luton before the board was suggested.
Alderman Reynolds said the Board or
Of Aldermen had control OF the health

The question of what plan TO adopt

Kenncdy's Attorneys Hope to Show
He Did Not Cause 1t.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Identif1-
cation of Dr. Samuel j. Kennedy as
the man who was in a room at the Grand
hotel with Dolly Reynolds late on the
night of her murder, and who made a
stealthy exit down the stairs and out of
the building at 2 o'clock that morning,
was doubly fortified by witnesses for the
people in Justice Williams court. Still,
at the close of the session. when an adj
journment had been taken until Monday
morning, the defense professed to believe
that the battle was theirs, and gave the
following reasons:
One witness had testified that Dolly
Reynolds was in her fiat for several min
utes between and o'clock of the day
she engaged room 81 at the Grand hotel,
though the hotel witnesses agreed that 1t
was after G when she passed through the
dining room with the defendant.
There was more blood on the carpet
beside the head of the couch In room "a
than where the body lay when discovered,
six feet distant from the couch.
There was communication with room
"a by door leading to room st on the
east and by another door leading ia
room SO on the west.
1.-The windows of all three rooms OPEN
ed upon an iron rallied balcony, through
the floor of which there was egress to a
fire escape ladder
1.-The head Of the couch and the larg-
est blood stain were near this window.
Room s. was unoccupied on the night of
the murder, while a man and his wife.
guests OF the hotel, spent that night In
room So
The defense expects the foregoing de-
tails to be made emphatic in their favor
by the testimony of another states wit
ness-Mrs. w. S.. Logue, wife of an en-
ploye of the Edison Electric company.
