governor Of that state for the return
OF c. Randall Sparks, the suave attor-
ney and alleged master conspirator
in the kidnapping episode, to Aledo for
trial. Sparks, it is reported here, will
fight hard against being released to
the Illinois authorities. At the pres
ent time he is out on bond at Kansas
City, where he was apprehended sew
eral weeks ago and where he Is re-
ported to be connected with law
firm.
Sparks, during the last few days,
has been trying to avoid being brought
back here by making promises to the
guardian He sent H. c. Bernard, gem
eral manager of the Commercial Bro
kerage company of Kansas City, to
Aledo to sound Henderson through
Attorney Wilson, and he made the
plea that Sparks was broken in health
and could not stand the strain of ar
rest and trial.
1t was suggested at the conference
with Mr.. Wilson that Sparks be re-
leased from further legal action if he
reimbursed Mr. Henderson for the
large amount of money that has been
spent hiring detectives and running
down the several persons who are
alleged to have planned and executed
the kidnapping.
Early Hearing Sought.
Mr.. Wilson is reported to have told
Sparks representative that he could

promise of immunity. What success

If Sparks is extradited, and it Is

spirators will have been rounded up,
and an effort will be made to secure
an early hearing of the case, which
promises to be the most interesting
that Mercer county has experienced in
long time. Anna Louise Garrett
