at Mitchell Field, where Knapp was a
private, told the authorities that Knapp
once confided to fellow private that
if he should ever leave the field sud-
denly he intended to go to Alexandria
Bay on Wellesley. Island. He said that
he would seek refuge among friends
there with whom he had once been en-
gagged in rum running over the Canadian
border.
Nassau county detectives engaged in
the search said that they believed
Knapp was nearly out of money, since
all he had when he deserted from,
Mitchell Field was 500 realized from
the sale of Penella's cab.

lieved Knapp was legally sane, despite
his apparently abnormal temperament.
