executed

Per: www.greenwood.com/catalog/C8553.aspx . Hans Schmidt was a Catholic priest and a killer. He was ordained in Germany in 1904, arrived in the United States in 1908 and was assigned to St. John's Parish in Louisville, Kentucky. Arguments with the minister resulted in Schmidt's transfer to St. Boniface Church in New York City. There he met beautiful Anna Aumuller, a housekeeper for the rectory who had recently emigrated from Austria. Despite his transfer to a church far uptown, Father Schmidt and Anna continued a romantic affair and, in a secret ceremony he performed himself, they were married. When he discovered she was pregnant, Father Schmidt knew his secret life would soon be exposed. On the night of September 2, 1913, he cut Anna's throat, dismembered her body, and threw the parts into the Hudson River. When the body was discovered, he was arrested and charged with the murder. A media circus ensued, as the New York papers became fascinated by the priest and his double life. After feigning insanity during his first trial, which ended with a hung jury, Father Schmidt was eventually convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. He remains the only priest ever executed for murder in the United States

quite a story

Another Bain/LOC photo of the murderer of Anna Aumueller, Father Hans B. Schmidt:

Anna Aumueller was the murder victim:

Most likely: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Krylenko But the image does not match. We need a third image to see which one is correct.

The author of the post at kevinspraggettonchess.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/nikolai-kr... clearly does think they match since he uses both.

Source apparently " 'Album of Revolutionary Russia' 1919 [?] www.marxists.org/history/ussr/art/photography/album/Rev-R...
see B-59's comment under

Original Caption: "N. Krylenko, Former Military Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Republic"

I removed the image that does not match from the WIkipedia article and substituted in the Bain one, since the text of the Wikipedia article matches the man described in Album of Revolutionary Russia, that uses the same image as Bain.

...In February 1900 Ceannt, along with Edward Martyn founded Cumann na bPíobairí (The Pipers Club). Ceannt's musical talents earned him a gold medal at the 1906 Oireachtas and in 1905 he even put on a performance for Pope Pius X. It is said that the main language in the Pipers Club was Irish and played a role in reviving Irish music. ... From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89amonn_Ceannt Ed. - The Pope performance happened in 1908 (not 1905). It was the Pope's Jubilee in Rome.

Fascinating (for me!) to hear what Uilleann Pipes sound like - youtu.be/aF3fW4Nox9U Also of interest - youtu.be/zzy0ncy32Co His brother [??] talks about him - youtu.be/8CmQrdlBrRM

In Drogheda during the week at the Fleadh Cheoil I saw a number of young people playing the Uileann Pipes with gusto. Eamonn Ceannt and the late Seamus Ennis would have been so proud!

Swordscookie Very few use the regulators these days. It’s a shame. I have an LP of Leo Rowsome. Mighty playing.
