ACCIDENT, SAYS
v. I. ANDERSON
That is Plea of Man Accused
by State With Respon-
sibility of Death.
SCOUT THEORY OF
MURDER AS ABSURD
Fact that it was Broad Daylight, with
Victims Appearance in the Open q
Mere Coincidence. are Points to be
Urgcd-Dcfendan in Jail.

Frank e. Funk. cashier of the First
National bank of Washburn, shot
down and killed by mysterious bull
let on April IA, was not murdered.
He was the victim Of an accident. The
bullet. 1t is claimed. did not come
from the Anderson home. but from a
distance of at least quarter Of a
mile. or possibly greater
That is the theory on which the de.
tense will build its fight for the free
dom of William T. Anderson, held by
the state to be responsible for the
death of Funk. as announced today by
Tracy Bangs Of this city, counsel for
the accused man.
No Motive Found.
Lack of motive on the part Of An
| derson for killing Funk will be one
OF the strong points in the defense.
Officials of the bank have made state
ments to the effect that their relations
In business and social way were
pleasant.
Fired in Broad Daylight.
The bullet that killed Funk was fir
ed in broad daylight, it being about z
o'clock in the evening. The theory
that anyone had lain in wait for Funk
is challenged on that point.
Funk Could Have Seen Anderson.
The charge that the bullet was fired
from the home Of w. T. Anderson,
through window about 35 or 40 feet
from the place were Funk was stand
ing. is contended to be absurd be-
cause Anderson would have had to
stand in a position where Funk could
easily have seen him as he emerged
from his kitchen door to pick up ms
little girl. who had stumbled and fall
ha

ed the fatal wound.
No Powder Marks in Room.
The window from which the shot
would have had to be fired was raised
only six inches from the bottom.
The muzzle of the gun would have
had to project outside of this window
to explain the absence of any powder
marks in the room.
In support of the claim that the
bullet came from a much greater dis
lance than the Anderson home 1t is
claimed that the 32-calibre special bull
let which caused Funk's death is a
nigh powered contrivance that, fired
at forty feet. would not have stopped
In its course merely by passing
through mans head. The buller
which killed Funk was found living
near his body.
Anderson in His Basement.
One point cited against Anderson -
that he failed to appear on the scene
of the killing till after a big crowd
was gathered. Anderson's own state-
ment. as it will be made on the Wit
ness stand if the case comes to trial.
will be that he was in the basemene
OF his home. He went from the base-
ment to his garage. and it was whils
there that his attention was attracted
to the Funk home by the gathering Of
a crowd. He went Immediately to the
scene.
