pictures came into Topeka for inspec-

of the Frank hanging. While Miss
Carrie Simpson was using the shears
to good advantage on her picture, TAX

who said that no Frank pictures would
be shown until W. d. Ross, state sup

official state film censor, passed upon

but is expected tC return to Topeka in

that she required, 30 she was brot
here to be cared for by her son.
Either the exhaustion occasioned
by the trip or the change of climate
or both, seemed to cause a rapid

Roy Gardner, who accompanied
her from Colorado, and who was
very much attached to her, remain
to help care for her to the end. Flu
