Mutiny at Lansing Kansas Coal Mine Highlights Jail Conditions
The June riot by 348 Kansas convicts near Lansing ended after 21 hours with 23 ringleaders in solitary confinement and 45 leaders kept on bread and water. Warden Lacey Simpson said the unrest stemmed from policing changes and prison conditions, including harsher discipline, fewer parole opportunities, and the firing of Dr. Parker. Damages were still being assessed as miners cleaned up and repairs began.

Hauptmanns Attorneys Argue in Appeal Court
In Trenton on June 20 the appeal of Bruno Richard Hauptmann from his Lindbergh baby murder conviction was heard by the Court of Errors and Appeals. The decision was reserved after three hours of argument as fourteen judges review the case behind locked doors. Hauptmann’s wife Anna and adviser the Rev D G Werner were barred from entry. The state contends the evidence proves Hauptmann guilty, while Hauptmann’s brief accuses the state of inflammatory tactics and errors in the trial, suggesting the case should have been moved to Mercer county.
