Sister, Facing Same Charge,
Also Released

Sioux Falls, s. D., Oct. 27.-(R)-
Mrs. Fern Mae Sankey had been
freed Saturday of completely charges
in the Charles Boettcher II kidnap-
ing case in which her husband, the
late Verne Sankey, played q notori-
Gus role.
After celebrating more than four
hours, a federal court jury here re-
turned verdict of acquittal Friday
night. Mrs. Sankey's sister, Mrs. Al
vina Kohler, against whom similar
charges are pending, was released on
her own recognizance.
The trial, ghost Of that evolving
from the kidnapping in 1888 of the
wealthy Denver broker by Verne
Sankey, virtually ended the famed
case and its ramifications. Officials
indicated little evidence was avail
able against Mrs. Kohler, and her
case probably will be quashed,
Smilingly Mrs. Sankey received the
verdict. contrast to her semi-hys-
terical condition at the opening Of
the final trial session Friday. It was
the second time Mrs. Sanley had
faced the ordeal Of q jury,s decision
She was tried with Mrs. Kohler at
Pierre last May, but the jury failed
to reach q verdict after 28 hours de-
liberation.
Mrs. Sankey indicated she would
return Saturday to her ranch home
at Gam Valley, S. d., with her two
young children. Boettcher was held
captive on the ranch by Sankey and
his henchmen after his abduction
Feb. IL. 1888. Sixty thousand dol
lars ransom was paid for the brokers'
release.
Three men are serving prison terms
for their parts in the kidnapping
They are Gordon Alcorn, who was the

PRICES ON
LIQUOR PROMISED
Forecast by DistilIers Based on
Increase in Storage
Supplies

Washington, Oct. Cheaper
prices for better liquor were promis-
ca Saturday by the nations distillers
James M. Doran, supervisor Of the
distillers' code authority, predicted
that by the years end liquor mellow
ed in the keg for l2-month would
be available at about the same prices
charged for month-old stuff last
January.
His forecast was based on the fact
that considerable new whisky flow
ed into warehouses last January, and
some Of 1t still Is there.
Since repeal, the distillers have been
trying to build up depleted stocks Of
aged whisky in addition to meeting
current demands. Information gath
cred by the alcohol control admins
tration indicates they have increased
the amount of spirits In warehouses
to about $4,000. 900 gallons. compared
to 100000 or l8.0o00 900 at the time
Of repeal.
Officials estimated that withdraw
ais from warehouses to meet con-
sumption will amount to 35.000.O0
gallons during the year ending this
November. This will be far less than
|pre-repeal predictions. Tax revenues
to the government have been corre-
spondingly discouraging.

Judge Daniel B. Holt as means ol

The jury, in its verdict, provided
for no Jail sentence but imposed the

Farr's counsel presented evidence
to show Farr was without means tc
pay the fine. The lawyer argued that
to commit Farr to jail would be in

Farm Debt Act Abuse
By Attorneys Alleged

Washington, Oct. 27.-(ReAn as
sertion that unscrupulous attorneys
were persuading reluctant farmers to
take advantage Of the Frazier-Lemke
debt moratorium measure was made
Saturday by farm credit adminktra-
ton officials.
The Frazier -Lemke bill provides
machinery for q drastic scaling down
Of farm indebtedness under federal
court supervision and for five-year
moratorium for the debtor il the
attempt at adjustment fails. He
must 60 bankrupt to get the mora
torium. Financial interests regard
the measure as an example Of radical
and dangerous legislation.
Reports to the FCA are that the in
crease in the number Of cases filed
under the Frazier-Lemke act in the
second and fourth Land bank districts
are attributable largely to . systematic
effort by some lawyers to get bust
ness.
The second land bank district in
cludes Pennsylvania, Virginia. West
