The tragedy is ascribed to Kaximo Castillo, bandit leader. A spe­ cial train carrying 20 Americans, led by W. J. Farragut, 50 coffins and a res­ cue outfit left Juarez for ,the scene. The rescue train wae prepared early 1& the evening, but was delayed a short time by a telegram from Secretary of State Bryan, who instructed Consul Edwards to see that a soldier guard preceded it so that the Americans aboard might be protected from pos­ sible attack by Castillo. General Bena- vldes provided 300 rebel troops and these were sent ahead of the rescue pfcrty on another train. ' The exact number of persons aboard file passenger train is not known. First *®ports put the number at 35, but a rtauest for 75 coffins was made by a searching party led by Dr. F. C. Herr or Madera. ' 'Railroad men are furious at Cas­ tillo's act.

SCHMIDT MUST DIE FORMER PRIEST, CONVICTED OF MURDER, IS UNCONCERNED. Will Go te Electric Chair--Brutal Kill­ ing of Anna Aumuller. Was Com- . mltted on September 2. New York, Feb. 7.--Hans Schmidt, former priest, was found guilty of mur­ der in the first degree Thursday for killing Anna Aumuller, a young wom­ an he had married through a self-per­ formed ceremony while acting as a priest at St. Joseph's church. The penalty for the crime is death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison. He will be sentenced next Wednesday. Schmidt, whose defense was insan­ ity, laughed bitterly when the verdict was pronounced. He had steadfastly declared himself guilty and at his ar­ raignment before being held for the supreme court pleaded that he be pun­ ished by death. Later he protested against the insanity defense advanced by his council, and said he would not assist them in any way if they pre­ pared an appeal. This was the Second trial and the Jury was out a few minutes less than five hours. At the first trial the Jury disagreed. Alienists for the prosecu­ tion and defense supplied most of the testimony at both trials. A. G. Koelble of Schmidt's counsel asserted after the verdict that owing to the former priest's persistent si­ lence concerning the crime it had not been possible to place all the facts before the jury. He said Schmidt was not guilty of murder, but had shielded a physician after the wom­ an's death. She was not murdered, the lawyer declared. "Father Schmidt will never go to the electric chair," he added.
