circumstances described with many contradicting details in coroner's hearing which subsequently returned a verdict of premeditated murder, naming the husband. Several fishermen testified they saw the man and woman struggling in the water, and that finally man carried the woman, apparently unconscious, "from the water, placed her in his car and drove away. The state claimed Kane had deliberately drowned his wife by holding her under water, A letter from Miss Dodd was cited as a motivo for the crime, giving the "other woman" angle to the murder.
