"It was God's will," Bentz told the arresting officers as, unresisting, he was led away. The police, after questioning Bentz, announced that he constantly referred to a passage on the Bible narrating Abraham's preparation to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham's three days' absence before placing his son on the altar was regarded by officials as the biblical prototype of the action of Bentz, who three days ago put his job and disappeared. Returning to his home last night, he read his Bible, and closing the book, took his little daughter into an adjacent room. The little girl was soon found beaten to death with parts of a sewing machine.
