Estes Money Orders Tie Congressmen to Estes Gifts
A House subcommittee probes an alleged list of names of lawmakers and an administration official who allegedly received money orders from Billie Sol Estes. Jamey Ralph and aide William Morris said they turned $100 Estes money orders over to Democrats, while Ralph denied ever accepting gifts. Manuel says the list names congressmen and a high ranking official, and Republicans denounce the hearings as political.

Lowell Andrews Loses Appeal To High Court
The Kansas Supreme Court rejected Lowell Lee Andrews' appeal seeking habeas corpus relief in his murder case. The ruling upholds prior Wyandotte County conviction and death sentence for the 1958 family killings near Walcott, Kansas. Professors Richard Allen and James Ahrens of Washburn University law school sponsored the effort, arguing due process issues. They plan to seek U.S. Supreme Court review and may pursue federal court if denied.
