more thoroughly in the September
hearing.
Topeka Doctors Called

Ben F. Endres, a Leavenworth law
yer and member of the legislature, ap-
peared with Judge Day of Greensburg
in urging a parole. They claimed that
Mrs. Bucks death was due to natural
causes as a result of her condition at
the time. Drs. w. F.. Bowen, L. H.
Mum, j. c. McClintock of Topeka;
and DR.. w. P. Callahan of Kingman,
defended Bucks position from a
medical standpoint. After listening to
arguments for an entire half day, the
governor stated that the hearing
would be resumed September 10.
THE case promises to resolve itself
into a fight among medical authori-
ties in the state" said Endres today.
Much the same opinion was held by
John w. Davis, representing the state.
THE people of Kiowa county don't
want Buck paroIed,'' said the Green's
burg lawyer. There isn't any doubt
about the evidence in this case and a
parole would be a miscarriage of JUS
tice. Yet there is every chance of
hard fight with medical men of the
state over the case"
Buck was convicted in May, 1911,
for the murder of his wife in October,
1910. The case was affirmed by the
supreme court and Suck has been in
the state penitentiary d little less than
three years Applications for parole
were denied by Governors Stubs and
Hodges. Now the case is up to Gov
ernor Capper.

FIGHT over BUCK
Parole Case Develops Into a
Battle of Doctors.
An Adjourned Hearing Will Be
Held Sept. 10.

Kansas legal and medical auttori-I
ties may go to war in the fight before
Governor Capper for parole for DR..
G. w. Buck of Kiowa county, sent to
the state penitentiary for wife murder.
The governor stated today that the
second chapter of the Buck case
would be reviewed September 10. In
the meantime both state attorneys and
friends of Dr. Buck in the medical
profession are preparing for a bitter
fight.
Lawyers in the case spent most of
today studying records and evidence
in the case. John w. Davis of Green's
burg, who is directing the main fight
against the Buck parole, made one of
the most forceful and effective argu-
ments presented in a parole case in
many months. He reviewed in an eff
fective manner the evidence in the
trial of the case and fought the argu-
ments of medical authorities that Mrs.
Buck might have died from natural
causes. In his argument he produced
a bottle of cyanide from which he
claimed Mrs. Buck had been given the
fatal poison.
Closing the argument against
parole. c. H. Bissett, county attorney
of Kiowa county, produced a letter
from Kentucky which charged in sub
stance that DIR. Buck had been reSpOn-
sible for the death of a former wife
by poisoning. The wOmanS life had
been insured only a few days before
her death and Buck is alleged TO have
collected some of the insurance before
leaving the state. This matter, it was
asserted today, would be entered upon

WANTS TO BUY A BOAT
Prisoner in County Jail Negotiates for
$4,000 Craft.

Being in the county Jail and facing
four months confinement in cell has
not deferred Frank Warren from max
ing. plans for the future. This "hon-
himself in the prolific correspondence
he has been carrying on-wantS to buy
a 5000 boat from the Mathew Boat
company, Port Clinton, Ohio. He has
not said just what he wants to do with
the craft when he gets it but he has
a desire for such a boat and has been
conducting negotiations, smuggling
letters out of the Jail. so as to be sure
that he could buy the boat.
This morning Harvey Parsons, chief
of police, turned over to Sheriff L. L..
Kiene, letter from the boat COM
pany. The letter says:
I'VE have been in receipt of letters
from Hon. Frank Warren, 215 West
Fifth ST., your city. Mr.. Warren has
represented himself to be a man of
wealth and states that he is interested
in boat at the cost of $75,0O0- We
are informed from Bradstreet that
this gentleman is now enjoying six
months in Jail. We would like to have
this corroborated by you and would
appreciate any information"
Sheriff Kiene has informed the ship
company that the address given by
the Hon" Frank Warren is identical
with that of the county Jail and that
the gentleman has four months
more time to serve for working" To-
peka merchants out of pipes, cigars,
cameras, shirt waists and other arti-
cles
Frank Warren, with his mother and
brother, John Warren, carried on eX-
tensive operations in Topeka. Mrs
Warren would represent herself as a
woman of wealth and would buy ar
ticles on credit then her two sons
would go out and sell the articles. The
trio has operated in Kansas City,
Wichita and Hutchinson, as we'll as in
Topeka. Warren is smooth cor"
artist and he is a very clever writer.
Not only has he been negotiating for
$4,000 boat but he also has been
writing to womens clubs over the
state, asking them to become inter-
ested in his case.
