quiet unoffensive man and the absence
Of a sufficient motive for the crime
coupled with the eldent deliberate
purpose to kill makes the case most
unusual
The prisoner was seen at the county
jail yesterday afternoon by n Tribune
reporter, but he could not be induced
to discuss the crime, saying that he
had been advised by his attorney, Hon.
L. II. Timlin, not to talk about the
case
lie Is confined i'm cell on the left
hand upper corridor of the north wing
and has another prisoner as a cell
mate, a precautlon taken by Warden
Simpson to prevent the possibility of
his injuring himself.
When the reporter called he was sit
ting on the floor with his back against
the wall and nothing in the way of
clothing on him excepting an under
shirt and blue overalls.
WOULD NOT TALK.
He was taciturn, but not surly or un-
pleasant. What few words he con-
sented to exchange with the reporter
were carefully chosen and slowly
spoken. He seemed afraid he might
be trapped into saying something which
| he ought not to say.
To one of the Jail attaches he said
| he does not remember anything of the
shooting; that he was in a beastly
| state of intoxication and did not know
| what he was doing. He slept soundly
Wednesday night, his cell mate says,
| and at no time indicates that he Is
J greatly disturbed in mind.
There is something about his gen.
eral appearance and actions that lends
| color to the presupposition that he is
| not of sound mind, but there is moth
| ing in particular that would tend to
| strengthen such a theory. In other
words, if there was no other way of
| explaining the crime except that 1t was
a crazy act, he could quite readily b.
made to fit the theory, speaking from
the standpoint of layman who made
a cursory examination.
He says his right name is John f,
Kenny, but that he goes by the name
of Hennessey. His father died when
he was very young and his mother
married a second husband whose name
was Hennessey.
| HIS DESCRIPTION.
| According to the description on the
| Jail docket he is 26 years of age
weighs 154 pounds, is five feet eight
inches in height and has dark brown
hair fair complexion and gray eyes
He is smooth shaven, but a beard OF
a f"w days growth shows that he would
have bright red whiskers If he al
lowed them to grow. He was born al
| Jermyn and is a miner by occupation
He face is somewhat sharp and deli.
cate looking and he does not appear tC
be any older than he states.
There was some trouble yesterday
about the arrangements for the wife's
funeral. The poor authorities were
called upon to bury her, but they de-
clined to act because Kenny has c
months wages coming to him from
the Delaware and Hudson company
and should be made to pay the eX,
pense of his victims funeral. A tele
phone message was received by War
den Simpson in the afternoon request
ing him to ask Kenny If he was will
ing to make an assignment of his pa!
to bury his wife. An angry emphatic
no" was his response.

to their utmost in the struggle. 1t is
more than mere sentiment to live.
