SECOND MAN FREED
IN URSCHEl TRIAL.
Federal Judge Clears Him of
Receiving Share in $780,
900 Ransom Plot.
BY the Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY. September 25.-
Federal Judge Edgar S. Vaught today
freed Peter Valdez, one of the Twin
Cities defendants in the Charles F.
Urschel kidnapping trial. A defense de-
murrer against Valder's indictment was
sustained The demurrer of Isador
Blumenfeld of Minneapolis was over
ruled.
Judge Vaught, in brief review of the
Government case against Valdez, de-
clared there is not sufficient evidence
to find the defendant Valdez guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt" He did not
review the evidence against Blumen-
field.
Last Saturday the court freed Charles
Wolk, Minneapolis transfer man. Five
of the Minneapolis and st. Paul de-
PENDANTS, alleged to have handled a
small part of the 100000 ransom paid
for Urschels release, remain on trial.
Besides Blumenfeld they are Sam
Kronick. Sam Kozberg. Barney Berman
and Clifford Skelly. Their defense Is
that they knew nothing of the kldnap-
ing conspiracy and that the money was
handled in liquor deal.
Sam Sayers, attorney for r. G. Shan
non. his wife, Ora, and son, Armon, on
whose Texas farm Urschel was heid
prisoner, began the opening statement
for his clients. He told the jury the
Shannons would testify substantially to
what they have already told IN state
ments to Federal agents-that the part
they played in the KIDNAPPING was forceo
upon them by George machine Gum
Kelly, one OF the actual klonapers'
Kelly is fugitive.
Kelly's wife Kathryn, who also Is
sought in connection with the kidnap-
ing. is a daughter of Mrs. Shannon by
former marriage.
Savers pictured the Shannons as
simple farm folk who had not been
aware of Kelly's criminal activities.
They had no knowledge that the
wealthy oil man was to be kidnapped
or brought to their farm, the attorney
said.
AS Savers completed his statement
ATTORNEY James H. Mathers told the
Jury that the notorious Harvey Bailey
went to the Shannon farm for the first
time in his life on August 2-after
Urschel's release-that he had no prior
knowledge of the kidnapping and that
he wouldn't have stood for 1t" II he
had known.
He told Mrs. Shannon so when she
complained about Urschel being brought
there" said MatherS.
THAT S7OO found on him was paid
to Bailey by man in Kansas City on
a debt. He didn't know 1t was Urscnei
money"
