KNAPP CONFESSES,
Pear TW» «snrM Mut Admit* Chefe
jmg Dm Wife te Death.
Indianapolis, Feb. 25.—A special *r
the Sentinel from Hamilton, O., «ays:
Alfred Knapp. who was arrested in
Indianapolis Wednesday morning »/,
brought to thie city on suspicion of
having killed his wife, Hannah God·
dard Knapp, Dec 22. last, has confess
ed.
When it became public that Knapp
had confessed, there was much talk of
mob violence. Under a strong guard
Knapp was removed to the county Jail,
wbere he now is under a special guard
The authorities believe they will have
no trouble In keeping him. Knapp
admitted to Director of Police Mason.
Captain Lenthan and Mayor Bosch
that he choked his wife to death on
the morning of Dec 22. but says that
he don 't know why he did It. He says I
that he thon came up town, hired a
spring wagon, secured a wooden box
from one of the shoe stores and drove
back home. There he stuffed the body
Into the bo*, being obliged to double
It up in order to get the lid down He
then drove to Lldenwald. about two
mile· south of thN city and crossed
over to the Miami river just west of
Kindenwald. Reaching a high bluff
ov«-r the river he dumped the bo* con
taining fhe body Into the water and
drove back to town. Knapp was tak
en In hand by the police Wednesday
morning, ami ordered to lake them to
the place where he had thrown the
body.
Knapp also told Chief of Police Ku
emmerling that 1:»· had something, else
on bis mind that h< would tell befor»·
he died
"1 may tell It to you In the morn
inr." he *ald, "but I will not tell any
thing about It no» 1 cry every time
I think of poor Hannah, and 1 feel like ι
crying when 1 think of this other;
thing "
This statement is believed to be the
forerunner of a confession from the
prisoner that he killed his first and !
second wives, both of whom died very j
mysteriously

mors are afloat in Wall street concern
ng the St Louis and San Francisco
railroad, including one of competitive
buying for control by Morgan inter
eats another that the Seaboard Air
line is bnying the stock ami a third
that Rock Island intcreets are after

Official confirmation is lacking in
every cas'\ but conservative opinion
leans toward the theory that J P.

in control, in which event it Is believ
ed the property will turned over
to the Southern railway. There is
practically nothing to «how that Sea
board Interests are after the property.

that of President Yoakum and bis as

hotisf for weeks past and has held
numerous conferences there with
Oeorpe W. Perkins. Mr Morgan's part
ner. Some announcement concerning
thp Frisco la expected in the near j
future.
A report spread on the stock ex·
change that J P. Morgan & Co. had
purchased control of the St. Ix>uis and
San Francisco for the Rock Island
company. It was declared that con
trol had been acquired through the
purchase of a large amount of com
mon stock. According to these same
reports the price paid for the stock
was 33. 20 per cent in cash, the bal
ance In notes extending from six to
eighteen months. President Yoakum,

Co. refusal to confirm or deny the
report Mr Perkins of the Morgan
with whom Mr. Yoakum had been in
