GENTRY FILES PAPER.
AFFIDAVIT Alleging the Prejudice
Against Him.

Declaring the adverse comment pub
Hshed in the Topeka papers concerning
his part in the alleged kidnapping OF
Marian Bleakley has caused such
feeling against him that it is impossi-
BILE for him to secure a fair and I'M
partial trial by a Shawnee county jury
]. N Gentry well known for his part
in the alleged kidnapping of the fincu-
bator baby today filed a petition for
change of venue with r. T.. Thomas.
clerk of the district court. He recites
the history of the incubator baby and
tells of the various plans to raise
money here for the purpose of proseeut-
ing him for his alleged part in the af-
fair.
After reciting the history of the liti-
cation over the incubator baby he de-
elares that after his arrest and return
to Topeka mob violence was feared for
him. He then tells of the alleged ac-
tons of the two daily papers here. These
papers, he alleges, possess a large and
controlling influence" among the peo-
pie of Topeka and Shawnee county, and
Immediately after the alleged kidnap-
ing they made "uncalled for COM
ments'' and reflections upon his
character which greatly tended to
arouse unduly the passions and preju-
dices and greatly excite practically all
of the people in Shawnee county, This
prejudice still EXISTS. he says.
Gentry charges that the Topeka Cap

money to defray expenses incurred in
his prosecution. over 200 citizens of
Topeka and Shawnee county, he says,
subscribed to the fund. Another fund
was raised by subscription at the Pru-
Dental Trust company's office he de-
clares and he says he does not know
how many people contributed to it.
An interview given out by Governor
Stubs also helped create a prejudice
against him, Gentry alleges. The gov
ernor declared the penalty for kidnap-
ing was not severe enough, he declares
and thus assisted in causing a preju-
dice against him. He says that hun
dreds of people purchased Marian
Bleakly postcards. which were sold for
the purpose of raising money to pros
ecute him, and that the business houses
sold them without profit. A trolley ride
was also given to assist in raising mon
ey for this purpose. and hundreds OF
more Topeka people were thus preju-
diced against him.
In his petition Gentry also declares
that for several days after the alleged
kidnapping the people stood upon the
streets and discussed the details OF
the char Ses and the alleged kidnap-
ing and openly denounced the defend
ant, and made many unca1led for com
ments which tended to create a passion
and prejudice in the minds of the peo-
pie which prejudice still exists.
