by Spectre, He Tells Police
NEW YORK, June O.N.SO-
A murder for a thrill was solved
today with the arrest in West
Orange, N. j., Of Phillip Knox
Knapp, former Cornell student
and "black sheep" Of a prominent
Syracuse IN. " family. who con.
fessed to the police that he llilled
Louis PAMELA, a taxicab driver, for
the thrill he got out Of il. Knapp
told authorities:
81 don't know why / die it,
unless it was for the thrill His
(Panella'S) spectre pursued me
for nearly six years"
Sought Perfect Crime
In some respects, Kua BPS
thrill killing" complex was
similar to the strange Yaental
attitnde of Nathan leopold and
Richard Loeb, thg wealthy
Chicago youths, wi2o zset71e'tated
another thrill slaying1-the "ex.
perimental" murder Of l.stle
Bobby Franks tiesrly "a decade
ago.
Knapp thought ne could exec tie
the perfect crime vanish under
an assumed name. and avoid lie
lection. He was possessed q IN
uncomfortable desire for exc. e.
ment.
SeIf-deStructiOr he had cons d.
cred, he wrote in a letter da ID
June 26, 1925, about a week before
the killing of PAMELA. Hpt, as ne
expressed it, although the result
was desirable, the utter enjoyment
of facing death was absent"
Working As ssechan;,
After a worldwide search that
lasted six years, Knapp was
located early today in West
Orange, living under the name Of
Allen K. Phillips. Under this
name he had married Miss Flea
nor Hill, of Boston, soon after
the Staying of PAMELA. She told
the police this morning she did
not have the slightest idea that
he was guilty of any crime.
Knapp and his wife had been
living at the West Orange address
since last October. He had been
employed as a mechanic.
Discovery of Knapp's where
abouts followed the interception
of "a letter he had mailed to an
acquaintance on Staten Island,
who had been under surveillance
ever since Knapp's disappearance.
The body of PAMELA, a Hemp
stead, L. l., taxicab driver, was
found partly buried under slabs
of plaster board in the ruins OF
the old Army base hospital at
Camp Mills. L. I. Knapp at that
time was a soldier in the aviation
detachment at Mitchell Field.
Valves ExtraditiOn
Knapp cut a lot of red tape
by waving extradition and he
was promptly brought by air
plane to Long Island today Tor
trial at Mineola.
knapp pleaded not guilty
mandatory in capital cases
when arraigned this afternoon
at Mineola. He was held with
out bail for trial.
It was Knapp's first airplane
flight, although he had worked
as a mechanic on planes, and he
seemed somewhat apprehenSive.

THOUGHTS ON COOKERY

THE cook who wastes nothing but
serves her food daintily and in an
appetizing manner, is a real genius
and her talents are in constant de-
mand.
The artist cook, who really enjoys
working with her food materials, en-
joys her color combinations as well as
an artist who sits before his picture
with his palette and paint.
The cook has as vast field to show
her art as does the artist. Where do
we get such beautiful color material
as in fruits and vegetables? The
bloom on the peach and the plum, the
red Of the cherry, the apple and straw
berry, as well as the radish and beet !;
the purple of the eggplant and the
greens of spinach, broccoli and chard,
make colorful pictures when arranged
by an artists hand.
Another artistic quality which q
good cook possesses is the art of sea-
soning. The charm Of a dish which
has a flavor or aroma that cannot be
determined, or is hard to define, adds
to the pleasure of dish.
To know just how far to go, and
when to stay the hand, is rare abil-
ity in a cook. The Glove of garlic
which is just rubbed over the fork or
spoon that mixes the salad or food
combination adds that elusive some
thing to the seasoning which intrigues
and charms the epicure.

ground with those stout hind feet of
his. Those thumps can be heard
long way by those whose ears are near
the ground.
As Peter sat near the pond of Paddy
the Beaver, deep in the Green Forest,
thinking over all the things which
HOnker the Goose had told Of the
Great Woods of the Far North, and
of those who live there, he didn't for
a single little minute forget to keep
his ears open. He knew that he would
be safer in the dear Old Brier Patch,
but he wanted to see more of Honker
and perhaps in the morning, after
good nights rest, Honker would tell
more stories.
SO Peter sat as still as still can
be, thinking over what he had heard
about GluttOn the Wolverine and Flat
horns the Moose, and wondering what
it would be like to be able to fly like
Honker the Goose. He looked up
through the treetOps at the twinkling
stars and then over at the pond where
there seemed to be stars, too, twin
king in the water. Where the Black
Shadows had stretched themselves
across the water he could just see
what looked like twelve blacker shad-
ows. He knew that they were Honk-
er and his followers.

never has been a leader in his life.
HE must feel very anxious when he
picks out place to spend the night
when he Is making these long jour-
neys. 1t isn't like stopping in places
that you know all about. Now he new
er has stopped here before, so how
does he know what dangers there may
be? OF course Buster Bear and Pad
dy have told him that he will be per-
fectly safe here for one night anyway,
and of course sleeping out there on
the water, there isn't anybody he
fears. 1t isn't like sleeping on shore
where some one may creep up and
surprise YOU"
A long time Peter sat there. By
and by he noticed that some of those
sleeping geese were drifting nearer
the shore. 1t trouble him, he didn't
know just why. Then quite suddenly
into his head popped thought. Sup

JUST SUPPOSE

MAYHEM l was little lad,

Things hadn't, goodness knows,
Just the things you just suppose.
Yes, the wealth l used to own;
Ev'ry glitter of a stone,
Ev'ry rock that used to shine,
Made me sure there was a mine,
Something gorgeous, something grand.
Underneath our pasture land.
Father used to laugh at me;
Mother. gentle as could be,

While she frowned at Fathers wit.

Yet my answer was to his,
Eyes, but just suppose there ISL"
Well, I've wandered far away,
Many both the mile and day,
And l know that Dad was right.
Yet find that life's delight
Is not what we're sure about,

And thousand things like this.
Happier than one who knows

Potato salad is seldom appropriate
for dinner-it is better served with
cold meats at supper or lunch. A
sweet salad or an elabor tie fruit salad
is not well chosen for dinner when
there is to be a dessert following. If
you select a sweet salad let it suffice

WHAT THE PRESS A GENTS SAY

1 Strand in order that those who missed 1t at the State will have another chance to see it. Warner Brothers show wisdom in recognizing the exceptional work this unique pair has been doing in pictures and their first co-featurcd roles in Blonde Crazy" prove that they can more than live up to the early promise of their work. Blonde Crazy" by Kubec Glas- mon and John Bright, those inter- esting newcomers to the ranks of screen writers, who gave us first "The Public Enemy" and then Smart Money" is a new type of hoodlum tale, not by any means gangster story, yet as fascinat- ingly true to life as those other productions which bore their stamp.
 A bell-boy and linen-girl in a big city hotel learn a dozen minor rackets from their associations with transients. It is a new and fertile field and Cagney and Blon- dell make the interesting story vividly alive by the convincing per- formances they give. There is al- ways drama material in a hotel setting, but the material that Glas- mon and Bright have used here is unusual.

Lionel Barrymore and Laurence Olivier, Raoul Walsh's much her. aided Fox drama, "The Yellow Ticket" opens its local engagement to-day at the Fox-Poli theater.
 Based on Michael Morton's well known stage play of the same name, 1t tells the vivid story of a young and courageous girl who had to fight single handed against the cruel intrigue and injustices of czarist Russia's secret police for the romance and happiness that was rightfully hers. How she matches her wits against those of the hateful head of this insidious organization, and in the end kills him in self protection leads the film to one of the most startling denouements ever portrayed on the talking screen.
 ''The Yellow Ticket" is said to afford Miss Landi an opportunity to display her great emotional and acting ability and that she makes the most of 1t has been proven by the enthusiasm which has greeted the picture whenever it has been shown. Barrymore, too has been widely acclaimed for his work in the role of the relentless police head, as has Olivier who plays the rouantic male lead.
 Large and lavish sets, which mark all Raoul Walsh's produc- tions form an interesting and inn pressive background for the un- folding of the. story.
