In his answer to the Wagstaf meeting
that he had spent more, but cowardly
attempted to shift the responsibility
onto the legislators. These expendi-
lures pertain solely to money spent and
not to money appropriated; and for
these expenditures Governor Stubbs
and his boards are solely responsible.
Does the governor comprehend the

New York. April 30.-Miss Lor-
raine Emo of Washington Heights and
Lieut.. Collin H. Ball, Fifth infantry,
of Plattsburg barricks, who went into
the regular army through the Twen-
tieth Kansas, were married al o'clock
this afternoon.
Lieutenant Balls home was in
Parker, Kan, and Miss Emo was born
in Wichita. Their marriage completes
a romance which began three years
ago, when Lieutenant Ball picked up
a newspaper and caught his first
glimpse of the girl he was to marry.
Miss Emo was a senior then in the
Wadleigh high school. She was a
member also of the Heart club. an
organization of the girls of the school,
and what Lieutenant Ball saw was a

Everyone in Readiness for Kid
naping Trial in HOltOn.
Attorneys for the Defense Have
Been Lined Up for Fray.
WHO WILL BE SICK?
This Is Question Asked by the
Shawnee County Officers.
Defense Is Anxious to Take the
Case From Schenck's Hands.

Witnesses have been subpoenaed, the
dates set, attorneys retained and every
thing is in readiness for the trial of the
famous incubator baby case at jack
son county court house commencing
Wednesday u. next week. 1t is pretty
certain that an effort will be made by
the defendants to have the trial post
poned but this will be opposed bitterly.
This trial was to have been held In
Topeka some time ago but attorneys
for the defense secured a change of
venue through the district court Of
Shawnee county. The case was sent tn
Holton in Jackson county because it
was said that the sentiment aroused by
the newspapers in Topeka made it i'm
possible to secure an impartial jury.

papers from this city are read as

Expect Short Trial.
It is the opinion of the officials in
Topeka that the case will not consume
very much time in Holton. The
county attorney believes he has a
good case. against the alleged kid
napers and he is not backward in say
ing SO.
There are two charges against each
of the alleged kidnapers-with the ex-
ception of David Gregg. Mrs Bar
clay, Gentry, Tillotson and Randolph
will all be tried on a charge of 'as-
sault with intent to kilI'' and kid
naping." David Gregg of Topeka Is
not supposed to have been in the as
sault case and he will be tried on the
charge of kidnapping.
The attorneys for Mrs. Barclay are
Edwin D. McKeever of Topeka. Frank
Milton of Kansas City; D. c. Tfllotson
of Topeka, and Edward Wright of
Kansas City. Joseph Gentry will
have Dennison, Nation & Grant of
Erie and Phil Wilson of Topeka. Ran
Grover of Kansas City. Gregg will
have Joe Reed of Topeka.
Cost Will Be Heavy.

Schenck that this case will cost the

state at least $1,000. Over half a
hundred witnesses have been sub
poenaed for the trial. Each witness
gets $1.50 a day while he is at Hol-
ton and ten cents a mile railroad fare.
This will easily amount to $1,000 and
If the case drags along it will be
much more.
It is not thought that the case will
go into the question of who is entitled
to the custody of the child, Marian
Bleakley. AS to who has the right to
the child from the time of its birth
in St. Louis and the trouble over the
adoption, it is not figured that any
thing of this nature ill be brought
forth.
The assault with intent to kill and
the kidnapping of the baby from the
home of its grandmother, Mrs.
Thompson, 1929 Garfield street, To-
peka, is the bone of contention. It
is thought that attorneys for the de-
fense will try to keep their men out
of Jail and make no effort to secure
the child.

The trial at HoltOn next week is going
TO be fight. County Attorney Schenck
Is lined up against some of the best
talent Of Topeka and Kansas City The
merits Of the case have been threshed
out for so many years and through so
many courts that the fight has de-
veloped into a sharp battle of law COM
bined with a few facts and figures
The defendants are Mrs. Stella Bar
clay of Buffalo, N. Y, who is alleged
TO have been the prime mover in the
kidnapping OF the Bleakley child last
August; Joseph N. Gentry of Kansas
City, detective who is supposed to
have been the active agent in the can
turing of -he child and in the assault
of Clarence Belknap who defended the
child; Frank H. TillotSon of Kansas
City, head of a detective agency who is
thought to be the power behind the
Gentry throne;" Joseph Randolph IF
Kansas City who is said to have oper-
ated the automobile which was used IN
the escape; David Gregg of Topeka
who is alleged to have been in the
conspiracy.
Get Rid of Schenck.
It is known that the real wish of tho
defense is to get rid of County Attor-
ney Schenck- Mr.. Schenck has been
county attorney ever since this trial
came up through the courts in this city
and he has been active and instru-
mental on behalf of the state and the
prosecution.
If the alleged kidnapers are able to
have the case postponed before it
come to trial and have it taken I'D
later under a new county attorney
because Mr.. Schenck will not be in Of
f1ce after this term-a big part of the
battle will have been won. Mr.. Schenck
IS the man most feared by the defense.
His excellent array of witnesses. his
close connection with the case and his
knowledge of the inner-workings. OF the
defense make him a dangerous man to
fight.
When the case was called the last
time Joseph Gentry was said to have
fallen from a horse and injured him
self in such a manner as to prevent
him from attending the trial The
prosecution fully expects another such
accident to happen this time
Mr.. Schenck has always been hit
terly opposed to the case going to an
other county.
They are just as excited in Jack
son county-and even more so-than
in Topeka or Shawnee county" said
Mr.. Schenck. "I would not be a hif

FEAR VOL YES ATE Her.
Whole Country Around Bennington
Excited Over Disappearance of Child.

Bennington, Kan, April 30.-Early
last evening the three year old daugh-
ter of c. S. Slago, living several miles
northeast of here strayed from home.
A thorough search of the premises
was made which resulted in failure.
A number of searching parties were
then organized and by midnight men
in automobiles, in buggies and on
horseback were securing the country
in search Of the missing child.
AS that part of the country in
which the child is supposed to be lost
is open wild and rugged and infested
by wolves it is feared that she will
fall victim to the ferocious animals
and that only her barred bones will be
found.

Result Causes Sensation.

There was a sensation when the
news reached the streets. People could
not believe that little Walcott had
beaten Choynski, the great fighter, who
had drawn with Jeffries. There was
more of sensation a day later when
the facts leaked out Public sentiment
condemned the crooked work of a few
men, and in the revulsion of feeling
caused by it the game of glove fighting
was legally wiped out in New York.
Choynski gave out the facts, and his
statement was backed by a reputable
physician, DR.. Joseph Muir, of Al West
Thirty sixth street, New York.
This man Choynski," said DR.. Muir,
went into the ting with a broken rib.
He should never have done what he
did. He is a patient of mine and was
under my treatment for his broken rib,
and also for All attack of influenza"
But that didn't give back his $1,000
to Al Smith or a great many thou
sands of dollars to other victims.
And-the funny part-it didn't take
that title of giant killer away from
Welter- weight Joe Walcott.

Negro Fights FuriousIy.

But in the fourth Walcott jumped In
again harder than ever and made try
after try until he landed squarely on
the broken rib again. Choynski, in dis
tress. could not straighten up. His
Jaw was in easy reach now and Wal
colt hammered him around the ring
until the white man was groggy and
spattered with gore.
All through the fifth and the sixth
alcott failed away as fast as he could
hit seldom missing Choynskis head
with his terrific wallops. The fiaxen-
haired fighter was Keeling from side to
side as Walcott beat him with left ana
right but no gamer man than Choyn-
tried his best to fight back Now, weak
and dizzy and nearly out, his blows
wouldn't have hurt a child, and for the
first time Walcott grinned.
The seventh saw the end Walcott
sprang at Choynski like a bulldog and
beat him all over the ring. 1T was a
pitiful sight. All that the big fellow
could do now was fall in with arms
extended, and try to clinch. Walcotr
rained blows about his ears and on his
Jaw and sank the sodden gloves into
his body until there was nothing left
of ChoynslIi, the fighter, but the dim
spark of dauntless courage that kept
him on his feet. The crowd was in an
uproar. Even those who had wagered
fortunes on Choynslzi were calling for
the referee to stop it.
Wolcott knocked the half senseless
man fiat with a right handler. He rose.
