This is much like the usual school process of

STATE OF KANSAS VS. WIN. coUPL.N.

Yesterday was field day for criminal
cases. In the afternoon the case of the COM
monwealth against m.Couplin was brought
before Justice Thomas. The defendant, it
will be remembered, is the man who pro-
posed TO get up the variety show, and who
| was arrested Monday for obtaining $40 from
| farmer as an installment on the rent OF a
| farm.
The facts disclosed in the trial yesterday
| materially alter our opinion of the charac-
ter of the defendant. as SET out in our report
the day following his arrest. The particu-
lars of his career in this city were given to
us by perfectly reliable gentleman, who, it
appears, was misled himself by statements
which he had heard from other parties. The
| evidence in the case convinced almost every
one who heard 1.-THE jury included-that
Couplin is not "A crook, but had been on a
protracted spree, and as George c. Cowsrt
expressed it, wanted TO buy the city and
most of the county and pay off the national
debt
d
he negotiated for the purchase of the farm,
and appears from the evidence that the bar
gain was actually made, the papers drawn
up and signed in o. ii. Bentley's Office by
Mr. Hatfield. Mr. Hatfield, J. c. Bentley
and several other witnesses swore that he
wanted to pay $500 on the farm, and that
he pulled a considerable sum of money out
Of his pocket. There seems TO be no doubt
that he had a considerable sum of money
when he arrived here. He states himself
that he had about $4,000, and Mr.. Cowart
said he lacked 81 - of having a cent now.
1t appears further that Mr.. L. Buzzard, the
gentleman who paid hin. the $40 on the
rent of the farm, was present when the
papers were drawn up between MIR. Couplin
and Mr.. Greeves and that he could not fail
to know the status Of that transaction. In
this connection it is proper to state that an
agreement was entered into between Mr..
Couplin and Mr.. Greeves that the latter
should bring his wife TO sign the deed Mon
day and it appears Mr.. Couplin offered TO
put up HltitN ~ tlltu TIT baEEdill. NJ
Buzzsrd rented the farm from CoupliE for
$50 per annum and admitted hat il Wa :
worth 500. 1t appears therefore, that Mr..
Buzzard WAS anxious TO grab good bar
gain and ths; he wished TO take advantage
Of Couplin 's..inebria,e condition by putting
up ten dollars to bind the bargain.
The short and the long of it is tina; Coup
lin was crazy with drink and WAS
sla>hing money in all directions |
and wanted to buy everything. |
There was no evidence that he intended to |
defraud ANYBODY, and the jury so REGARDED !
the matter and brought in verdict of not |
guilty.
Frank Dale prosecuted and o. II. Bentley |
and =. c. Cowart defended. When Mr. 4
Couplin learned he was free he called Mr.. |
BuEzard and said if he had received $40 4
from him he would pay it back. 4 gentle
man who works in Ii. q. Lees Office testified /
he knew Couplin in Indiana and tina; he 1
was man If good standing. Another man
told our reporter that he fell heir 10 . con-
siderable sum Of money some time ago.
our judgment is that he is not bad man.

retained in the case and had everything fixed
to take part in it. Mr.. Dale declined Judge
Campbell's assistance. and the Judge asked
the court to note that he claimed the right
to appear in the case. Stanley and Wal!
