 Lannon's plea that he be not sentenced until Monday morning is considered strong evidence that he and persons outside of the prison had conspired to liberate Lam mons. The former educational superin- tendent offered to plead guilty several days ago if the court would agree to give him one year and one day intthe peniten- tlary.
 Judge Armstead Brown refused to ac- cept the plea of Lammons proposition as he did not consider the punishment suf- ficient for the crime.

the rounds os the room, but failed to find the young woman.
 Wood was indicted by the March term of the federal grand jury for sending an obscene letter to Miss M. Owen, a music teacher of Wichita. He was released on bond of $500. Trial had been set for September.
 The posse overlook Wood near his own place north of Belleplain. He ran from cornfield into the road and fired three bullets into his breast. Wood was brought to BeIeplain wounded fatally.
 Wood said tonight he was not sorry for what he did to the Manahans, as he intended to kill all of them. He said he did not want to kill Thompson and was sorry that he had done so.
 Wood made this statement as he was placed on a train to be taken to a We'll ington. Kans., hospital. He probably will die of his self-infieted wounds.
 Woods grudge against the Manahans, which he expected to even up by kid mapping Miss Ethel, the 22-year- daugh- ter, is based on a sale of a farm be- longing to Manahan's brother for which Matt Manahan was agent and on which Wood had paid rent.
