    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

    This pic: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2448660225/ Is the Rev's mother & brother-in-law. Notice his mother-in-law is wearing black. Still in mourning for her husband.

    Interesting article, apparently the father''s death was labeled a suicide, even though he was shot four times, and was found with his jacket buttoned and no holes in the jacket. So he shot himself four times and then put on his jacket. After his death, the daughter married the Rev.

    Rev. Charles Emelius stood trial for the murder of his father-in-law C. August Jacobson but was found not guilty. Mr. Jacobson's wife and son Edgar were also tried but found not guilty.
