"such" Makes Difference

Chanute, Kans., Feb. 15-The
word "such" in the law making
the sale of tobacco to minors a
misdemeanor brought about the
acquittal of F. C. Alexander, of
this city, against whom charge
of the kind had been brought.
Judge James w, Finley of the
Neosha county district court in
structed the jury to bring in a
verdict of not guilty, his ruling
establishing an i'm portant inter
probation of the law.
The act makes it misdem can
or for a minor to use tobacco in
any form on any public road,
street, alley, park or other lands
used for public purposes or in
any public place of BUSINESS.
The next section declares that
every person who shall furnish
tobacco to "such" minor commits
a mlsdeamor.
Attorneys Tor Mr.. Alexander
raised the point that evidence
had not been presented to show
that, even if Mr.. Alexander bad
sold tobacco to minors, as baC
been charg ed, any "such" minors
used such tobacco IN public OF
had been guilty of mfsdemean
or III connection Herewith.

We have been reliably inform

The Nellie Byers Case

1t seems that the Nellie ByerS
murder case is still unsolved.
Last Thursday evening rumor
reached this city that Bert Drake
a neighbor and old time school
friend of Miss Byers, who is at
present clerk of the district
court of Grant county, had made
confession in which he claimed
to have committed the murder in
conjunction with Archie Sweet.
The rumor spread rapidly over
town and 1T was further report.
ed that Drake had been brought
to Dodge City and lodged in Jail.
Inq uiry at the sheriff's Office
soon revealed that the whole re-.
port was ficticious and absolute
ly without foundation. Notwith
standing this fact however, sew
eral of the daily newspapers on
the following day published the
sensational story.
Investigation shows that no
new clew has been developed and
that the whole horrible crime is
just as mysterious now as when
the dead body of the unfortunate
Miss Byers was discovered on
the prairie the morning after her
disappearance.
In the mean time Archie Sweet
is stillin the Dodge City jail and
from all accounts nonew evidence
has been unearthed. Every
thing so far reported in the de-
velopments of the case is wholly
fictitious and evidently the Grant
county authorities know no more
about the crime than they did a
few days after its preparation
The next regular term of the
district court in Grant county
convenes in April and unless
Sweet asks for change of venue
the case must be tried in that
county. Under the law the state
cannot ask for change of venue
as the Kansas law provides that
criminal cases must be tried in
the county in which the crime
was committed unless the accus-
cd asks for q trial in another
county Tor thr reason that pre-
jodice may prevent a fair and
impartial trial of the case. Sweet
has not yet employed an attor-
nea and still claims his entire in
n0cen4e Of The crime.

opinion Of unbiased observers
that the Who'll matter has been
very poorly handled. limo otl-
