MAY BURNETT FREED
jury Declined to Believe the Story
Told by the Stark Boy.

Following the story told yesterday
by 14-year-old Albert Stark of his re-
lations with May Burnett. a 45-year-
old woman, wherein he testified that
she had taught him to steal and given
him instructions in other things no
14-year-old boy should know about. a
jury in the probate court found May
Burnett not guilty.
The jury didn't believe the boys
story.
1t believed the story told by the
Burnett woman-how she had taken
the boy in because his home condi-
lions were bad and acted as a sort of
second mother to him.
After the verdict was announced
May Burnett shook hands with each
of the jurors and congratulated him
on the verdict. Then she went to the
telephone and called up DIR. Eva Hard
ing, who ordinarily signs her bond
when she is brought into court.
One juror stated after the hearing
that he didn't believe the Burnett wo-
man should be found guilty because
the mother of the Stark boy didn't
seem to take the matter very seriously
Another stated that his reason lay in
the fact that the boy had been such a
bad youngster before he went to live
with the Burnett woman.
I'm my opinion said Judge Hugh
MacFarland, who sat in the case this
is one of the most important cases I
have ever had before me. But after
noting the lack of interest taken in
| it the verdict did not surprise me-

BONNER IS SET FREE
State Failed to Make Case Against
the Accused Man.

Phil Bonner, charged with at
tempted white slavery" in a complaint
sworn to by the mother of seven year
old Genevieve Jacobs, was discharged
after a preliminary hearing III the
court of Topeka today. Tinkham Neale
took Judge Fishers place on the
bench because Of Fishers activities in
connection with the invest CATION fol-
lowing the filing of the complaint.
The state had nothing upon which
to hold Bonner. He was charged with
attempting to entice the Jacobs girl
into a house on Western avenue for
immoral purposes.
The girl told her story to the court
and the attorneys, in chambers. She
stated that at no time did Bonner lay
hands upon her; that he merely asked
her to so into the house with him
and that she refused to go. She said
he made no motions and said nothing
more to indicate what his purpose was.
Otis Hungate. attorney for Bonner,
moved to quash on the ground that
there had been nothing introduced to
show any intent on Bonners part and
that even if he had intended the
things charged the spoken word con-
stituted solicitation and not attempt
ed white slavery" He held that there
must be some overt act committed be-
| fore there was an attempt.
After hearing the story of the girl,
| the court sustained Hungate's mo-
ton and discharged Bonner. W. E
-Atchison, county attorney, was not
| surprised. He stated at the time the
case was filed that there was very lit
tie to go on, but that something ought
to be done
There is still a police court war
rant hanging over Bonner, charging
him with indecent exposure of person.
Bonner is a paroled prisoner from
the county Jail and Hugh Fisher, who
paroled him, was not certain today
whether or not he would revoke the
parole. He stated that he would at
tend the hearing in police court and
| that if it was shown there that Bon
ner is guilty of any misdeed he would
recall the parole and place Bonner in
Jail for the full period of his original
Sentence-one year.

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots
How to Remove Easily

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that 1t
will not cost you a penny unless it re-
moves the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-

Simply get an ounce of othine-

and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove freck-
