Writes That Money Taken
from Him Was Not
Returned.
'RUNNER" IN PRISON
Convicted Slayer of Charles
Pscini Again Urges Speed in
Perfecting Appeal.

81 am a runner here, but don't get
out much in the air. only wish 1
could get on the farm to work; then
would get lots Of air; that's what I
need, They say we are going to have
a new warden here. | hope it will be
Mr.. Taft, because when came up here
he tfeated me like a father"
This is part of letter which the
attorneys who represented Frank Lang
have received from Frank Lang, con-
victed on a charge Of second degree
manslaughter in connection with the
Staying Of Charles Pacini. The letter
also contained declaration of charges
against the police department of Ke
nosha which may be made public later
but which were not given out by At
torney Buckmaster this morning.
Claims He Was Short Changed.
AS near as it was possible to work
out the meaning of Lang from the
portions of it made public, he insists
that he was "short-changed" by the
police department. He declares in his
letter that a hundred dollars which
was taken from his home by police Off
GERS was not returned after his CON
viction. Lang insists that much of the
money returned was in silver while he
asserts that there was a considerable
amount of paper money in the box
taken from the Lang home after his
arrest. Lang said in his letter that
when he was on the way to prison in
company with Chief of Police U'Hare
and Sheriff William Rauen, he told
these officers that all of the money had
not been returned.
Money Was Carefully Counted
At the police Office it has been re-
peatedly declared that the money that
was found in the Lang home was care
fully counted and that every cent Of
it was held and turned over to the
court for dispositiqn After the trial
of Lang, the police asked Judge Belden
to make an order disposing of the
money which had been taken from the
Lang home. The police held that this
money was the loot which Lang had
secured when the Cozy saloon was
robbed and while it was alleged that
Lang had admitted robbing the saloon
he later denied this in connection with
other denials of statements he was al
legged to have made to the police, 1t
is probable that some formal demand
will be made for an investigation of
the facts in the Lang charges.
Police officers who were connected
with the case have repeatedly declared
that they courted any investigation of
this kind. 1t can be said that Chief
OHare had nothing to do with the TAX
ing of the money from the Lang home
or in the handling of it afterward,
further than it is alleged that Lang
made a report to him of its being in
the hands of the police.
Anxious for Early Appeal.
Lang in his letter continues to urge
his attorneys to make the appeal to
the supreme court as early as possible.
Some work has been done on the per-
fecting of the appeal, but it is under
stood that the appeal will not be heard
by the supreme court until the August
term and this may result in he argu-
ment being laid over until late in the
winter eve will have the appeal
ready for hearing by the time set by
the court" said Attorney Buckmaster
this morning
Showing of Police Records.
The police records show that the sum
of $153 was taken from the Lang home
at the time of his arrest and that this
amount was turned over to Mrs. Lang
after Lang had been sentenced to pris-
on on March 18th last. At the same
time the police officers turned over to
the court the watch, ring and other
personal property belonging to Lang
which had been in the hands of the
department following his arrest Judge
Belden directed that this property be
turned over to Mrs. Lang
