BRIDE’S MALIGE . WAS START OF KILLING RAGE? Confessions of Couple in Jail Reveal New Angles to Crime at Rochester, N. Y. VICTIM WAS ON ‘SQUARE’ ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 14.—The jealous mania of a, husband, tortured by his bride’s revelations, was at first held leeountable for the killing of Edward J. Knelp. Now Sheriff Andrew Weidenmann. who obtained confessions from Mr. and Mrs. VDell, is convinced that a woman's malice is the real cause behind the crime. O’Dell, a former enlisted man in the 'vy, is no more brutal in appearance Ihan the strange, primitive girl he mnried. He weighs 122 pounds, is pallid ,nd thin, and was discharged from the avy for physical disability. O’Dell is a Mason, an Elk and an Odd ellow. and a member of social clubs and drill teams in all these orderß. He elongs to the American Legion and rdayed a, saxaphone in the noted legion band of Rochester. He is a Inember of 'he Y. M. C. A. Wearing shell-rimmed glasses as he read newspaper accounts of his crime, this slender youth tried hard to cover his nervousness and, at times, to keep back the tears. BREAKDOWN COMES FROM BRIDEGROOM. ' After Mrs. O’Dell’s arrest, O’dell slipped through the ring of deputies watching his home and ran, as fast as he could, toward the police headquarters in search of his wife. It was he who broke down and made the admissions which enabled the authorities to obtain "a full account of the case from Mrs. O’Dell. It now seems certain that -rejected love, turned t. o smoldering hatred, transformed Pearl O’Dell, 18 years old, into a demon. Her fury at the loss of a favored lover impelled her to feed the mind of the youth she had married with venom until he became her partner in the "honeymoon, murder." That Is the theory upon which the prosecution will work in its endeavor to compel Pearl O'Dell and .her husband to pay the extreme penalty, which in this state is death by electrocution. The taunt, “You’re yellow!” is believed to have driven O’Dell into a killing rage. CRIME IS WOMAN’S. DECLARES SHERIFF. “It was unmistakably the woman’s crime,” says the sheriff. Sharp and clean in the light covering of snow which lay on the ground when the body of Kneip was found, were two sets of footprints. One bore the deep mark of a French heel. The two tracks were visible, along the trail made by the dragged-;Dedy. At one point the man and woman had “changed hands” in their grewsome task. For some of the distance, only one of the woman’s shoes showed the French heel mark. Then the heel, torn loose from the shoe, was found. It had been broken off as Pearl O’Dell kicked and stamped the prostrate body of her former lover. Limping in her damaged footgear. Mrs. O'Dell trudged the six-miles back to the home of her husband’s foster parents. Here she went to the bedside of Mrs. Arnold and said to her. “Well, I slammed him. Don't blame I. BRIDE TRIES HARD TO CONCEAL EVIDENCE. She burned the shoes and her husband’s blood-stained trousers, and worked until dawn trying to wash from her new fur coat the dark, tell-tale blotches. J Kneip became acquainted with Pearl I Heaver through 4 boy-an4-glrl. flUtn-. tlon. He was “square” with fieri' Ac. cording to his code, but never told his mother that he knew her, and insisted, in the last hour of his life, that he never promised to marry her. One night last summer Kneip called at the home of. Pearl Beaver’s sister to see fcearl. The girl was out, w}th sonw one else. Kneip and Terrance Cosgrove Pearl’s brother-in-law, had a long talk. Cosgrove warned the younger man that Pearl was “wild.” Kneip went away, and never approached Pearl again. On his body was a letter, signed “Viola.” It told of a romance far different from the one in which Kneip and Pearl Beaver had been involved. Y. M. C. A.

“FIENDISH MURDER” BUNGLED

ROCHESTER, N. Y.. Jan. 14.—But for a strange series of little accidents, Mr. and Mrs. James L. O’Dell would have had a good start in their flight after killing Edward Kneip. O’Dell’s car broke down as -he was carrying Kneip to the torture tree and he was compelled to hlse a taxicab, the driver of which later identified him. Kneip’s body was laid against

A Nervous Wreck Bt Db. VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE. How many business —s*====™= men feel fagged out, nervous, with a “soggy brain” ' " —worn out completely before the day and its tremendous tasks are half over? Try the right way! W* Clean the body first. That - help your nerves, y°ur head and your cir- \ y-/ culation. Your doctor will J ' tell you that anything from a headache or a common cold to grippe or a serious illness may result from allowing food to ferment in the intestines. Don’t give the body a chance to absorb the poisons. Remove the toxins from the system and give the tissues of the body aid to resist disease by taking an occasional laxative such as castor oil, or a tiny pill made up of May -apple, aloin, jalap, and sold by most druggists as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. The kidneys and bladder suffer from the wear and tear, and we get chronic inflammations sometimes indicated by backache, painful voiding of water —dull, heavy feelings. Perhaps the uric acid is stored up irf the system in excessive amount, and consequently when the urate salts are deposited in muscles and joints one suffers from lumbago (pain in back), rheumatic pains, gout, etc. Nothing will act so nicely as “Anuric” (anti-uric-acid), a recent discovery of Dr. Pierce’s which can be had at all drug stores. “Anuric” washes away the poisons, cleanses the bladder and kidneys—rendering them antiseptic—consequently one is soon cured of lumbago, rheumatism, gout, and the body is put into a clean, healthy state.

S.S.S. GIVES KNOCK-OUT BLOW TO RHEUMATISM

Proves Itself Master of This Painful Disease. Halfway treatment of Rheumatism will never rid you of It. Better realize from the outset that when Rheumatism attacks, you have a real battle on your bands, and that it's a man's Job to get rid of it. Temporizing with Rheumatism by the use of liniments, lotions and other exof treatment, is like trying to coax an enemy to let up in Ms attacks, and permit you to conquer him without resistance. But you soon learn that Rheumatism will not treat you with this consideration. The tiny little germs flock together by the millions and center their attack with undivided force. The effects \>f the disease are gradual in taking hold on the system. In fact, the pains are only slight at first and do not attract your serious attention, but they gradually increase in severity until your entire system is firmly within the grip of the disease. It 'is then that you have a real fight on your hands, for you will find that Rheumatism is a foe that knows Just how to cripple you. The pains that were hardly noticeable at first become your constant and seem to take delight in your suffering. Os course, if this painful disease was on the surface only you might reasonably pxpect to get relief by the use of surface remedies, such as liniments and other local applications. But the source of the disease is your blood, the tiny disease germs find lodgment there ana multiply by the' millions and acatter, by

the wall of a culvert, on the side farthest j from the railroad tracks. If it had been j left on the opposite side of the culvert 1 (indicated by arrow) it would have been ; invisible from the cab of the passing en- j gine and from the road and might have i remained for weeks undiscovered. The i night after the crime seven Inches of ] snow fell. This would have obliterated all signs of the murder.
