Lawyer defends long trial in Stidham murder case
Jefferson City reports on attorney Mark M. Hennelly defending J W Stidham, life inmate, in a case tied to the 1954 riot and Donnell murder. Hennelly has pursued appeals to multiple courts, funding the effort himself, citing belief in the convict’s innocence. A separate item notes Thomas J. Manasco, 19, of Atwood Kansas, killed near Trenton in a traffic collision.
