ond trial of DR.. B. Clark Hyde, on
charge of numbering Col. Thomas H.
Swope was filed in the criminal court
here today The trial is scheduled to
begin October 16.
The petition for elisors also bars the
coroner who according to law might
take charge of the jury in place of
the marshal on the ground that he, too,
is prejudiced, being a witness against
the defendant. The arguments on the
motion will be heard Wednesday. State
n.ents of the deputies who had charge
of the jury at the first Hyde trial were
taken today for use at the hearing.

PARDON FOR TILLOTSON
Governor Stubbs Will Hear Detectives
Friends Thursday

Governor Stubs has granted
hearing to Kansas City friends of F.
H. TiIlotson, the Kansas City detective
convicted of completely in the Bleakley
kidnapping case, for Thursday of this
week and at the time a strong effort
will be made to secure the pardon of
the detective. Tillotson was found
guilty in the Jackson district court
and took an appeal to the supreme
court. The last named court Satur-
day handed down a decision confirm
ing the verdict of the lower court, and
unless the governor extends executive
clemency Tillotson must serve a ten
year sentence in states prison.
Tillotsons friends feel that he has
been the goat in this matter. They
argue that he was hired lsy Il woman
who had admitted legal rights TO the
child to help her kidnap Marian
Bleakley That the child was not kid
naped for ransom, but rather by her
adopted mother who loved her and
wanted to care for her as she thought
she had a right to do That Mrs
Barclay, the prime mover in the af-
fair, had been allowed to go free by

POSTPONE BALLOON RACE.
Topeka Air Contest Probably Later in
Month.

1t is probable that the inter-city
balloon race out of Topeka scheduled
for Thursday. October II, will be
postponed until the latter part of the
month. President Jacobs of the West
ern Aero association of Topeka said
this afternoon that nothing definite
could be given out at this time on ac-
count of the fact that Captain Hume
well, pilot of the Kansas City II, was
injured as a result of the international
air derby last week.
If Kansas City is without a pilot it
is possible that a postponement will
be effected at once. The loss of one
of the st. Louis balloons may cause a
delay also.
The inter-city race set for October
II, was to include balloons from St.
Louis. Kansas City, Salt Lake City
and Topeka.
