CONTINUED from page ~

but the others failed to start The gov
eminent has asked MIR. Schleicher to
guard it carefully This grape keeps
until March.
1t costs from $50 to- 500 an acre TO
start a vineyard and from $40 to $50
a year to maintain it.
Others are beginning to plant, and in
a short time there will be a large vine
yard interest here. Al Juliaetta, on the
Potlatch there are number of beau
tiful vineyards on the side hill in full
view from the train.
While the grape grounds Of Califor-
mia have the advantage OF less severe
winters. the Lewiston country has an
enormous advantage in latitude, secur-
ing an average Of three fourths Of an
hour more sunshine throughout the
growing season. The grape is a child
of the sun, depending largely for it's
beauty and it's flavor upon the extent
to which 1t is given an opportunity to
battle in the rays of the great luminary
Consequently the longer day of this
section contributes toward superiority
of the product of the Lewiston vines.
These are the conditions constituting
the foundation of the prediction that
the hills up and down the Snake and
Clearwater win eventually be dotted
with vineyards The possible vineyard
area reaches back a long distance from
the stream through the rolling country
and is limited only by altitude 1t is
thought that 1900 or 1400 feet above
sea level will mark the line Of success
full planting, but such contour will
embrace a very large section of the
country.
The only question TO be settled is that
of water supply. For much of the
country lying south Of the Clearwater
and east of the Snake this will be dis
! posed Of by the Waha project But. IL
there be no gravity system anywhere,
| it will be possible to pump water
enough for vineyards less than coo feet
| above the valley. There is to be an
| abundance Of electric power with which
| pumping can be done very cheaply. The
| water used on the Schleicher vineyard
could be pumped for less than SIS a
month, il there We're vineyards enough
to keep large pump in operation.

KNAPP THE STRANGER
ElECTROCu1ED At COLUMBUS
His Record One of the Blacklist in the Annals
of Criminal History. He
Died Unrelenting.

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
COLUMBUS. O., Aug. 19.--Alfred A.
Knapp, the Hamilton stranger was put
to death In the electric chair In the
Ohio penltentiary annex at 1900 this
morning. The electrocution was a very
successful one. Knapp was dead in six
minutes. He refused to make any
statement. A short time ago the muir
dered joined the Catholic church and
his last hours were spent in company
Of the priest who has been constant
visitor to his cell for several weeks.
In order to find anything like par
allel TO the case OF Knapp 1t Ia neces-
aary to turn back the pages OF criminal
history to decade ago when the en-
tire country was stirred up by the pub
lication OF the crimes of II. II. Holiness
the arch murderer who was executed
In Philadelphia. The similarity In the
careers Of the two criminals exists,
however. only in the number Of their
victims. According to their own con-
fsssions and sustained by the evidence
dug UP by the police both men were
guilty OF at least half dozen murders
and both managed to escape suspicion
for remarkable length Of time. But
Holmes at least had a motive for his
crimes. namely. to get the insurance
money Of his victims, while Knapp. SO
far ~ has come to light. went about
killing women and girls out of pure
nendish desire.
The Sive cases to which Knapp con-
fesaed after his arrest are as follows:
Emma Littleman. killed in lumber
yard at Cincinnati June 81. 1894; May
Eckert. murdered In room on Walnut
street. Cincinnati. August I. 1894:
Jennie Knapp. thrown into canal at
Libsrty street. Cincinnati, August Z.
1884; Ida Gerhard. strangled at Indi-
annapolis in July, 1895. and Hannah
Knapp. murdered at Hamilton. O.. De-
cember 20. 1909.
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1904-08-19

The crime for which Knapp was in
dicted in March, 1903, was the murder
of his wife. Hannah Knapp. Regard
ing this murder Knapp said that when
he awoke on the morning of the crime
he was seized with an impulse to
strange his wife. After accomplishing
her death he got box and nailed the
corpse up. He hauled the body two
miles and threw 1t into the Miami river.
Some days later the body was found
in the river at New Albany.
Knapp's trial lasted from June 20
degree murder was returned. A defense
Of insanity or degeneracy had been set
up without avail. A motion for new
trial was overruled and Knapp's at
torney took the case to the circuit court
which reversed the common pleas on
the grounds. among others, that the
state failed to prove, according to law.
that the deceased came to her death in
the manner alleged in the indictment,
the Only SNlucuCcS OcIIi8 SuS COuACce
sion, and that it was error to admit
this written confession and permit 1t to
be used in the argument. Later the
supreme court reversed this decision of
the lower court,
Though Knapp confessed to five
murders 1t Is believed that he was
guilty Of many more. Previous to his
final arrest he had spent two-thirds
Of his life In prison. but for the muir
ders to which he confessed he had gone
unsuspected until a few unguarded
words set the law upon him. For years
he had been a stranger, he admitted.
bouncing upon innocent children and
choking them to death. He was twice
in state prison for fiendish assaults
upon women. At the time of his arrest
for murder he was living with his
fourth wife In Indianapolis.
