A federal judge in Kansas City denied a bid to void three subpoenas for documents in the grand jury probe of former Gov. Warren E. Hearnes. He limited one subpoena tied to the estate of J. W. Conran, former Farmers Bank president, as not relevant. The investigation concerns possible tax evasion and false tax returns.
