The almost incredible details-how
the victim was dubbed and stabbed
and then left for dead, only to be
found later alive and conscious, and
how the finishing blows were given
and the body stripped-combined to
give the community such a shock as
IL never had before.
District Attorney Love already has
taken steps to combat the "unwrit-

State has ample evidence to show that
the crime was premeditated, and that
he could prove that Kneip had no
relations with Mrs. Odell after her

that Mrs. Odell began to manifest
concern over the fate OF her husband.
