STRANGLER KNAPP
He Is on the Stand in a Case Of
Which He Knows Nothing.

Hamilton, Ohio March 13.-Allen An
drews. counsel for Joe Roth on trial for
criminal assault on children this morning
announced that he had reconsidered his
plan not TO call Stranger Knapp as wit
ness.
Knapp was on the stand fifteen minutes,
but his testimony developed absolutely
nothing. He was brought in by deputy
Sheriff Bisdorf and looked better and was
more carefully dressed than at any time
since his arrest. Judge Belden told Knapp
that he was forced to answer no ques-
tions in any way discriminating himself.
Knapp in his examination spoke naturally
and frankly. He refused to answer moth
ing, but several questions were withdrawn
on the states objection Knapp simply
reiterated his former statement that he
did not know the Motzer children or fam
lily and that the first he heard of the as
sault was when he read it in the papers
next day. He insisted that he was in DR..
krones office when the assault occurred.
No light whatever was thrown on the as
sault and Knapp at 1880 went back to Jail.
