CAUGHT AT WILLARD.
G. w. McNinch, Who Dealt in OBJ
scene Pictures, is Bagged.


G. W. McNinch was arrested Wednes-
day at Willard, Kas., by Deputy u. S.
Marshal Prescott, on a charge sworn to
by U. S. Postoff1ce Inspector McAfee
charging McNinch with sending obscene
pictures through the malls. The officers
secured the photograph plates from
which the pictures were printed. and
the evidence they think is strong
enough to convict the prisoner. The
penalty for the violation of the statute
regarding the use of the u S. mail
service for such purposes is severe.
Violators of the law may be sent to the
penitentiary for five years, or may be
fined $1,000, or both.
McNinch formerly operated from To-
peka. He decided it was not safe here
and removed to Willard. His method
was to secure names of people in va
rlous parts of the country and send
circular letters to the addresses tenclos-
ing sample picture, which he an
nounced would be furnished at the rate
OF 81 per dozen, assorted. The postoffice
authorities say that McNinch received
hundreds of answers containing money
for the set of pictures. The postoffice
officials became apprised of the scheme
being worked by MeNinch through a
man in Illinois who found his son with
one of the pictures and circulars. The
postoffice department at once began
tracing the letters and succeeded in
running down McNinch.
