COLLINS DID NOT
MURDER FATHER
Emporia. Kan., March 2ti. Louis'
T. W. Archer, a necro recently re
leased from tho penitentiary for nil
assault with a deadly weapon, has
written a book on the famous John
Collins murder trial. In which ho ul
lesos an offer was made to him and
two other negroes to kill Collins, nnd
assorts that John Collins, now serving
a life sentence for the murder of his
father, is Kiilltless.
The Collins trial was olio of Ihe
most sensational ever held In Kansns,
James Collins, ofTopeka, a wealthy
real estate man, was murdered In
his homo May 13, 1S98, supposedly
by robbers. John, then a student In
the Kaiisna University, was arrested
and convicted upon tho testimony of
two negroes. The state charged that
Collins murdered his father to Rnln
an Inheritance that he might marry a
wealthy woman. Collins maintained
ills innocence and it was shown thai
the father 'and son wore on the most,
friendly terms.
An effort will be made to secure
his pardon.
