FOR MURDER OF ANNABEL.
Nancy Jane Mayes on Trial for Muir
der of an Imbecile Girl

Olathe, May 12.-The trial of Nancy
Jane Mayes of Topeka for the murder
of AnnabeI Williams, the 12-year- old
imbecile daughter of A. B. Williams
opened here yesterday. Fifteen of the
25 witnesses subpoenaed for the state
have been examined. The circumstan-
ces which led to the murder, the finding
of the body in a raVine near Eudora
and its Identification were established
by the witnesses early in the trial.
A written confession secured at the
Shawnee county jail by a Journal re-
porter in which Mrs. Mayes admitted
leaving the girl in the ravine where the
body was found was admitted in evi-
dence and read to the jury after a hard
fight to exclude it by Attorney w. l.
JamisOn and his assistant c. L. Ran
dali.
The defense will try to prove that the
Mayes woman is a person of weak
mind and is therefore, not responsible
for her acts. She has been sick much
of the time since she has been confined
in the Olathe jail and this fact has
served to bring her the sympathy of a
great number of the community.
The case will probably be given to the
jury sometime tomorrow.

PARSONS MAN INJURED.
An Acrobat, While Diving at the N att
toriunn, Strikes His Head on
the Cemented Bottom.

Kansas City, May 12.-James Pace of
Parsons, Kan, sustained a partial
stroke of paralysis while diving at the
natatorium at Eighth street and Broad
way last night. Pace was one of the
tumblers with the Ringing circus, but
for some reason quit the show in Kan
sas City.
Last night he. went to the natatorium
to enjoy a plunge. He induIged in
some fancy swimming, diving and ac-
rObatic feats. During one of the lat
ter efforts he entered the water too
near the edge of the pool and his head
striking the cemented bottom, he was
rendered unconscious.
Several attendants drew him from
the water and Police Surgeon LandOn
was called. He found Pace to be suf-
fering from a severe shock, much re-
sembling paralysis. He was uncon-
sciOus and could not feel the point of a
pin or knife that was stuck into his
body. The paralysis did not appear to
extend to his legs, as he was capable
of feeling there. He was removed to
the city hospital, where it is thought
his recovery will be speedy.

exception of California. Reports from

gloomy tone. In addition there were re-
ports of a 20 per cent shortage in the
French crop. Later Liverpool cables
showed a good advance from the open
ing, and the local market gradually
strengthened selling up to 7412 cents with
trading becoming broader as the session
progressed.
CORN-Was barely steady with the
crowd disposed to sell on the prospects Of

steady the market. July opened a shade

TOPEKA GETS THE S35, 900
Report That the Public Building
Item was Knocked Out was
Incorrect

Washington, May 1.-THE report that
the appropriation for the public build
ing at Topeka had been knocked out by
the house was based upon error.
Congressman Curtis originally tried
to secure S100, 600, which was inserted in
the sundry civil bill and passed by the
senate.
1t was knocked out in the house and
$4,000 was substituted. By an over
sight of the enrolling clerk, the original
amount was left in the bill.' making
total of $135 900. In this condition it
was sent to the White House. The bill
was not signed by President Cleveland
and was again up for considerat ton yes
terday. The error had meanwhile been
discovered and the elimination of the
$100, 900 provision is what led TO the re-
port that the appropriation had been
killed. AS a matter of fact Topeka gets
$35, coo.
