man was suffering from hydrophobia,
and every effort was made to relieve
him, but with no avail. BE died Wed

spent the night with an uncle on his

Five hundred dollars, which Mrs.
Knapp had raised through hard effort
for the defense OF her son, John
Knapp, who is awaiting trial at Rich
mond, Ind, for murder, has been lost
in the wreck Of the Commercial bank
at Hagerstown, Ind. Knapp stands
accused OF numbering Lennie Geislar,
marshal Of Hagerstown. Knapp is
nov in Jail there, and his mother had
directed her energies toward procur-
ing enough money to employ attor-
neys. She finally collected $500 among
relatives AID placed the money in the
Commercial bank with John Bowman,
the cashier, who killed himself after
looting the bank. The money is gone
