SOUNDING PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Stranger Attempting to Prove Barclay
Woman and Gentry Are in Danger.


A stronger whose actions and talk
indicated that he might be represent
ative of the Barclay interests in the
Incubator baby case, called at the state
house today and sought to secure IN
formation to bear out the contention
of the defendants that if they were
brought back here for trial they would
be threatened with mob violence, or
would not get a fair trial to say the
least.
1t is supposed that this evidence, if
vantage of Mrs. Barclay and Joseph
Gentry in the requisition case to be
heard by Governor Hadley in Jefferson
City, Mo, tomorrow.
Now the facts are, that while public
sentiment here is in favor of Mrs
Bleakley and against the abductors,
yet there has been no hint or thought
of violence nor is there any sentiment
expressed that would tend to inf1uenc,
a court at law.
Assistant County Attorney Atchison
today secured a new requisition from
Governor Stubs for Mrs. Barclay and
Gentry. The first requisition refers to
Gentry as John Gentry, when in
reality the defendants christian name
is Joseph. The mistake was made by
the county authorities from reading the
press reports from Kansas City which
referred to John Gentry as one of
the abductors- The other requisition is
at Jefferson City and cannot be cor
rected so in case of the attorneys for
the defense attempting to raise the
point of a technicality over the requisi-
ton another requisition containing the
correct name of Gentry was secured
Attorney Atchison and Sheriff Norton
will leave tonight for Jefferson City to
attend the hearing tomorrow

I want the Missouri court to give me

Monday, August 16. charged with the
murder of his sweetheart. Mabel Cren-
shaw, at Kansas City the Saturday
night previous, has been taken back
to face a trial for his life by City De-
tective ]. G. Morris of that city.
White was arrested here Monday by
Sheriff George M. Duckworth only a
few minutes after a description of the
man had been placed in the officer S
hands, and at first denied his identity.
Later he admitted that his name was
White, but denied that he had done
anybody any HARM and he persisted
il this denial.
Upon being arrested and informed
where he was wanted. the negro read
lily consented to accompany the officer
ton papers. On the strength of this
promise, Detective Morris came at once
to Hutchinson, arriving here Tuesday.
But in the interim, White changed his
mind. and when confronted by the Kan
sas City officer, fatty refused to go
without requisition.
Detective Morris Immediately went
back to Missouri and procured the nee
essary authority to take his prisoner
out of the state. and returning, reach
ed here last night. returning to Kansas
City with his charge at once.
White again showed signs of fear
when the officer arrived, but made a
strong effort to assume an attitude of
ronchalance. and did not finch when
his hands were shackled. During his
stay here of a little over week.
White has had little to say to anybody.
When questioned regarding his past he
has always refused to talk except to
protest his innocence of any crime in
connection with his leaving Kansas
City. The officers say that, beyond any
doubt, they have the right man.
