    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

    Impressionante!
  • Robert Carrier said:
    Isn't the photo upside down? Or did the astronauts specifically frame the photograph so that the south pole is at the top of the image? Or was the Apollo spacecraft "upside down" in relation to the planet?
  • Kyle said:
    It's not upside down for Australians!
  • Carles Escrig i Royo said:
    @rmcarrier1: yes, the original is upside down.

    This is the Maximilian Schmitt Military Tractor, converted from the Maximilian Schmitt Monoplane of 1914 for military trials at North Island, San Diego. The correct spelling is "Schmitt."
