Escaped Grifts and Clemency Pleas for Stoops in Kansas
Governor Stanley rejects clemency for Harry Stoops of Chicago, serving a Shawnee County sentence for abducting a girl after a sensational Chicago incident. Stoops’ bid for pardon failed again as the governor states Stoops will not be released to threaten or harm women, and his case involves a mock marriage and a later re-arrest before conviction in Topeka. The article also lists various Kansas company charters and stock figures including Indian Telephone, Ottawa Prospecting, and others in Greenwood, Morris, and Coffey counties.
