Mrs. KENNEDY.
A Reporter Talks With the Lady in the Case.
What She Says.

what She Says.
1t was quite late last evening when a
GAZETTE reporter started out to inter-
view Mrs. Lalla Kennedy. Since her
separation from her husband
Mrs. Kennedy has been afforded
a comfortable home with friends on the
South Side. The people are of good
standing, and the residence occupied is
one of handsome appearance inside and
outside, the furniture and decorations
generally denoting good taste and regard
for the harmonious and beautiful.
at such q place was Mrs. Kennedy
found. Though the hour was late, she
had not retired, the exciting news she
had received about her husband having
driven sleep from her thoughts.
Mrs. Kennedy is q young woman of
considerable beauty, not talkative nor
giddy, but with the appearance of one
who keenlY feels the position in which
she is placed in view of the recent occu-
rences. Although she was in nowise
averse to speaking freely to the reporter,
yet she was not loquaclous, and most of
the conversation was conducted by the
lady with whom Mrs. Kennedy is stop
ping and who was present at the inter-
view.
81 have known Mr.. and Mrs. Kennedy
for long time said this lady; Sin
fact we were all schooImates together at
Denison. When they came to Fort
Worth, over a year ago, they visited me
often. 1 liked them both, only Ed
would drink aud conduct himself
disgracefully at such times. He was al
ways jealous and at such times treated
his wife shamefully. That sleeping
child you see there "a little four-year-
girl with pretty face), has learned to
fear her father SO that when he would
come near her her face would blanch
and she would run away in alright.
'Mrs. Kennedy left him six months
ago ut benson on account of cruel treat
ment, and entered suit against him at
Sherman for divorce, but he induced her
not to proceed further but withdraw the
SUIT and come back to live with him.
She did so, but he became more cruel
than before, and it was at this house
that he 80 disgraced himself at party,
as narrated in the divorce petition pub
lished in THE GAZETTE.
"He has frequently complained of
Farris Mosely being intimate with his
wife, but there is nothing in it. She has
never met him away from this house but
once. He has been here to see
her n few times since the divorce
petition was filed, but only
once did she go out with him. 1t is not
true that she has been unduly intimate
with him. have always been present
when he came to see her. -
eyes, said Mrs. Kennedy, Fthe
lawyer told me when l filed suit for di-
vorce that so far as seeing other men was
[ was free woman. L
have seen Mosely three or four times
since then. Ed told me a
few days ago that he would kill Mo sely
Ed and l met on the street, and he told
me that. told him if he wanted to kill
any body to kill me, as was as guilty as
Mosely.''
Before the reporter visited Mrs. Ken
nedy she had sent the following to the
GAZETTE Office:
Editor Gazette.
1 wish to make statement regarding the
shooting that occurred this afternoon.
What appeared in the evening Mail regarding
ny init macy with Mr.. Mosely is utterly false
llso that he me out with him last evening;
ind can prove it.
He had no excuse for killing Mr.. Mosely, as
lie is entirely innocent He threatened to kill |
cave him on account of his habitual drunken |
less and cruelty.
I left home on the 2Oth of August and applied |
or divorce, which Is pending in court. He /
made the remark when 1 left THAT it was for |
he best or he was liable to kill me or Edna al |
nv time, - and that he had nothing to live for |
low, and the sooner he killed some or was |
TILED the better.
Please do me the kindness to publish this in |
ustice to Mr.. Mosely. Respectfully,
MRS LALLA KENNEDY.
