DIR. KNAbE KNEW
HER MURDERER
Theory of Police and Coron-
er Seems to Be Well
Founded

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 2S-That a
man holding a handkerchief to his
face was seen to emerge from the rear
Of the apartment house in which DR..
Helen Knabe lived at 2 o'clock last
Tuesday morning. about the hour
which the physician met her death,
was the newest development today in
the police Investigation. The infor-
nation was supplied by j. c. Carr, a
barkeeper. who said as he was going
home and turned into the street at
the corner Of DR.. Knabe's apartment
he heard two faint screams, and as he
approached the alley at the rear of
the building, man with handker-
chief to his face, came out, passed him
and hurriedly disappeared around the
street corner.
IF DR.. Knabe was murdered, as ap-
pears, I am satisfied she was murder
acquainted and that she voluntarily let
this person into her apartment. But
the theory of suicide still will not let
itself be neglected"
With this statement Captain WILL
liam Holtz. chief Of the detective de-
partment, aymmed up the result of the
days activity of the police in the in
vestigation OF the circumstances of
her death.
Il cannot see anything but murder
in this case" said DR.. C. o. Durhsm m,
coroner of the county, who began his
inquest today. "The instrument Of
death was not found, and circum-
stances indicating suicide appear to
be negligible"
Captain Holtz said he did not intend
to reflect upon the character of DR..
knabe in saying he believed she knew
her murderer, II she was murdered.
"Dr. Knabe's reputation was unblem-
ished." he said, land she lectured to
young women and men on the neces-
sity Of social purity. as well as on ply
sical culture and hygiene. But there
Is number Of positive motives for
her murder. 1t is certain that rob.
berry was not one of them, and ply
siciens have decided that personal as
sault was not committed.
The heavy street dust that had
settled upon the outer sills Of the
windows of DR.. Knabe's fiat was un-
disturbed when our men examined
them. The electric lights in the bed
room were burning when DR.. Knabe's
body was discovered. These are only
q few Of the indications that lead me
to believe that she knew the person
who killed her. II she did not com
NIT suicide. But we are working on
the murder theory"

whose examination is unconpletcd.
were all that We're left out of the
venirc Of 125 men summoned on the
Mcnamara murder trial when court
opened today.
Only forty-flve talcsmen have been
examined since the trial began, tho
remainder having been wecd@d out in
the prelimina" examination conduct
ed by Judge Bordwell.
More than any otllor cause, objec-
tion on the part of talesmen to find
ING verdict of guilty on circumstan-
tai evidence in a murder retarded
progress in obtaining a jury to try
lanes 3. Mcnamara for the RESPONSE
blllty for the death of Charles ]. Hag-
erty, Eachinist, killed in the Los
Angeles Times explosion Z year ago.
Just how to obtain more venire-
men was question discussed by the
opposing counsel last night. While
the defense declined to state its po-
sition. 1t was said that objection
might be raised to taking veniremen
from other branches of the superior
court. C., Tho alternative seemed to be
the summnning of new venire,
which might take days. This course
was considered unlikely.
The days work with talesmen to-
day resulted in four challenges and
four excuses.
The courts action in excusing Ven

of the careful distinctions which are
coming to be frequent in the trial
While in no way rejecting on Null

could give fair trial. Judge Bordwell
ruled that there was doubt in tho
mind Of the court as to whether Null

benefit of this doubt went to the de-
fondant.

MiiWa1Ate, Wis, Oct. 26--Secacse
Senator Isaac Stephenson was reputed
to be worth $30,000,000, some of his
political workers thought they ought
to be paid for their time and this was
the reason it cost the senator so much
to secure the nomination at the pri-
maries in 1908, according to testimony
before the senatorial investigating
committee today.

sons campaign manager in the county
he expended $11.S0O.
Why did you have to spend so
much money in one county?" asked
Senator w. B. Hepburn. the chair
man.
Because other candidates were
spending lot. We felt we had to
meet them
Was it a question of matching dol
lars If the senator received 5000 votes
in the county his campaign expenses
appear to have been 50 for every vote.
Is that right?"
That's right. If Senator Stephen
son was a poor man his workers
might have campaigned for him for
rich and was said to be worth $780,
100000 it was thought only right that
those who worked for him should be
paid for their work."

son received only third place. In the
entire state he admittedly spent $107,-
