Schmidt Refuses Visit as Murder Trial Proceeds
Hans Schmidt, former priest on trial for the Anna Aumuller murder, rejects a visit from his aged father and sister. The elder Schmidt wept in court as the proceedings continued and the father left the Tombs Prison in tears. The prosecution presents evidence of a premeditated act including body disposal in the Hudson River. The defense argues mental irresponsibility. Letters from the victim to Miss Anna Hettler were read, revealing a troubled relationship and requests to avoid mentioning Schmidt’s name.
