Judge A. P. Van Meter. The sanity hearing will determine whether Loel Is mentally capable to stand trial on a murder charge growing out of the brutal killing of Mrs. Ellzabsth Jeanne Hender son. 31. Comp'.on, Calif. Mrs. Henderson was found in a motel here Jan. 10, 1951, stabbed 13 times. If Loel Is found sane by a Jury he will go on trial Tuesday. State psychiatrists contend that the 44-year-old man Is an "odd ball" but Is sane. Defense attor neys contend Loel Is Insane. Loel was listed on the FBI's 10 most wanted criminal list when arrested in Sanford. Fla.. last Jsnuary. Loel told psychiatrists who had him under observation tor months thrt he had a fight with the woman but had no memory of stabolng her. He said he met her in a bar in California and they started a cross-country trip. The woman'b husband thought they were on a "share tne expenses junket. In a long, detailed account of his life, Loel told doctors he had hepr. married five times and had "nothing but trouble" from his wives. He claimed to have been a confidence man dealing In opium In China, a Navy bad boy who was given a bad conduct discharge, a mink farmer, lumberjack and chief of police of Sandy, Ore. Loel claimed his nr.U wile was Chinese girl he "bought." Psy chiatrists, who termed him a "social reject," said Loel often went to great lengths In discussing the "superior qualities" of Chinese women, as compared to American women. But the doctors said Loel was also a man who "may cleverly conceal or fabricate his acts In order to manipulate other persons and further his own selfish inter ests."
