wife last July. After committing the
crime Schidlofski disappeared and a
long time elapsed before he was fin

an appalling horror of the possible
consequences, although he claimed in
his frequent confessions that he had
a right to kill the woman because she
had betrayed and lied TO him. De
spite his strange conduct eminent

clare that he is perfectly sane.
