p. L. G. Files MandamuS Pro-
ceedings in Supreme Court.

Mandamus proceedings to compel
the Kansas Natural Gas company to
show cause for its order increasing

companies buy their supplies from
the Kansas Natural.
Recently the producing company

that the rate would be increased from

Natural asserted that the Oklahoma
commission allowed a 35-cent rate in
that state and urged that an increased
charge was necessary for transporting
gas to Kansas and to cover leakage

Bolin was charged with first degree
arson in connection with the deaths
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Owens, whose
charred bodies were found in the
ashes of their farm home near Berry
ton the night of February 20, 1921.
He was picked up for investigation
few days after the fire and has been
in the Shawnee county jail ever since.
Found Guilty Last November.
Bolin was found guilty by jury In
Judge George Whitcomb's court last
November. Like Rufe King of Maple
Hill fame, the mans conviction was
made almost entirely upon circum-
stantial evidence. He attempted to
prove an alibi. but failed to convince
the jury.
the motion for the new trial were
made this morning. After the motion
was overruled. Bolin was asked by
Judge Whitcomb if he cared to say
anything before sentence was pro-
nounced. Bolin shambled across the
room to the rail in front of the Judge
Whitcomb's bench, spat large
amount of tobacco juice into the Gus
pidor. and said smilingly:
Says He Is Not Guilty.
Nothing. except that I'm not gull
ty. I'm going to serve time for some-
thing 1 never did. If VIC could just get
a new trial l think we could convince
the court"
Bolin still sticks to the story that he
was with Mrs. Kate Wiscombe in To-
peka the night OF the fire. He declares
he met her about 9 o'clock near the
Santa Fe depot. walked down the
tracks with her TO the vicinity of
Tenth avenue and remained there
with her until I o'clock in the morn
ing. Mrs. WiscOmbe. admitting that
she and Bolin had been friendly. firm
" denied that she had seen him that
night. Other witnesses were produced
by the state to show that she was in
her boarding house during the eve
ming.
Says He Saw BoIin.
John Hebcrling. a farmer living
near Pauline. testified that he saw a
man crossing field near his house in
the carly evening from the direction
Of Pauline toward Berryton. Heber-
ling said Il was a bright moonlight
night. and that he recognized the man
as Jim Bolin. The footprints made
by this man Tailed precisely with Bo-
Inns shoes, according to officers who
examined them The possibility of
recognizing man at suche a distance
in the moonlight was a great bone of
Tense attempted to introduce expert
testimony ON the subject but it was
ruled out on the ground that the
