LIFE PRISON'S XMA8
GIFT A FULL PARDON
TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 29. Governor
Hoch on December 22 pardoned John
Collins, now serving a Hfo sentence iu
the Kansas state penitentiary for the
murder of his father, J. JB. Collins,
well-to-do real estate and insurance

was made free Christmas day.
Young Collins was a student at Kan
sas university at the time of his father's
death. He was convicted on the testi
mony of three negroes, all of it being
circumstantial in character, '. ' ',.
At the trial the state set np the pica
that Collins was in love with Miss Fran
ces ' Babcock of Lawrence, Kan., and
planned the killing of his father that he
might obtain the life insurance which
the senior Collins carried upon his life.
One of the negroes upon whose testi
mony Collins was convicted has since
writton a book asserting that the testi
mony of the three negroes at the trial
was a part of a plan by enemies of
young Collins to ruin him by fixing the
responsibility for his father's death up
on him. The elder Collins was found
dead in bed one morning after a visit to
his son at Lawrence.
