A Story That WhitlOw Did Not
Own the Razor
With Which 1t Is Said May Sapp
Was Killed.
SOME NEW EVIDENCE.
A Witness in Battle Greek to
Give Strong Testimony.
Will Testify That She Gave the
Razor to the Sapps.

lola, Kan, May lit has been learn
ed that the mission of F. ]. Oyler to
Battle Creek, Mich, last Saturday was
to establish the ownership Of the bloody
razor which was found on the scene Of
the Sapp tragedy at Moran. Kan. on
the evening of September u, last Mr..
Oyler is one of the attorneys for Sam
uel Whitlow, who is charged with the
murder Of Miss May Sapp. 1t will be
remembered that in the coroner's In
quest John Sapp, father of the dead
girl, testified that he knew nothing of
the razor. Mr.. Whitlow also denies
the ownership of the razor.
1t is believed that Mr.. Oyler went
to Battle Creek to take the deposition
of Mrs. Smith who, it is said, gave
John Sapp her husbands razor at the
latter's death. The defense believes
the razor Mrs. Smith gave John Sapp
to be the one found on the scene Of the
tragedy. 1t is said that the razor given
to Mr.. Sapp by Mrs. Smith answers
the description in the minutest detail
of the one which is playing prom1-
nent part in the case. The lady who
furnishes the information states that
Mrs. Smith said that the razor was
''nicked" near the heel and was not
fit to be used any more and she thought
she would give it to Mr.. Sapp as a
sort of keepsake to remember her
husband by. The razor which was
found in the Sapp yard is ''nicked"
near the heel.
Mr. Sapp told on the witness stand
that he never knew Of any other razor
in his house than the ones which were
found there after the tragedy.
The attorneys for the defendant who
are in the city say that they are not
in a position to say anything about
Mr.. Oyler's visit.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Whit
low told in his story of the tragedy
that he grabbed the razor and ran
home with it where he washed off the
blood and returned it to the scene of
the tragedy.
The ownership Of this razor is a vital
issue in the case. Both the state and
the defense have been working hard
trying to establish the ownership of
the razor. The attorneys for the state
feel that If they can prove that May
Sapp did not secure the razor they will
have a much stronger case. While on
the other hand if the defense can show
to the jury that May Sapp secured the
razor it will be a strong point in Mr..
Whitlow's favor.

GOING AFTER THE PEACHES,
Report That the Little Green Bug Is
Busy Around Leavenworth.

Leavenworth. Kan, May 1.-The lit
tie green bug that has been doing its
best to put the plum trees out of bus1-
ness for the past few years. has. re-
gardless of their bitter taste, attacked
the peach trees this year. A great
many of the nurserymen and farmers
of this vicinity have complained of
this little insect and say If they are
not gotten rid of in some way, that
not one-tenth Of the corps will be
saved.
This is the first year that it has been
known to work on the peach trees,
and, in fact, they do not seem to be
particular what they go after, as they
are found on rose bushes and all kinds
of shrubbery.
'The Green Aphis. or the little green
bug as it Is more commonly called,
seems to be taking full possession OF
the fruit in general this year, said
Captain E. D. Dobbs, secretary Of the
Anderson County Horticultural society,
who has a small nursery at Fourth
and Cherokee streets. Sprayed trees
for three years." he continued, land
have been 1 nthe nursery business for
a number of years. but 1 never knew
this little insect to attack the peach
trees"

FRUIT Is KILLED.
New Mexico's Crop of Early Varieties
Ruined by Frost.

Las Vegas, N. M, May There will
be no early fruit in Las Vegas and the
country around this year, the apple
and other early fruit crops have been
damaged by the frost. The blossoms
in many instances have been blackened
and are beginning to fall off, Nothing
has been saved where trees have not
occupied sheltered position The I'M
usually low temperature has killed all
early varieties of fruit in the Santa Fe
valley, the bushes and young trees
being unable to Withstand the bitter
cold and frost. Smudge fires were of
no avail, the feeble heat and the little
smoke they emitted proved powerless
against the bitter winds and biting
frost. All peaches, cherries, apples.
pears, plums and other early fruits
are entirely destroyed. According to
the orchardists no buds or fruit could
Withstand the protracted freeze. This
will make the second consecutive yeac
that the crop has been a failure in this
portion Of the territory.
