STRANGE CAREER OF
NOTED BOY CONVICT
Twenty-Five Years Ago Was Defend
ant in Sensational Trial for
Murder of Four Persons.

Murder of Four Persons.
Kansas City, Mot was seven
years ago last Christmas Day that
Willie Sells, who was sent tc the Kan
sas State penitentiary when boy to
serve q life sentence for the murder OF
his mother and father and brother and
sister, sat in the library of the epeniten-
tiary waiting for a Christmast gift
that did not come.
He had expected it all that day, an
envelope from the Governor Of Kansas
containing his pardon.
It was gloomy Christmas that day
for Willie Sells, but he didn't lose
hope. ut may come next Christmas" :"
he thought as he flung himself on his
narrow prison bed He worked on and
on at his task assigned by the warden
until the following April Then one
day when he wasn't expecting it the
warden called him to the office and
handed him the letter with the pardon.
That night Will Sells left the Kan
sas penitentiary behind him. No money
in his pockets, few friends, but q de-
sire and will to make good that was
all he had
It was long time coming, but it
was worth waiting for" w. 3 Sells,
druggist, said the other day in his own
drug store at Thirteenth st. and Car
field Ave, Kansas City, Kan. I've
been out seven years now and I have
worked hard to show the world that
man can make good even if he has
spent eighteen long years behind the
walls of penal institution
It was the same Willie Sells who
twenty-five years ago figured in one Of
the most sensational murder cases in
the history Of the west
Through the long dreary days Of his
trial for the quadruple murder Willie
Sells maintained his innocence. His
conviction was based on circumstan-
tial evidence. The trial was held at
Trie, Kan
Sympathizers with the boy, who be
lieved he had been prosecuted, started
many petitions to obtain his relase
without success. A petition containing
thousands OIL names OF persons IN all
parts Of the state and some from 9th IL
states was presented to Governor Hoch
seven years ago and it was planned to
free Sells on Christmas Day, but Gov
ernor Hocl delayed the matter until
April
Willie Sells cheat his way back" by
hard work His education practically
was obtained in the penitentiary He
worked some in the prison drug store,
where he learned to fill prescriptions
So when he got out he obtained en-
ployment in a drug store in small
western Kansas town. He worked and
saved his money. Three years ago he
came to Kansas City and obtained en-
ployment in the store he now owns

In Are YCu a Mason?" Mr..
Barrymore portrays the charact-
er of Frank Perry, dashing
young married man of exuberant
spirits and vivid imagination.
When his wife announces tnat
her chief desire in lire is to have
him become a Mason, Perry
grasps the opportunity it affords
for staying out several nights,
explaining his numerous alb
sences from home by the logical
statement that he is spending
his evenings at the Masonic
Lodge, undergoing the ordeals
of initiation,
One night wifey delightedly
announces that her father. Grand
Master of the Masons, is coming
to visit them. Perry's agonized
efforts to keep his father-in law
from discovering his deception,
and the fearful tangles in which
he becomes involved thereby,
eliminating in situation which
is one of the funniest climaxee
ever conceived, furnish the hum
or Of the farce, which is further
heightened by the fact that the
Grand Master has also deceived
his family, is not a Mason, and
is constantly manufacturing 9th

first falsehood.

by his clever son-in- law, who
