FACES TRIAL ON MURDER CHARGE Head of Indiana Veterinary Col lege Accused of Slaying Woman Physician SOCIETY LEADERS BEGAN PROBE Evidence Points to Relationship Between Defendant and the Victim SAY ESTRANGEMENT EXISTED Indianapolis, lud., Nov. 17. Dr. Wil liam H. Craig, president of the Iu uiana Veterinary college, will be placed on trial at Shclbyville next Fri iia for the murder of Dr. Helen ICnal.o, win was on-- of the most prominent women in Indiana. Mi the morning of October 'Z I. I'.'H. Dr. Kna.be was found dead in her apartments with a deep wound in ln-r throat. Life apparently had been ex tinct fur several hours when the doc tor's oilice girl, Miss Kathvrine Mc pherson, made the discovery. The police made a, number of ar rests, but in the absence of any known motive for the crime, all the suspects were released. The public wps not sltislied with the police theory of sui cide and the case was presented to I wo Marion county grand juries, both of which failed to take action. In the meantime. Coroner Durham had been conducting an investigation of his own, and he leached a, decision that Dr. Knabe had In en murdered "by unknown persons." v Various rewards were offered for in lormatlon leading to the arrest of slayer or slayers, but these failed W bring results. Friends of the woi iaa finally ind need the local council of women of Indianapolis to raise a fund with which to conduct a further in vestigation of the mysterious case. Harry C. Webster, a private, detec tive mployed by the council, worked for nearl.v a year on the case and in December. 1!MJ. h" presented In '.re tho viand Jury infoimation on which the indictment against Dr. Craig was based. A. M. Ilagsdale, an undertaker, also was Indicted as an accessory fl e the fact.

In the alleged l'li tions if Dr. Knabe and Dr. Ceiic, however, he claimed to have fo:n. .1 motive for the crime. In his report to tin- Council, of Wo men, Webster reviewed the friei,o.-!:i;i between the two phvsicians, wh k-n began In l!ni when Dr. Knabe was assistant pathologist in the laborafni y tf the state board of health.
