In my gigantically humble opinion, Leland did not kill Laura.  I think
it is clear that he clubbed Jacoby, though.  It seems to me that his
"recovery" is a result of killing jaques, either as revenge or to
eliminate someone who knew about his mistreatment (or potentially killing)
Laura.  But if he did kill Laura, and killed Jaques because Jaques was there
that night, why didn't he kill ronette while he was at the hospital as well?

Other comments: "Three have seen him."  So Leo and Jaques did not
see him.  Did Laura and Ronette go to the train car or did the Third Man
come by the cabin?  We know that  Jacoby and Leland like to walk and lurk
in the woods...  I think Blackie is a junkie.... How about the quote
"I'm back!" and the Horne brothers dancing to Leland's singing.  Those
Horne brothers sure are sleazy, but I no longer think they killed Laura.
I'll bet they (and Leland) were at one-eyed Jacks the night Laura died.
