25 Kentucky 'Black Legs'
Are Accused Of Raids
PRESTONSBURG, Ky., Jan. 9.-
()-A story of Kentucky mountain-
eers who wore old stockings with eye
holes over their heads on midnight
raids on cabins to beat up neighbors
of whom they didn't approve was
related here today following indict-
ment of 25 alleged "black legs."
The indictments charged them spe-
cifically with beating a country
storekeeper and farmer and were re-
turned under Kentucky's criminal
syndicalism and sedition law. Its
maximum penalty is 21 years and
$10,000 fine.
In addition five of the band were
indicted on charges of banding and.
confederating and bonds fixed at $2,-
000 each.

Final Defense
Husband Tells DeVine He
Knew Nothing Of Wife's
Actions Until Trial
(Continued from Page 1)
bert J. Rapp, after whom the defense
counsel will again address the court.
Asked by Mr. De Vine "the nature
of your married life," Patrolman
Baker said that he and his wife "got
along fine together. I nev'er sus-
pected there was anything wrong.
We were happy so far as I knew." He
denied later to Prosecutor Rapp that
he had ever come home and found
Mrs. Baker and Schneider together.
He stated to the defense attorney
that when Mrs. Baker told him that
she had attempted to scare Schneid-
er with a gun in September, 1935, be-
cause he had lied to her, he replied:
"That gun is not for you. Leave it
alone. What do you care if he won't
tell you the truth."
Baker Describes Events
He maintained to the prosecution
that Mrs. Baker told him what the
lies were, but that he did not re-
member them.
The testimony of Patrolman Baker
as to what happened the night of the
killing, June 29, 1936, tied in perfect-
ly with that of his wife. He related
how she told him "something terrible
friend Milton D. Shancupp to come
has happened" and refused to say
what and how she telephoned her
to her aid. When Mr. Chancupp ar-
rived, the policeman said, Mrs. Bak-
er asked him to take his sister to his
cousin's "in Shanny's car.' He did it
without asking questions, he added.
For Patrolman Baker's failure to
take definite action to ascertain what
the "terrible something" was. he was,
by questions, criticized by Mr. Rappl
for his failure to do his duty as a
policeman.
Mr.mBaker said he and Schneider.
mutually agreed that the latter was
to buy for Mrs. Baker's birthday the
"slave bracelet," a state's exhibit.
Mrs. Jacob Andres, wife of the sheriff
and county jail matron, later testified
that Mrs. Baker asked that the brace-
let be sent to her in jail because she
feared "it might be used as damag-
ing evidence against her."
She Called Shancupp
The steadfast husband continually
referred to Schneider as "he"as his
wife watched him with composure.
Prosecutor Rapp brought out in his
cross examination of the policeman
that he was in a bedroom, the door
to which he did not recall closing,
three feet from the telephone Mrs.
Baker used to call Shancupp. "The
only part of the conversation I
heard," he told Mr. Rapp, "was that
I heard her ask Shanny to come right
away. I don't remember hearing
anything else. I was dressing."
"Yet you wanted to find out what
had happened, didn't you?" the pros-
ecutor demanded.
"Yes," Mr. Baker admitted.
Phoned From Jail
Mrs. Andres, who left the stand
as the . court recessed,, told Mr. De
Vine that Mrs. Baker had telephoned
from the jail "several times" so soft-
ly no one could follow the conversa-
tion. "But maybe she just didn't
want to be heard," the matron added.
"Would you say her normal voice
was low?" the defense counsel
queried.
"Yes." Mrs. Andres replied.
"When did you first learn Betty
had killed Cub," Mr. Rapp wanted
to know.
"Betty told me," Patrolman Baker
answered, "that night."
"Betty said she had murdered Cub,
didn't she," Prosecutor Rapp asked
suddenly.
"She said she'd killed him," Mr.
Baker retorted.
"When did you first hear the word
'accident?'" Mr. Rapp was firing
questions at him in a steady stream.
"That night," the witness an-
swered.
Hammer Action Shown-
"Who used it?"
"Betty."
"After she had talked to Shan-
Cupp?"
"Yes."
Mr. Baker .admitted during his
cross examination that he had shown
his wife how to pull the hammer of
his gun back the one time she fired
it on the police rifle range.
"~You showed her where the trig-
ger was?" the prosecutorasked.
"Yes, I showed her," the patrolman
said.
"That was your purpose in being
there, wasn't it to show her how to
handle a gun?"
"Not exactly."
"Was it or wasn't it?" Mr. Rapp
pursued.
There was a pause. Finally Mr.
Baker returned: "yes."
Cashier Plans Use
Of Pwer Of Press'
A4gainst 'Welshers'
The power of the press is no empty1
phrase to Boyd C. Stephens, Univer-1
sity cashier.
Mr. Stephens read this headline in
Wednesday's Daily, "Few 'Welshers'
Among Student Borrowers, Loan Of-
ficers Say." The story told of the
thousands of conscientious students
who had borrowed money through
Mr. Stephens office and the remark-
ably small per cent of them that had,
failed to pay back this academic
debt.
As Mr. Stephens read through the
article his mind did not reflect on
the thousands of wonderfully honest
borrowers but rather on those few
who had failed to repay their loans.
Thinking of the non-payers, Mr. Ste-
phens conceived the notion that with
the help of about 1,000 copies of The
Daily he might loosen up some of
the otherwise 'welshers.'
Because the examination schedule
was published in the same issue as
Mr. Stephens' article there was a sell-
out of this paper and he was not
able to obtain any Dailies, but with
the power of the press still in mind
he is planning to have the article
and headline reprinted for wide-
spread distribution.
