Hoppmann. PRICE THREE CENTS Dying Words Hint Weird Story False They Dldlt! Final Word of Love Ritual Fire Victim BULLETIN LAKE BLUFF, I1L VP) The dying words of Elfrieda Knaak, the Sunday school teacher who confessed self-immolation, today stood as a renunciation of the wierd story to which she had clung steadfastly since last Tuesday. I didnt do it, they did it, the girl murmured this morning a few minutes before she died in the Lake Forest hospital almost three days to the hour from the time she was found, nude and burned, against a furnace into which she insisted she had thrust her arms and legs in an effort to attain spiritual purity. did It? tensely inquired a-nurse bending over her cot. I dont remember, whispered the girl as she sank into a comma.

By The Associated Press LAKE BLUFF, IU. Miss Elfrieda Knaak, the psychology student whose story of self-torture in the furnace room of a police staiton had baffled investigators for two days, died at 4 oclock tiffs morning of burns received as she tried to prove her faith in a spirit love. With her death, officers said, was locked the story of what actually happened during those hours before the Tuesday dawn when Miss Knaak, after sitting alone all night in the police station, went into the basement where she later was found, near the furnace, badly burned. Even should evidence develop pointing to some second party as having had a hand in the tragedy, officers said the young womans story that she alone had inflicted the burns as self-torture to prove her faith in a spirit-love would almost certain prove a bar to successful prosecution. Teacher Goes to See Her Miss Knaak died a few hours after her former psychology teacher and adviser, Charles Hitchcock, had gone on crutches to her bedside and pleaded with her to tell everything.

Hitchcock has been laid up for a week with a broken ankle, an accident of which Miss Knaak apparently did' not know when she went to the police station Monday night. It is a police theory that she had intended to meet Hitchcock, who is also night watchman of Lake Bluff, at the station. Hello, Fritz, Hitchcock said to the dying girl. Miss Knaak looked him full in the face, but did not speak. He asked her several questions the authorities had prepared: Why did you do this terrible thing? Who let you into the police station? Why didnt you telephone me? The girl made no reply.

As Hitchcock hobbled from the room he called back, Goodbye. Clings to Queer Story Goodbye, said the girl. It was the last word she ever spoke. Throughout her hours in the hospital Miss Knaak had clung to her original story of faith in a spirit-love. Even when doctors told her she had but a few hours to live, she refused to amplify her explanation.

Authorities had doubted her story; it seemed impossible. At first It was thought she might have been the victim of a madmans attack, but there were no facts to substantiate such a conclusion. At every turn of the investigation, when officers tried to fathom a plausible explanation, thgy were forced back to the girl's own story of self-immolation. The Idea that half truths are worse than lies is well iUustrated in the ata-ti sties. lIr.
