SALINA. Kan.. March' 14. Eiorees-
ing a "desire to wsit and see what : la
done in Kansas about the blackest of all
crimes on the calendar the suppreasaon
of free speech by force" former Senator
J. K. Burton of Kansas late Monday IS'
sued a statement detailing what he- said
were the "fscts in the tarring of J. U.
Strvic and C. O. Parsons . non-partiaan
learue leaders by a mob near Great
Bend Saturday night and the escorting; of
himself Mrs. Burton and a ProfessMr
Wilson froas town earlier in the evees'na
He said he desired to withhold comment
end discussion of the incidents which oc-
curred in Barton county until State -offi
rials had taken some action on his ap
peal to have brought to justice the 'mob
and its leaders.
About 1 -30 o clock Saturday afternoon
we left Creat Hend for EUinwood ana
two or three miles out -we were stopped
by a mob of SO men" Burton's statement
said. "The mob made demonstrations aa
if they would take oa from our ear but
were restrained by their leader. He said
they intended to take Professor Wilson
and myself to St John and my wife to
Great Bend and send her back to Balfna
by train. But he changed hia mind aboait
taking my wife away under my indignant
protest.
Burton said he sated to be taken to
EUinwood and sent home from there bait
the mob put it to a vote.
The few who voted the statement
continued "said St. John. It was an
Krent It was the leader and not the
ys' who decided we were to go to St
John. Some of the mob brought an
American flag and compelled Professor
Wilson to hold it in front of hia ear
Others of the mob took his portmaateaa
and kept it. An aged farmer drove up
on hia way to EUinwood. Some three or
four boya one wearing a soldiers uni
form were in the car. The mob badly
beat up the old farmer and the boya and
compelled tbem to join our procession.
Exhibited to Crawl.
"Arriving at St John they exhibited
us to the crowds on the street. About
e dock half a mile from HtaBoM. they
told us the Legion waa not Organised at
Stafford and we could go on our way. The
leader of the mob told ua hia gathering
was not ot legion boya.
Burton said he assumed Judge D. A
Banta of this district; Sheriff Sam -Hill
of Barton county and Phil Weber county
attorney supported by Attorney General
Richard J. Hopkina and Governor Allen
would take prompt actio against tai
mob.
'My assumption that the local au
thoritlea would act against the mob re
celved a aevere shock Sunday afteroon.'
Mr. Burton continued as the following
events wUl show: J. O. Stevie. editor

their naked bodies covered with tar and
left half deid on the prairie at midnight
it was the same men who mobbed ua who
mobbed them.
What Stepi War Taken.
'Parsons and Stevie reached EUinwood
Saturday afternoon" . he said "and
learned we bad been kidnaped by
mob. Haatily gathering some htagua
fannera they drove to Great Bend found
the sheriff and inquired of him where
we were had what steps he had takes
to rescue ua from the mob. Not being
able to get any information from the
sheriff except that he said he knew noth-
ing about our being mobbed and had not
done and would do nothing to rescue us
unless someone would make a written
charge and a warrant be issued la the
regular way. 1
Failing to ealiat the chief offlear to
stop the carrying out of a crime worse
than bank robbery they appealed to
Judge Banta. The Judge then called the
sheriff and the leader of the mob who
had returned to the city hot they could
not get any help from that source. They
returned with their escort of fanners to
EUinwood held the meeting and started
back home in their car. They were cap
tured by a men taken back to Great
Bend and there turned over ta) tha mob
that had captured us.
