KNAPP THE MURDERER
He Confessss to Having Committed
Some Other Deeds.
CAREER OF CRIMINAL
The Man Stated That H. Had Re
peatedly CriminaIiy Assaulted
Women, Saying He Gould
Not Resist Desire.

Hamilton O.. Feb 27.-After con.
Tossing that he had killed five women
Albert A. Knapp admitted he had re-
peatedly assaulted women criminally
and killed some of them. He said he
met the Littleman child in the lum'
Der yard and assaulted her and chok
ed her to death when she made an out
cry.
He said: II went to the room with
the Eckert girl, sat down with her and
assaulted her. She cried and strang,
led her with a towel and hurried from
the house.
Il was mad at my wife, Jennie Con
mons Knapp, when l killed her. We
were walking along Liberty street. I
got her down under the bridge on a
pcetext and choked her to death |
deny that poisoned her. I never told
anyone l did. After she was dead I
threw the body into the canal.
Ida Gebhart l killed, but my mem.
CRY is not clear as to what | did
Il cannot tell what made me kill
these people. l could not help it. Some
kind Of desire to kill took hold OF
me and could not resist the tempta-
tion to kill am sorry for my crimes
but now hope they will be easy with
me-
After the confessions a formal cha~g e
of murder in the first degree was filed.
Knapp talks much of the Pearl
Bryan murder and is afraid of being
lynched. He does not want to be taken
from the county jail
Until prevented by his attorneys it
is expected that Knapp will make
further confessions. He is now sus-
pected of strangling three women at
Evansville, Ind, and to have assault
ed and killed women elsewhere. He
was in the Cincinnati house of refuge
when seventeen years of age and hew
records are being discovered almost
hourly.

told that no such amount was there.
the bandits applied burning torches
to the face and feet OF all, blistering

Teunyson and Truth.

One of the pleasaltest things that
Tennyson's niece has to say of him is
shis: II think no man that ever lived
came nearer than he did to perfect
truthfulness. He was often a martyr
to his determination never to say any
thing that was not strictly and abso-
iutely true, for none could be more
sensitive than he was about paining
people, and yet he would discard ali
smooth speeches that would have given
pleasure, but would not have been
quite sincere, and would just say right
out the wholesome, though sometimes
unpalatable, truth instead, feeling utter
" miserable for days afterward, with
the fear that in this moral surgery he
had not handled the knife as gently as
he might have done. Unless by his
keeping silence the cause of truth
would have suffered, he would never
mention any matter that might injure
a single human being, and he always
put the best construction upon peo-
pies words and actions. He was
always far more severe with himself
than with others and would bitterly
reproach himself for being brusque i'll
manner to untactful strangers and for
allowing fits of depression to get pos
session of him at times"
