MUST GO TO PRISON.
Ell Hansford Convicted in the District
Court.

After two days OF a hard fought
trial, ELI Hansford, the young farmer
charged with a statutory crime against
Minnie Worral, a girl under 1S years
of age, the jury came in last evening
with verdict Of guilty.
The punishment for Hansford's
crime, is an indeterminate sentence of
from to 81 years in the penitentiary.
During the two days occupied in the
trial, a large number of witnesses
testimony is printable. 1t was the
same story, apparently, of green
girl and green boy.
The prosecution was conducted by
Captain J.. G. Waters, who had been
employed by the Crittenton home So
ciety to assist in the prosecution.
The case will be appealed to the
supreme court. as Fri Hansford, faith
er of the boy, is a wealthy farmer,
and able to meet the expense.
The Hansford case is notable
among Shawnee county cases in this
particular: On February 16, 1907, Eli
Hansford was on trial for a statutory
offense against Minnie Worral. The
case was long drawn, as on the pres
ent occasion, and after the evidence
was partly taken, J. Lands, one Of the
jurors sitting in the case, rose and re-
ported to the court that he was not
fit man to sit in trial of the offense.
Several years ago. said the juror,
"a case similar in nature occurred in
my own family. Having heard some
of the evidence, I am convinced that
my personal feelings IN this case
might bias me In giving a verdict"
The court excused the jury, and set
the case for hearing in the April
term, 1907. In the meantime, the
defense. Attorneys Hazen and Cav,
took the case to the supreme court on
the grounds that Hansford could not
be retired, having been once in
jeopardy. The supreme court render
ed verdict to the effect that the case
should be considered a "mistrial," and
tried before. The case against Hans
ford at this term of court is result
Of this decision, and had to be tried
as though the case had never been on
docket before.
To prevent a repetition Of the mis-
asked specifically if he had ever ex-
perienced, in any branch of his imme-
date family, a case in any way SINH
lar to the case on trial.
Ell Hansford. the son of a promi-
nent and wealthy Shawnee county far
mer living near Silver Lake, was
charged with the fall of Minnie Wor-
raj, who was at that time, under 1S
years of age Young Hansford, ac-
cording to stories told outside OF
court. and limited at In the evidence
was willing to marry the girl. but his
father, Fri Hansford. forbid any
such action, and has been fighting the
case.
The Hansford case was the last
Jury case of the January term. The
Jurors were all discharged last even
ing, and the remainder on the month
up to the opening of the April term.
will be devoted to the large docket of
court cases. On this docket nine d.
vorce cases will be heard.

PROF. LOOKS CONCERT.
Proves Himself an Adept in Handling
Big Pipe Organ.

That Topeka has at least one man
who is able to manipulate the keys of
the big pipe organ so as to bring out
the best music of this big instrument,
was evidenced beyond a doubt last
night to the faithful few who attend
ed the recital Of Prof. Henry Fay
Look of Washburn college. 1t has
been long time since Topeka has
had such a musical treat from her big
organ and those who braved the
threatening weather of last night
were amply repaid for their trouble.
Prof. Look came to Washburn last
fall and is one of the instructors in
the School of Fine Arts. He is a
graduate of the New England Con-
servatory of Music and for years was
official organist for the Pilgrim Con-
gregational church of Boston, which
is probably the largest Congregation
al church in the world.
His first selection last night was
Claimants Sonata in d minor No. 1.
the Largo MaestoSo and the Allegro
Pastorale. From the first the au-
dience was in hearty sympathy with
applause which he received and
which grew in volume throughout
the program. Other numbers which
he rendered were as follows:
"Vivion" by Rheinberger; Bach's
'tToccata" in D Minor, de Brisque-
ville's "Etude Pour PedaIier," which
was played with the feet only; Han
Dvorak,s sHumereske" OPP. 1o1, No.
1. The recital closed with Dubois
'Toccata" in G Major.
The Washburn college Glee club
which was organized by Prof. Look
assisted in the program last night
with two selections I'm Picardie" and
"Mulligna's Musketeers." Both num-
bers were heartily applauded.

Mr. and Mrs. Klingenberg will leave
Topeka at the end of the present school
year. They will spend the summer in
California as the guests of Mrs. Mason
Davage. a daughter of Bishop Potter.
They spent last summer with Mrs.
Davage at her home in the White
Mountains Of New Hampshire.
Next fall Mr.. and Mrs. KHngenberg
will go to Paris where Mr. Klingen-
berg will spend a year in the study OF
pianoforte. Beyond this they have
made no plans for the future
Dean KHngenberg has been in To-
peka for the past five years, during
which time he has been closely allied
with all the higher musical organiza-
lions of the city. He came here from
Hardin college, a school for girls at
Mexico, Mo-, where he had been en-
ployed as teacher Of plano and opened
q private studio in Topeka.
In 1903 with the organization of the
Washburn school of fine arts which
was effected by President Plass and
Prof George B. Penny, who was select
ed as dean of the new school, Mr.. King
enberg was selected as one of the
teachers
With the resignation of Prof. Pen
ny as dean which came at the close
of the school year of 10000, Prof.
Klingenberg turned in his resignation
and the two men opened a private
school in Topeka which hourished
successfully for one year. At the time
of his resignation in 1904, there were
rumors of trouble between the faculty
of the School of Fine Arts and the
board of trustees.
These rumors, however, we're set at
rest in the summer of 1905 when
Prof. Klingenberg's selection for the
position of dean of this school was
announced Since then the School
of Fine Arts has been In a flourish
ing condition and has been accorded
q substantial patronage, and is now
recognized as one of the leading CEN
tiers of musical instruction in the por-
ton of the country.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Klingenberg
have won a host of friends during
their stay in Topeka and they will be
missed especially in musical and edu-
cationaI circles. Mr.. Klingenberg is
enc of the most highly educated men
in the city, having graduated from
the University of Norway at Christ
iania. Mrs. Klingenberg is also a
highly educated woman. Both men
are accomplished linguists.

with regret that we have learned of
Mr.. Klingenberg's contemplated
