COSTS WILL BE ENORMOUS.
1t Is Thought the Whitlow Trial Will
Cost Allen County $4,000.

lola, Kan. Oct 1.-THE Record says:
The trial of Sam Whitlow charged
with the murder of Miss Sapp Will pro-
badly exceed in costs anything ever
tried in the county with the possible
exception of the Guillilland case tried
in Neosho county many years ago and
resulting in the conviction of four men,
Whitlow case will run into the hum
dreds and possibly into the thousands
of dollars. No case has ever attracted
so much attention as this one. Every
one has talked about it and read about
it, 1t would be difficult to find a per-
son in the county who has not formed
an opinion on the subject. Most peo-
pie have been free. to express an Opin-
ion. If that opinion was formed on
what purported to be the facts in the
case. if it is such as to require the
slightest evidence to remove the per-
son is disqualified as a juror. And that
county.
Figuring that there will be but one
trial of the case said an attorney to
the Record, Il would say that the
costs will not fall much below $4,000
and may even exceed that sum. 1t is
going to be a mighty expensive trial
for the county and for all concerned.
Whitlow's little fortune will be swept
away in the fight and if he is cleared
he will probably have to begin again
at the very bottom of the ladder"
Constable and Town Marshal Ryder
of Kincaid, was in town yesterday and
called on Whitlow's attorneys. He says
few people in that vicinity believe that
Whitlow is guilty and he offered the
defendant his services to aid him in
freeing himself of the charge.

Caanute, Kan. Oct 1.-THE Sun
saYs:
A highly dramatic scene. one which
would seem more in place on the pages
of popular novel or on the stage Oh
a theater than an episode in real n1e'
might have been witnessed in the
south part of town when {. Hackroot'
supposedly on his death bed. was mar
ried ito Miss Lulu Field, the daughter
of Henry Field, a Santa Fe car repair
er living at 1901 South Forest
The ceremony surrounded py tne
suggestion of death was solemnized Dy
Father Maggie. at O'Clock in the eV-

pected that the sick man, responding
SO weakly to the vows to cherlsh anu
protect would live another "a hours.
He rallied however, during the night
and today seems stronger than Tor
weeks, although no hopes OF his nnal
recovery are entertained by physlclas,ile,
The narrative of events preceding
the deathbed marriage are lacking IN
the romantic details which their melo-
dramatic ending would imply. rms re-
cital is very proSaic. Hackroot nau eA-
pected to marry Miss Field, but before
the appointed time succumbed to heart

that he could never get well, wlsheo

WHITLOW is CHEERFUL.
The Prisoner Spends Much of His Time
in Reading.

&Rszlas= KEss1 0ct 4 Z The counts
officials say they have found no new
evidence in the May Sapp tragedy C..
j. Peterson, the county attorney. and
-. o. Bollinger, sheriff, received num-
Der of letters concerning the case in
the morning mail.
Were getting many such letters,
the sheriff said. Everyone in Kansas
is discussing this case, apparently, and
some fellow hears persons talking
about the case and Immediately i'm
agincs that they know facts we ought
to be acquainted with"
Whitlow is cheerful and sat before
the fire in the Jail the greater part of
the morning reading. He has for
cellmate a man named Claude Lewis,
who is charged with violation of the
interest in all other prisoners. He
asks them all about their cases and
themselves. Apparently he is worry
ing little over the result of his trial.
One feature that the defense is to
use in the trial of the case was learned
today. One of Whitlow's attorneys
said that the dress worn by Miss May
Sapp the night of the tragedy had been
burned. The defense will try to show
that the waist opened in front, afford
ing a place for the concealment of the
razor. The physicians who examined
the body testified before the coroner's
jury that the dress buttoned at the
back. Mrs. Sapp. the girls mother,
gave similar testimony
DIR. ID. w. Reid. the coroner said
that he was positive the dress was non
buttoned in front.
There was no opening in the bosom
of the garment" he said. Il examined
the dress and am positive that it was
buttoned in the back
The defense is quite as busy as the
county attorney in endeavoring to trace
ownership of the razor found on the
scene of the tragedy. The attorneys
say that they have learned nothing
yet.
