Willis Neff Arrest at Garnett Sparks City Turmoil
Garnett residents were stunned by news that railway mail clerk Willis Neff was arrested in Wellington on a charge of taking money from letters. The Kansas City matter involved decoy letters found on Neff, though reports later claimed no letters or money were in his possession. Neff appeared in Kansas City, posted bond, and returned home awaiting a Monday examination before a U S commissioner with potential circuit court binding. Neff, a longtime Garnett resident and Democrat, faces questions about the case and its possible political motives.
