Governor of Kansas Has Issued Requi.
sition for Them.

TOPEKA. Kan. July 27.-The four
members of the notorious Bender
family. guilty of score of murders.
are said to have been located in Colo
rado. and from evidence at hand. the
report is correct. Governor Stanley
has already issued requistitions for the
apprehension of the gang.
The accused consist OF father. moth
er, son and daughter The .rmer
two would now be over 20 years old.
while their children are past the 80
mark. They are now said to be in
the vicinity of Fort Collins. Colorado.
Information to that effect was given
to Governor Stanley by Frank Ayers
of that place, who asserts that Kate
Bender. the daughter, was once his
wife. Four men who went from here
To Colorado to identify i.oc support
the statement of Ayres.
The Benders lived on small farm
near Galena and for years. as it de-
veloped after their flight twenty-seven
years ago, had lured travellers to their
place. murdered them for their money
and buried their bodies In the yard
around their home or under the house.
The house was arranged witt! trap
doors All four members of the
family were accused of aiding in the
murders.
An investigation into the disappear

found beneath the house. led to the
fight. Heavy rewards for their ar
rest were offered by the state. bu.

of the Cement Creek section is the

led to production last year and now
the output Is about thirty tons of ore

Jury Finds Barry Guilty Of MUIR

Names as His Punish
nzent Lie Enlpris=
0nn3ent.
MOTION F0nNE::V4I TRIAL
Court Suspends Sentence Until
Tomorrow Morning in Or
der to Enable Defense
to Move for New
Trial.

The jury brought in a verdict
finding Barry guilty OF murder in
the first degree, naming the pun
ishment at life imprisonment in
the state penitentiary. Their ver-
dict was read in open court at six
o'clock, this Thursday evening,
the jury having concluded their
deliberations within two hours of
the time they retired to decide
Oh the case.
The verdict, as rendered when
they first appeared, contained the
surplus statement that they found
Barry 'ssne" in addition to being
guilty and it was necessary for
them to retire and bring in a new
verdict in which the opinion on
Barry's sanity had been elemi-
mated.
Following the entering of the
verdict on docket Attorney Bangs
for the defendant asked the court
TO grant them time to secure a
record of the evidence and review
same before making motion for
new trial.
Judge Kneeshaw suspended
sentencing Barry until ten o'clock
tomorrow, Friday morning, in
order to confer with defendants
counsel, as to their expressed
wish for time in making motion
for another trial. Tomorrow the
court will state whether or not the
motion will be granted.
The defendant, Barry, awaited

In reply Judge Kneeshaw stated that

tempts to insinuate that he was work.
ing in the interests OF the state ae far as
the case was concerned and that he
would not stand it any longer. Person
ally, he still retained the most friendly
feeling toward Mr.. Bangs,
The difference between Mr. Bangs and
the court was finally settled amicably
and the case continued. Mr.. Bangs
continuing as counsel for the defense.
Harry Farnham, bookkeeper in the
State Bank OF Milton, was the next
witness to testify. He said that Barry
called at the bank on the morning OF
Jan. 8 between IL and IL O'Clock ac-
companied by deputy sheriff. He
desired to make deposit, and did 80,
putting in 5000. He drew out part Of it
Immediately and took certificate OF
deposit for $100 and asked Mr.. Farm
ham to pay an order which he had made
on the bank few days previously. This
was the order paying Mellem $50. The
matter was attended to as Barry
desired and receipts given him, which
however, he returned to the bookkeeper
with the remark that, "They might
need them later on" evidently thinking
OF a trial at that time. The witness
stated that he examined Barry very
closely at the time he was in the bank
as he had heard the story OF the murder
but that he saw no evidence OF insanity
on the part OF the defendant.
Thursday morning, before adjourn
ment, ex-Sheriff John L. Robertson took
the stand. He was sheriff of Cavalier
county at the time the crime was COM
mitted. His evidence was in reference to
statements made by Barry after his
arrest. Strong objection was made to
the admission OF this line OF testimony
by the defense, the claim advanced that
anything told the sheriff ut that time
by Barry, without his, Barry, having
been warned that it might be used
against him at the trial, was not
admissible. The point was argued at
considerable length by the attorneys.
who had not finished when the noon
recess was taken.
During the arguments OF the attorneys
the jury examined the papers, receipts,
ETC., that Barry had given to Book
keeper Farnham. The argument OF
attorneys and the examination of ex-
Sheriff Robertson occupied most OF the
afternoon session.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Iu the afternoon the court inquired OF
Robertson, and ascertained that tho
conversation was generally voluntary
on Barry's part, did not relate to homi-
eide, nor was it instituted with view
to ascertaining Barry's mental condi.
tion. The court thereupon permitted
tho witness to relate the conyersation
which pertained to threshing experiences
aud poor sleeping accommodations,
Barry telling how one night he slept
between two fat hogs. At first Barry
seemed to be In deep trouble OF mind,
but a. he related his experiences bis face
frightened up. The tone OF the sonversa-
tion was natural. Tho next morning
Barry said to the sheriff in substaucs:
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1901-08-15

after the stock, agreeing to pay them
each a dollar a day. When he asked
Barry in regard to the time for feeding
the stock Barry told him that he would
have full instructions written out tor
him to follow.
At this pointa very sensational scene
occurred between the court on the one
hand and Attorney Tracy r. Bangs on
the other. Mr.. Bangs in making an
objection to, tho admission OF the evil
dence quoted an order OF the court to
sustain his position to which Judge
Kneeshaw replied that Mr.. Bangs falsi
fed statements to the court, and that
he, Judge Kneeshaw, would not stand
it any longer.
Mr.. Bangs was astounded at the
serious accusation made against him
and for q few moments was unable to
make reply. Later, however hs arose
and addressing the court stated that it
was quite evident to him that under the
circumstances his continuing to appear
for the defense would be prejudicial to
the interests OF his client, therefore he
would withdraw, temporarily at least,
and allow his colleagues to continue the
work unassisted az far as he was con.
cerned.
Attorney w. ". Erwin of st. Paul,
ono of the other attorneys for the Gefense
then addressed the court and smoothed
tho rufilsd atmosphere. He stated that
he was confident that Judge Kneeshaw
took wrong conception OF the remarks
OF Attorney Bangs, and that on the
other hand Mr.. Dsngs was 90 greatly
surprised at the remarks addressed ia
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1901-08-15

fully woven by the defense. The witness
was very positive in his statements and
could not be shaken in his beliefs and
opinions. He declared that Barry's
actions, his coherent talking of the
murder after that event, the transact
ing OF business at the bank and his
recollecting various circumstances did
not Indicate either mental or masked
epilepsy.
On cross examination Attorney Bangs
asked Dr.. Jones whether or not he had
been in consultation with the attorneys
for the state during the night. The
witness stated that he had Mp. Bangs
then asked if it was not possible for a
person to talk coherently and have a
dreamy recollection OF events which had
occurred during the time he had suffered
with the fits. DR.. Jones answered the
question by stating that such circum-
stances were on record where persons
had acted and talked like another person
and were in fact another person. He
was then excused
DR.. Moore Of the jamestown asylum,
was again called to the stand. He was
again asked hypothetical question by
Attorney Coohrane which covered much
OF Barry's life. When completed Il
lengthy objection was made to many
parts OF the question by Mr.. Bangs, and
he was in the middle OF his objection
when the noon adjournment was held.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
When court reconvened the objections
were overruled and DR.. Moore answered
that Barry was sane.
The same question with the addition
OF q recital OF Barry's alleged visions OF
devils, apparitions OF his mother, her
warnings, the blue sky and sulphur
smell, was asked. The witness s1ill
declared that at the time of the killing
and later on the same day Barry was
sane. The witness did not regard the
explosions OF anger as indications of
epilepsy.
The witness was not permitted to
to testify as to whether or not the
defendants lack Of memory on Jan. 3
was recencilable with the balance of the
assumptions in his story.
He did testify, however, that the
conditions were not reconcilable with
the post epileptic state in which follow
ing the condition OF maniacal fury there
are more or less confused and lndiscrimi-
nate recollections or no recollections at
at all, since the epileptic paroxysm, an
inability to perform coherent acts and q
confusion to personal identity.
DR.. Moore was then tnrned over to
the state for cross examination.
On cross.examination DR.. Moore ad-
mitted three instances OF epileptic cendi-
tions in the Barry family. The assault
on the trip from Garder to Grafton
might have been somnambulism feeling,
diffusion, or fit OF i'll humor. But
tho suddenness of the onset and the
suddenness of the termination might
suggest symptoms OF mental epilepsy.
The doctor was asked if the aura was
present, as Barry testified to his opinion
as to sanity would not change, and said
he should want to inquire further as to
whether the victim was ignorant and
