James Matthews, the baby Bald Knobber, was admitted to bail in $500 in each case. D. M. Payne went on his bond and he was released and told to go home andhelp his mother make a living and not meet with any more Bald Knob- bers. He had been in jail about one year and when his mother met him in the court house yard and kissed him after he was released it was pitiful sight. William Stanley plead guilty to murder in the second degree. He said he was in the house on the night of the killing of Green and Edens and hada gun, but did not kill anybody. He asked the mercy of the court. upand the judge asked him if he had anything to say why sentence a j but pro book not injured he jand made the third attempt which S. H.

Upon examination it was found that his skull was crush- ed in the back of his head and the right temple, a gash being cut on the back of his head probably six inches in length, and a small gash in right side of forehead. The jaw bone was crushed, having a se- vere cut under the chin which was about two inches in length. His neck was broken as wasalso his right arm, just below the shoulder. He received other injuries about the body which were slight. There were two or three other younger boys with him but when they saw him fall they turned and ran away.

News of the commission's action was at once telegraphed to Marshall 1 by the committee of her citizens who were in Kansas City presenting that city’s claims. The news reach- ed Marshall at 6:30 o'clock lastnight and occasioned great rejoicing. The court house bell was rung, the en- gine whistles were blown and the citizens gathered together to rejoice over the news, as it was considered agreat victory over Sedalia. The committee returned to Marshall last night and was met at the depot by a great crowd. Bonfires were lit and speeches of congratulation made.
