ENOS IN DEATH.

Ends Like Candle Flicker in
Deck Chair on Baltic.
Western Ntwspaper Union News Service.
New York. —William J. Gaynor,
mayor of New York city, voyaging
over sea on the Bteamer Baltic in the
hope of regaining his strength to en
ter the three-cornered municipal cam
paign as a candidate for re-election,
died suddenly on the Baltic as the
steamer was within a few hundred
miles of the Irish coast. The first
news of his death, flashed by wireless
and relayed by cable from Europe,
reached his secretary, Robert Adam
son. The mayor had succumbed to
heart failure, the message said.
TI& death of Mayor Gaynor auto-
transferred the office of
mayor to Colonel Ardolph L. Kline, a
Republican, president of the board of
aldermen.
William Jay Gaynor was born in
1851 on a farm near Whitestown,
Oneida county, New York. He was of
mixed Irish and English ancestry. The
neighborhood in which he lived was
called "Skeeterboro." His was the us
ual life of a boy on a farm in a poor
country. He worked in the fields and
woods and did the chores. He went
to the little district school each win-

ter for a few weeks. He afterwards
went to the village school and the
seminary, and afterward taught school,
and finally achieved a good educa
tion.
Mayor Gaynor had three unmarried
daughters, two married daughters and
two sons, Mrs. Gaynor, with one of tho
unmarried daughters was at St.
James.
Hater dispatches from his son, Ru
fus W. Gaynor, who was his father’s
only traveling companion, gave details
which showed that the end had come
with shocking suddenness.
"Father died at 1:07 p. m. on Wed
nesday, the 10th," said the message
from the son, received by Secretary
Adamson. "His death was due to
heart failure. He was seated In his
deck chair at the time. I and the
nurse and the ship’s doctor were with
him. I discovered him unconscious In
his chair, though still alive. He died
about three minutes later without
recognizing any of us. .Everybody
possible was done, but he seemed to go
as a candle flickers out. Am all right
and am trying to arrange to bring the
body back on Lusitania, sailing from
Liverpool on the 18th."
That the mayor’s heart had been In
a weakended condition for years was
the statement of physicians who
treated him at the time he was shot
In the neck and almost killed by an
Insane discharged employd of the city
In August, 1910. They would not de
clare their belief that the wound In
flicted by the assassin’s bullet had led
directly to the end, but did affirm that
his general resistance had been
lessened thereby to a very great ex
tent.
Plans for a public funeral, to be
held probably on September 22, will
be made by the board of estimates.
Late advices from abroad say tho
body will be transferred from the
Baltic to the steamer Cedric, sailing
from Queenstown, or if that arrange
ment cannot be effected, to Lusitania.
Colonel Kline took the oath of of
fice and his first official act was to
call the board of estimate together to
lay plans for the public funeral serv
ices of his predecessor. Mayor Kline
then declared that during his shprt
term of office, which will terminate
on January 1, 1914,.he would carry out
the policies of Mayor Gaynor, so far
as he knew them.
LINK DENTIST
WITH PRIEST
WHO DISMEMBERED GIRL, BY DIS
COVERY OF COUNTERFEIT
ING MOLDS.
PRIEST RETELLS STORY
DR. MURET AND HOUSEKEEPER
ADMIT KNOWING ANNA
AUMULLER.
Western Newspaper Unton News Service.
New York, Sept. 17.—Inspector Fau
rot, who on Sunday arrested Father
Hans Schmidt, who later confessed to
having murdered Anna Aumuller and
cut up her body and cast It by pieces
into the Hudson river, arrived at po
lice headquarters having In custody
Dr. A. E. Muret, a dentist of 301 Saint
Nicholas avenue, and his housekeeper,
Bertha Zeck. Dr. Muret is being held
on a technical charge of counterfeiting
and the woman as i material witness.
It is said that under the name of
George Miller, Muret hired an apart
ment in West One Hundred and Thir
ty-fourth street, and that in this apart
ment were found plates and presses
and portions of partially-destroyed
proofs of S2O gold certificates. The
detectives allege that they also found
in Father Schmidt’s room at St. Jos
eph’s rectory, a plate from which coun
terfeit money had been struck.
Dr. Muret was arrested at his home,
which is in the vicinity of St. Joseph's
church. The dentist seemed uncon
cerned when he was taken into cus
tody.
Dr. Muret is thirty-one years old.
He was born in Chicago, but went to
Europe as a boy and studied in the
public schools of Berlin. He graduat
ed from a dental college there In 1902-
1903 and came to New York In the lat
ter year.
Dr. Muret said he first met Schmidt
when the priest_visited him to have
some dental work done and it is said
by the police that Muret told Inspect
or Faurot that Schmidt first broached
the subject of counterfeiting.
From far-off Mainz, Germany,
there came to Monsignor Joseph F.
Mooney, vicar general of the Archdio
cese of New York, a cablegram from
the secretary of the bishop, which
said that Schmidt had been declared in
sane there, and suspended by the bish
op. The message read:
"Schmidt born at Aschaffenburg.
Priest of the Diocese of Mainz. Ran
away from Mainz because of attempt
ed frauds; arrested by police; declared
Insane by court and discharged. Sus
pended by bishop for acts and for pre
senting falsified document regarding
studies he pretended to' have made.
Then left diocese.”
In his cell Schmidt told and retold
the story of his crime and how, after
the woman was dead, he cut up the
body with a knife and saw, and sank
it, portion by portion, in the waters of
the Hudson river, from the stern of a
ferryboat. "The Lord told me to do
it,” or “St. Elizabeth, my patron, de
manded the sacrifice,” were the only
reasons he gave for his deed, and he
invariably added: "God in His own
time will clear it up. God and Abra
ham know why I killed her.”
Mexicans Celebrate Independence Day
Mexico City.—“ Viva La Independen
ce; Viva Mexico!” was the cry which

ing of the first liberty bell.
