R Price, an attorney who has taken an interest in him, has applied to have Knight freed on the ground that he has illegally been . held more than two court terms without with-out being tried. If that fails, he will argue that Knight can not be tried again Without being twice placed, in jeopardy. If that doesn't work, Mr, Price contends that, on the plea of '"guilty," . it is the Courts duty-to empanel a three Judge court to determine the de gree of Knight's guilt. But Price then will seek to withdraw the plea of guilty, and have his client stand trial. No Longer Bitter . Theoretically, as I have , said, Knight could be convicted of first degree murder and sent to the electric chair. That seems improbable, im-probable, in view of the fact that the actual killer . escaped capital punishment.
