From the Lawrence Daily World for May 22, 1910: “It will be remembered that Charles Trude is now in the county jail for shooting Deputy Sheriff Woods one day the early part of the week. The sheriff received a communication yesterday from a certain official in St. Marys, Kan., which reads, in part, as follows: ‘I wish to know and also inform you concerning one Charles Trude…I have arrested him not a few times and have taken girls away from him…One time while in the county jail he burned his way out having set the blankets in his cell on fire. Most everyone here hopes he will get a life sentence or be hung if possible for what he did down in your country.’ … While at the State Dental Association meeting the other day, K.U. Coach Bert Kennedy learned from the Washburn coach, Dr. Stewart, that the Manhattan Agriculture College had given the Washburn date for next fall’s football game away to some other college, presumably some small and unimportant institution. Washburn, just as Kansas does, wants a game with the Aggies next fall.”
