Knapp on the Stand in West Street Case alibi defense
Albert Knapp testified in the criminal assault trial with Bessie Draper as the prosecuting witness. He admitted meeting Draper on West Street and accompanying her to a house, but claimed an unknown man resembling him abducted and assaulted her. His lawyer pressed an alibi, even removing Knapp’s coat to show a shirt identical to the arrest day, while the State contested introducing the clothing. Knapp denied prior Ohio prison time for the same crime and faced questions about past investigations and a potential motive related to a West Indianapolis murder and indecent conduct cases. His wife’s morning work at an overall factory was noted, with Knapp admitting he followed her to see if she went to work.
