OSBORNE MURDER CASE.
Efforts Being Made to Save Albert
Hinkley From Life in Prison.

Osborne county which grew out of
the shooting of Thomas LeRock by
Albert Hinkley was argued in the su-
found Hinkley guilty of murder in the
first degree and sentenced him to
states prison for life. Hinkley,
through his attorneys. appeals the
case on the ground that the lower
court erred in instructing the jury
Further, that during the trial Of the
case in the Osborne court the assist
ant attorney for the state was allowed
to make irrelevant and incompetent
remarks which tended to assist the
jury in reaching a verdict.
The Hinkley murder case was a re-
markable one in many respects.
Hinkley conducted pool room in the
day while Hinkley was playing pool
with a frequenter of the place LIE
Rock entered under the influence of
liquor and took hand in the game
Hinkley quit playing. AT this juno
ture another customer entered the
place and LeRock threw a couple of
pool balls at the newcomer, fortunate
ly missing him. Hinkley, according
to the testimony, accepted this dan
gerous byplay without undue anger.
The next day LeRock was drunk
again and playing pool as usual in
Hinkley's place. LeRock soon be-
came too drunk to play. He got sick
and went out in the alley behind the
pool hall. When FIinkley's assistant
started to put the balls away in the
rack he discovered that two of them
were missing. Hinkley, when notified,
sent his assistant out in the alley to
see if LeRock had the missing balls.
The assistant soon returned with the
pool balls and placed them in the,
rack Hinkley walked up to the front
of his pool hall to the cigar counter.
LeRock, out in the alley, called for
Hinkley to come out there. Hinkley left
the cigar counter and walked slowly
and quietly across the pool hall and
disappeared through the back door
from the gaze of those present in the
pool room. Those present testified that
he left the room without any apparent
anger or excitement. He had not been
out of sight thirty seconds when a
pistol shot was heard in the alley.
Then Hinkley returned by way of the
back door and with him came the I'M
fortunate LeRock. The latter sank
into a chair and placing his hands to
his breast sank to the floor in lifeless
heap.
Hinkley testified that when he enter
ed the alley LeRock cursed him and
threatened to kill him. That deceased
placed his hand to his hip pocket, and
that with that movement defendant had
reached for his own gun and fired so
quickly that he did not even stop tc
take aim.
Hinkley pleads self defense and asks
the supreme court to set aside the YER
dict of the Osborne county court.

Regular Devil, Hon. Miller.
But now comes the Hon Topeka
Capital of this morning. with the dec
iaration that Hon. Jackson has not
agreed to make the race.
But says the Hon. Jackson, in an
interview, if the machine politicians
and machine newspapers do not let up
I MAY be forced into the race
In considering the above, let it be
remembered that Hon. Jackson is a
little old country town lawyer, and
that he has never done anything ex-
cept admire Hon. Judge Lindsey of
Denver; Hon. Francis Heney, late of
San Francisco; Hon. Tom johnson of
Cleveland, Ohio, and others of that
class.
And now, if the Regular Devil (Hon
Miller, congressman from the Fourth
1istricO should whip Hon. Jackson at
the primaries, we for one would travel
down to the Fourth district to take
The Regular Devil by the hand, and
congratulate him. And some say there
is every reason to believe that the
Regular Devil will do just that to Hon.
Jackson when the fight comes off.

1t happened that E. B. Jewett of
Wichita is in Topeka and when he
heard of the action taken at the an

at the state house to protest against
The name which the new organization
lad adopted.
incidentally he ran across Attorney
John Dawson who was instrumental
il securing for the new company the
right to go under the name of the
Kansas State Fair association. So
vehement was the protestation of the
Wichita man that the attorney in
question assured him in no uncertain
language that he had arrived on the
scene too late; that the reorganized
rev 100000 state fair association

The new charter was formally issued
today to 1.-THE Kansas State Fair as

AS ED HOWE SEES 1T.
| Non-Political Comment on Mr..
Jackson's Candidacy.

Ed Howe of the Atchison Globe
does not take politics seriously. His
commentary on the hide and seek
game Mr.. Jackson is playing with the
Fourth district congressional nomina-
ton, is very funny and is reprinted as
follows:
If newspaper readers like politics.
the editor of the Globe should get out
of the newspaper business, as soon as
possible, for when not Disguised over
politics, he is amused.
One of the funniest things that has
happened in Kansas in years. is the
Hon. Fred S. jackson incident. The
Hon. Emporia Gazette. which is the
chief angel of the angel movement in
Kansas, conceived the notion that
Hon. Fred S. Jackson, attorney gen.
eral of Kansas. should become a can
trict, to defeat a Regular Devil ramed
Miller So the Hon. Emporia Gazette
wrote one of it's famous editorials i'm
ploring Hon. Jackson to save the
Fourth district. This editorial was re-
printed by the Hon. Kansas City Star

angels of the Hon. Emporia Gazette,
angel-in-chief. Then for weeks Hon.
Jackson was exploited as about the
only respectable man in the state, and
certainly as the only man in the state
with the Courage of His Convictions.
The climax was reached last Satur-
cay. The Hon. Associated Press was
dragged into the foolishness. First a
bulletin was sent out that Hon. Jack
son had at last consented to redeem
The Fourth district from the reign of
the Regular Devil, one Miller. Then
came another bulletin: the Hon. jack
Eon had NOT consented. The excite
