen of the bovine family, nor is
it every officer who craves for that
honor, especially when the. cow ob-
ects most strenuously to be haled to a
place of confinement by the police
patrol. . This was the duty Imposed
by Captain Redgate today upon Pa
trolmen McGovern and Zehnder, who
after testifying in the city court were
impressed into the service when com
plaints from Washington terrace of
the cow's ravages upon lawns in that
section became strenuous..
It was a strange procession that
headed towards Lund's Livery stable,
and the jibes and taunts of the street
urchins as McGovern and Zehnder
seated in the back of the patrol tug
ged at the leading rope attached to
the cow's neck.
The officers feigned Indignation at
the rapidly forming procession of
street gamins until Patrolman Mc
Govern conceived the idea of awing
the multitude. The patrol was stop
ped and the officer discoursed upon
the functions of the sacred cow or
Thibet and the similarity between the
animal in captivity the uninitiated
kept at a respectful distance and
ceased their mockio&s.
