PLEA Is INSANITY.
How Jknapp's Counsel VIII Try to
Get Him OF.


Hamilton. o., March 6.-Alfred A.
Knapp the self-confessed murderer,
was visited to-day by his attorneys
from Cincinnati, and they say they
cannot get ready for the preliminary
hearing this week.
There is no doubt whatever about
the defense pleading insanity, and the
first movement will be for an inquest.
His fourth wife, parents, brother sis
tiers and brothers-in-law will testify
that Knapp has not been right men
tally since he was kicked by a colt
when he was years old, and it is
expected that neighbors of Knapp, and
his workmen will testify as to Knapps
queer ways. In jail Knapp plays cards,
reads and is apparently the most cheer
full of all the prisoners.
His First Wife Died.
Terre FIaute, Ind. March, ct was
definitely learned here to-day that
Emma Stubs Knapp, the first wife of
Alfred Knapp, died here Dec. 8, 1892,
and her body was buried in Highland

A strong speech was next made by
Mr.. Pratt. who said:
This ordinance was not drawn for
the purpose of protecting the women
of the town, but for protecting the
boys and girls. ! care naught for the
signs over the back doors. The way
these places are arranged the patrons
can slip directly from the back doors
into the boxes. With the improve
ment provided by this ordinance that
evil would be obviated. 1t is the duty
Of this council to protect the homes
of the city-not to protect thugs and
pluguglies. think Mr.. Hands
amendment is all right. I understand
how the original ordinance may work
a hardship on hotels and restaurants,
and for that reason I shall vote for
Mr.. Hands amendment.
''The chief of police told me his
men had arrested eight or ten mi
nors for frequenting these saloons
since he came into office a short
time ago, and some of these minors
were girls. We have nine men pa
trolling the streets at night, and it is
unreasonable to expect them to be
able to see all the harm these places
are doing. Other members of the
police department tell me this box
evil is the biggest nuisance with
which they have to contend. If the
chief. the captain and all Of the men
on the police department could ad-
dress you and speak their wishes,
they would stand pat for this ordi-
nance"
Mr.. Burch then suggested that the
officer in charge be sent for, and
Sergeant Sullivan was brought up,
but before ne was able to deliver a
statement Councilman Funk put
motion for adjournment, about the
fourth motion of the kind put dur
ing the preceding hour, and the meet
ing adjourned until next Tuesday
night without hearing Sergeant Sulli-
van.

law should apply to places where
women of i'll repute resort. He said
he would vote to revoke the licenses
of places condemned by the police;
and Mr.. Pratt recalled to his. atten-
tion the fearful fight that followed
the attempt to close the Stockholm,
and told of the hopeless efforts that
had been made to take away the
licenses Of other places complained
against. Mr.. Lindsey said he did
not favor an ordinance that would
require a bashful countryman coming
to Spokane to eat In public dining
room with other people-people who
were probably better dressed than
the stranger.
HAND AMENDMENT LEGAL.
President Baldwin inquired with
much anxiety as to whether or not
the Hand amendment would be legal,
II laws could be made to govern the
saloon box and not the restaurant
and hotel box. and he was told by
Mr.. Hand and Corporation Counsel
Judson that the city could pass laws
to provide for the moral welfare
of the city.
Mr.. Lindsey then said he thought
It a fortunate thing that the saloons
had back entrances in the neighbor-
hood of Front avenue, but later in a
sarcastic remark to Councilman
Burch, who had Just pointed out that
the republican members were elected
on a platform not calling for the
adjustment Of doors and curtains but
for the adjustment of saloon boxes
altogether. said that he went into
saloons when he felt like it and al
ways went in through the front door.
Mr.. Hand took up the cudgel again
by explaining that his amendment
did not intend to absolutely abolish
back doors, but to prevent the back
doors opening directly into boxes,
thus providing an easy hiding place
for girls and thugs who patronize
the saloons.

The greatest side stepping exhibit
zion that has edited visitors to the
sessions of the city council in many
months occurred last night when
Councilman Hand offered an amend
ment to the Pratt ordinance doing
away with doors and curtains to
boxes where liquors are sold to both
sexes, the amendment being a propo-
sition to exempt hotels and restaur-
ants in the wording of the ordinance.
The side stepping was done by 4nem-
bers of the city culfrcf1 Who favor
the wishes of the liquor interests.
From the time the ordinance was
FIRST introduced the saloon men have
advanced the argument that it would
tnjure the trade of the Hotel Spokane
and Davenport's restaurant by work
ing a hardship on those places. At
one fell swoop the Hand amendment
proposed to remove hotels and restau-
rants from the consideration.
h4NOS4s6x AGAO6 xx0AVs
Councilman Lindsey, who was
elected on the republican platform
which called for the absolute abolish
ment of boxes in saloons, and who
was endorsed by the municipal party,
led the efforts to kill the Pratt ordi-
nance, and offered a substitute
amendment requiring the removal of
the sign Ladies' Entrance" from the
back and side doors of saloons. This
attempt at an improvement evoked
from Mr.. Pratt the statement that he
cared naught for the sign that was
over the door-what he wanted was
law that would protect the boys
and girls of this city. Mr.. Lindsey
also objected to the clause requiring
boxes to be kept open, and tried to
change that by providing they should
be kept open when occupied by
women.
