MI. E. LOWE SET FREE.
Governor Leedy Pardons the Man
Convicted of Grave Robbery

Governor Leedy today pardoned NJ.
F. Lowe from the Wabaunsee county
Jail and with this act of the chief ex-
ecutive of the state the history of the
famous grave rObberieS of three years
ago is completed.
Governor Leedy said today: These
doctors have been running after me
with tears in their eyes and telling me
that Lowe was suffering for something
they were responsible for and I thought
I would let him go. He has served his
term and is not able to pay the fine
and costs and it is from this that he is
relieved by this pardon"
When Governor Leedy was asked
why the doctors did not pay the fine
he said: They say that they spent all
their money defending him.
Marcus E. Lowe, ex-city scavenger
of Topeka, was the only person who
was sentenced for the grave rObberies.
S. A Johnson the janitOr, was con-
Victed but the court of appeals reversed
the case but it affirmed Lows convic-
ton and he was sentenced to six
months in Jail and to pay a fine of $500.
johnson was not tried a second time.
T. F. Doran, who defended Lowe, has
never ceased his work in the behalf
of the ex-scavenger. After his case had
been affirmed he set about securing
pardon for Lowe and his efforts have
been finally crowned with success.
Nearly every one in Topeka will re-
member the Kansas Meu1caI college
grave robberies. The finding of the
bodies OF three women VINO were sup
posed to be resting peacefully in the
cemeteries in the college was followed
by a period of the greatest excitement
and for several nights militia guarded
the college to prevent it's being des-
troyed by indignant citizens.
Several members of the college facul-
ty and students were arrested but it
was afterward found that there was a
flaw in all the indictments except those
against Lowe and Johnson and they
were tried in WabaunSeo county on a
change of venue
There were three damage suits COM
menced against the faculty of the col
lege by husbands of the women whose
bodies were found in the dissecting
room but all were compromised and
dismis n ed.
Lowe will be released from Jail at
once His family lives in Topeka

GOV. LEEDY's SUGGESTION
For Extension of Commercial Club
Finds Favor

At the annual banquet of the CONNER
c1al club at the ThrOop hotel Wednesday
evening Governor Leedy, in the course of
his response to the toast THE Soldier
State, suggested that the club extend it's
membership outside of this city and in
this way become factor in the CONNER
ciaI advancement of not only Topeka, but
the state.
1t is probable that this suggestion will
be carried out. Secretary Anderson Mr.
P l. Bonebrake and a number of other
prominent members of the club are in ia
VOr of it, and the matter will be taken up
at the next meeting of the club in Sep
TENDER The Kansas City Commercial
club is represented in many of the Mis-
souri, cities and in some of the Kansas
cities well.
Under this plan the membership of the
Topeka Commercial club would be ex-
tended to all portions of the state, and
touch with the commercial interests of
Kansas. The annual banouets wo1Id
then mean a gathering of the representa-
tive men of the state instead of Topeka
