NEW YORK, Bept 19. Detectives delv
ing further Into the past of Hans Schmidt,
tHp priest who murdered Anna Aumullcr,
sought today to fathom what waa In bis
mind lsst April when he photogrsphe4
the death certificate of Robert Smith,
one of his parishioners.
Photographs of this certificate and of
blank forms Issued by the Board of
Health were found In Schmidt's trunk.
The find led the police to believe that the
priest either was making preparations to
dispose ot the Aumuller girl or planned
other murders. They questioned hlro
about this certificate today, but his an
swers gave them little Information. The
priest has evinced a tendency to answer
all questions with the declaration' that
he was directed in his acts "by God and
Abraham.'"
To tho belief that . Schmidt planned
other murders, the police are more In
clined to the opinion that he was laying
plans last April to be rid ot the Au
muller girl. They say that a skilled forger
like the prisoner would have been able to
have the bodies Ot the victims buried in
any cemetery by tilling out counterfeit
blanks and forging the signatures. They
believe that Schmidt caused the blanks
to bs photographed' In order to obtain
exact copies, so that he might have du
plicates struck off in blank.

woman by that name had lived until
about month previously. There Is was
said that she had gone to Chicago and
that several letters hod been forwarded
to her, none of which had come back.
The finding of the photographed blanks
In Schmidt's trunk caused the detectives
to dig deeper Into the past of Ernest
Muret, the self-styled dentist Implicated
with Schmidt In counterfeiting. From
"London came reports that Murot had
been a fugitive from Justice since April
X, 1S11, when he was charged with having
falsely represented himself as Dr. Ernest
Stein, a medical practitioner. Thus far
Muret has denied alt knowledge of tho
manner In which Anna Aumuller met her
death.
Despite protestations of both Schmidt
and Muret, the detectives are convinced
that they are relatives, and today Issued
a report from Asohaffenburg. Germany,
Schmidt's native town, to the effect that
Muret is really Adolf Mueller, Schmidt's
cousin.

The photographs found In Schmidt's
trunk are those taken of the health de

causes last April. As a priest, Schmidt
visited htm twice before he died, tho last
time administering extreme unction, and
officiated at the funeral, How ho got

not clear. Mrs. Smith said that so far
