WRIT IS DENIED
Allen Refuses To Allow Renker
To Be Extradited.
Law Firm, Stone 6 McDermott,
Not Implicated.


Governor Allen today refused to ap-
prove an application for an extradi-
ton removing j. F. william Renker,
of Topeka, to Mcqueen county, Penn
sylvania, to be tried on indictments
alleging that he obtained money under
false pretenses. A number of reasons
were given by the governor for his
refusal to approve of the writ.
The fact that no action had been
taken by Pennsylvania officials to
prosecute men in their own state who
were shown to have been interested
in the offense charged against Renker
was one reason for denying extradi-
ton Another was the fact that Penn
syivania had lost her right to extra
dite by reason of the fact that action
was not taken within two years of the
alleged offenSe. Governor Allen also
held that petitioners had failed to
show that Renker was in Pennsyl-
vania at the time the alleged offense
was committed
Renker was charged in two indict-

ments with obtaining signatures to an
instrument by false pretenses. It was
charged that by these methods that
he obtained money under false pre-
lenses.
One of the strong elements in the
case in Renker's favor was the fact
that men in Pennsylvania shown to
have been connected with the affairs
of the Queen City Oil & Gas company
were never prosecuted. The further
fact that Renker was shown to have
been in Kansas and not in Pennsyl-
ivania when the alleged offense was
committed was held to be strongly in
his favor.
Numerous affidavits were offered by
Fisher in support of the writ. One was
by a Julius Carlson and alleged that

in disposing of securities and had
