Famous DObbs New Murder Case
to BE ReOpened.
State Supreme Court Finally
Makes an Order.
STORY OF A CONVICT.
Alvin Ballard COnvinces Officers
There Is New Evidence.
News From the Various State
House Departments.

The testimony furnished by Alvin
ballard. a convict, is responsible for a
reopening of the celebrated Dobbs-New
murder case in Greenwood county, the
supreme court having granted writ Of
"coram nobis." which is in effect an or
der to the district court directing that
court to again hear the motion for a
new trial in this case.
This proceeding is somewhat unusual
but il proceeds upon the theory thae
new evidence has been discovered which
entities the defendants TO the benefit OF
a motion for a new trial This trial had
been once refused by the district judge,
but the supreme court, upon the coram
nobis proceeding. interVenes and orders
the rehearing.
This proceeding is caused by the APP
pearance of Alvin Ballard in the case.
He is convict and pretends to be able
to produce testimony proving that John
Dobbs and Amelia New did not murder
Joseph New.
When Ballard first appeared on the
scene it was by a letter to the governor
ia which he explained in detail why the
persons now in the penitentiary We're
innocent Of the crime of murder OF
which they were convicted.
Billiards. story was so plausible that
the governor gave his permission to the
Greenwood county officers to take Bal
lard out of the penitentiary and escort
him. IN CUSTODY TO GREENWOOD county
for the purpose of investigating the
truthfulness of the statements made by
the convict
Some Of the officers seem convinced
that Ballard is telling the truth and up
on the evidence which he furnished
while on this trip. the application for Il
writ Of "coram nobis" was made and
granted.
Dobbs and Mrs. New were convicted
two years ago of the murder of Joseph
New. He was shot and killed just out
side his house near Eureka in 1897. The
theory Of the prosecution was that
Dobbs and Mrs New were in love with
each other and conspired to get the hus-
band out Of the way so they might be
married.
Last year Ballard. who is serving
eight years for stealing horses made a
statement in which he declared that
Frank AlgOod and William Turner and
himself, Ballard. were guilty of the muir
der.
Ballard further stated that he was one
of the members of a gang of thieves or
ganized by Algood. The latter was sent
to the penitentiary a year ago for for
gerry.

BOOKS FOR MANILA.
Governor Stanley Planning to Enlarge
the Collection.


Governor Stanley is considering plans
by which he can increase the interest
and add a collection of books to the
soldiers library at Manila. This case
OF books is to be sent to Manila as a
memorial to the dead Kansans who
were killed while serving with the
Twentieth Kansas
The governor has not determined
what course he will pursue but he has
interested himself in the plans and
promises to do all in his power to aid
the cause.
The American, published in Manila,
dated April 20, has the following con-
corning the library:
The public library now has 1850 vol
umes. Between forty and fifty persons
is the average attendance, and the lend
ing system (hfty cents a month) is
greatly in vogue with soldiers and
civilians alike, and has so far turned
$40 into the treasury. The new novels
the latest works by Meredith or Rich
ara Harding Davis are the most widely
circulated. The standard works by
Bulwer Lytton, Dickens, Scott and our
English classics qualify for second
place. Histories of our own and other
nations are read with aVidity, the sol
der bearing out his reputation of be-
ing an omniverOus reader.
Some of the younger men are using
freely the reference books in the pur-
suit of their studies, and it is hoped
that the library will be able
to further develop itself along that par
ticular line.
Sixty boxes of paper covered book.
and periodicals have been sent out tC
the soldiers in the field Seventy-twC
boxes are now on their way from the
United States, fifty-four boxes coming
from Ohio, 500 bound volumes from al
