When the torso at Anna Auranller’a

There was not even a laundry mark
to aid the police.
’ With this slender clue. inspector
pFaurot took personal charge at the
case, and on September 14. 1913.
twelve days niter the murder, Hans
Schmidt, an assistant priest at an
5 uptown church, was arrested, charged
with the crime. An hour beiore the
‘arrest the inspector had broken into
a list and ionnd a long-bladed but-
cher’s knife and other evidence that
the murder had been committed there.

tense was that it was a b'lood sscri»
ilce murder.’
The body had been dismembered
and presumably all oi it was thrown
