New York Aug. 20.-When Samuel J
Kennedy, charged with the murder
Dolly Reynolds in the Grand hotel, en-
tered the West Side court. he faced Ed
ward Reynolds and Mrs. Christine Reyn
| olds, the father and mother of the deat
girl. They looked long and earnestl!
| at the dentist, but his eyes rested upoi
| them with no sign of recognition. NO
very far from them sat DR.. j. c. Ken
nedy the father OF the prisoner. The
old man gave his son look OF full sym
pathy and perfect trust.
| The prosecution was represented by
| Assistant District Attorneys Mcintyre
and O'Reilly, the accused by Lawyers
Friend and House. The attaches OF the
Grand hotel who identified Kennedy
as the man who accompanied Dolly
Reynolds to the hotel and left alone at
2:3O were also there.
DR.. Kennedy impressed crowded
court with his extraordinary self con-
troll. He was not ostentatiously indiffer-
ent; he did not assume the air of theat-
rical bravado worn commonly by men
suspected Of a great crime: he was not
sullen just perfectly at ease. like man
free from fear. When arraigned in the
West Side court. there was nsAnoticeable
difference in appearance from that
when he was brought before Magistrate
Simms two days ago.
He did not try to avoid the stares OF
the crowd. Women craned their necks
to get look at him, and he looked back
at them mildly. His bearing was con-
sidered the more remarkable inasmuch
as the police now claim to have all the
evidence necessary to prove that he is
the man who crushed Dolly Reynolds
skull with the piece Of lead pipe.
New Evidence.
Dolly Reynolds had seven bank &C
counts, five in New York city and two at
Mount Vernon. The police claim that
recently heavy Withdrawals had been
made from them. This, they say, sup
ports their theory of the motive for the
murder-that DR.. Kennedy had become
so hopelessly involved with the girl that
ruin stared him in the face. The police
also claim to have discovered other new
and important evidence against the
dentist, which, they say, they cannot d.
vulge at present.
Mrs. Reynolds has given details of
conversation with her daughter regard

Dolly told me-" says Mrs. Reynolds,
that DR.. Kennedy had a wonderful
scheme for beating the races. 1t was
by an electric saddle-a battery In the
saddle. A horse was picked out. on
which the bookmakers We're giving odds
of 10 to 1 or more a long shot Dolly
called it. He went into the race with
the electric saddle on his back. When
the race was nearly over, according to
the scheme. the jockey pressed his legs
to the horses sides, and that turned on
the electricity
THE horse would be fairly frightened
out of his skin and would run so fast
that he would win the race. Dolly said
she was sure of return of $4,000 for her
investment of $500. Doc thinks it is a
sure thing, and so do T. she said. / told
her she would lose all her money, but on
Sunday when l saw her last, she talked
of nothing but the electric saddle"
In this connection Assistant District
Mcintyre says he has learned
that DR.. Kennedy was a regular patron
