BACK TO PRISON
Wayne X. Stalnacker Trapped
by Clever Ruse.
Had Eluded Penitentiary. OFF,
cials and Fought for Freedom.

Wayne K Stalnacker, former
Methodist minister, was today return
ed to the state penitentiary at Lam
sing to complete a term of years for
criminal assault ON his 14-year-old
niece in Ellis county. Stalnacker was
permitted to go to the deathbed of
his mother in West Virginia several
months ago. He refused to return to
the penitentiary and through a clever
ruse. secured personal service on
Warden J. d. Botkin in habeas corups
proceedings in Jackson county, Mis-
souri,. 1t was through the work of J.
E. Coleman, assistant attorney gen.
eral. and Deputy Warden Fitzgibbon
that the former minister was returned
to prison.
Three years ago Stalnacker was
convicted in the Ellis county district
court on a charge Of criminal assault.
His. 14-year-oid niece was the com
plainant. Since being taken to prison,
Stalnacker's friends had used their in
fluence to secure q parole. Even
threats were mixed with the pleas for
kin and the prison chaplain took a
personal interest in Stalnacker's case.
Some months ago Stalnacker's mother
became dangerously sick at her home
in West Virginia. On his own recog-
nizance, the former preacher was per-
mitted to go to the woman's bedside.
She died several weeks ago and Stall
hacker returned to Kansas City and
notified the prison warden that he
would come no further. He had form
erly filed habeas corpus proceedings in
the Leavenworth court to secure hie
freedom and the case is now pending
in the supreme court. When Stalnacker
failed to report at the prison, Warden
Botkin went to Kansas City to see the
man. but failed to secure his arrest.
While in the city, Botlin was served
with papers In q habeas corpus pro-
ceeding IN the Missouri court.
1t was with this situation that Gov
ernor Hodges issued a governors war
rant for the arrest Of Stalnacler and
his return to prison. The warrant was
placed in the hands of J. E. Coleman,
assistant attorney general and Deputy
Warden Fitxgibbon- Stalnacker was
found in a Kansas City hotel Wednes-
day night In company with his aftor-
ney. While Coleman engaged the Jaw
yer in conversation. FItxxibbon and two
detectives arrested Stalnacker and took
him to the Kansas side. He was today
committed to the penitentiary to serve
the remainder OF his term.
