Knapp was in Chicago and would
return to face 5 he charges. Days
passed and no word was received un
til the first part of this week, whci
Attorney Cook was notified that
Knapp was en route to Fremont.
I'pon his arrival he went directly
to the county attorney's office, ac
companied by his bondsmen. Jus
tice of the Peace H. M. Kidder was
called into the county attorney's of
fice, where Knapp waived prelimi
nary hearing, pleading not guilty.
