They went to the OdelL house. There
they found Mr. and Mrs. Odell, they say,
with suitcases already packed and ready
to depart. They we're arrested.
And when the pair were put through an
examination they told story. the Roch-
ester police authorities assert, that has
no parallel either in. detective fiction or
the literature Of crime. At FIRST the youth
full husband took upon himself all blame.
Later the young bride controverted him
and confessed, the police say, that 1t was
she who had so mutiliated Kneip's body.

der.
According to the confessions which the
Rochester authorities say the Odells made
to them and other evidence they claim to
have secured they have reconstructed the
tragedy as follows:
Pearl Beaver, precocious, developed
more than Is usual for her age, met young
Kneip when she was barely sixteen. She
liked him. A romance was in progress.
Then, she says, he wronged her. Beyond
her word there is, however, no evidence
of this statement. .....
Not long after came to Rochester
James Odell. He met Pearl Beaver. The
two loved each other, and after a brief
courtship they we're married. ...
Before the ceremony the bride had told
Odell OF her affair with Kneip. The two
men, husband and former lover, had never
met. As the days of the honeymoon went
by, instead of the peace and Joy that are
supposed to I'll a brides heart during that
enchanted period, there grew in her an
intense desire for revenge. II turned into
an obsession, fixed idea that became
ever stronger
She planned, the police say she has con-
fessed. the details OF that revenge with
her husband.
The day before Kneip's body was dis
covered Odell called at the place he was
employed He showed a police badge.

Again Kneip was overpowered; lay
stunned.
Then he was stripped. His head was
smashed In with heavy stick, his body
cut and mutilated. Not for an instant
does the frenzied, vengeful fury Of his
slayer seem to have abated.
The body was dragged to the bridge
and pitched over the side. The clothing
was rolled in a bundle and hidden beneath
a bank some distance away. A snow had
begun to fall II 1t kept up as 1t promised

The prosecuting attorney of Rochester
says that Mrs. Ella Odell Arnold, the hus-
bands mother, told him that at 1880 on
the morning after the murder, Mrs. Odell

stained garments were found at the
Odell home.
Both Odell and Mrs. Odell talked freely
to police and to newspaper men before
their attorneys warned them to be silent.
Odell himself, after his first statement to
the police, has made every effort to shield
his bride and to take all blame upon his
own shoulders.
When the two were allowed to meet In
the Jail they showed the deepest affection
for each other. They had planned, It ap-
pears, to leave Rochester Immediately and
to lose themselves in the Pennsylvania
coal regions. But for the cessation OF the
snow they might have accomplished this

To Make Spectacular
But Dignified Effort
To Free Eugene Debs

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 20-Now that Eu-
gene Debs has announced his cam
didacy for president of the United
States, said announcement coming
from the cell he is occupying in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta, his
fellow socialists consider it woula
be awkward if he were elected and
found himself unable to appear for
Inauguration because of being un-
avoidably detained in prison.
Announcement was made that
xspectacular, but dignified" effort
will be made to secure his pardon.
The national socialist headquarters
has the matter in charge and the
demonstration will be staged in
Washington. The parade will include
a stop at the White House for a
prearranged conference with Mr..
Wilson. General amnesty will be
asked for all socialists and radicals
now in prison and under sentence.
Dispatches from Washington this
week announced that the Depart
ment of Labor had TUNED loose a
large number of radicals held for
deportation, among them some Of
the most rabid and dangerous in the
country. So Mr.. Debs and his friends
hope they may secure his freedom
and also get all his followers out of
jail in time to enter into the CAM
paign.
