Crude sword found tied to farmer in Pennsylvania case
A crude, 18 inch sword with a makeshift handle was found on John Erdlin's farm near Wellersburg. Police theorize Erdlin killed farm hand John Geld and later committed suicide, as investigators recover burned remains and a pocket knife, revolver, and evidence from Erdlin's cabin. Probes tie unrelated death of Laula Knapp to a separate poisoning, not the Erdlin-Geld case.
