have believed from the beginning that DR.. henneoy
is guilty but we believe that there is another man
who is much to blame for our poor daughter (
death This man is a prominent wall street
broker.
He engaged to my daughter when she was
murdered. He had put the wedding of several
times. At the time she met him she was selling
books and called al his office. He told her he was
Southern gentleman and was worth $4,000
Mrs. Reynolds says she believes DR.. Kennedy was
acting the tool of this broker. The broker, she
believes is the man who put the money up for the
lawyers who obtained the trial for Kennedy.
Mrs. Samuel J. Kennedy, wife of DR.. Kennedy,
visited her husband In the condemned mems quar-
in Sing Sing Prison yesterday, and spent four
hours in consultation with him. Mrs. Kennedy has
been weekly visitor at the prison. She seemed
happy yesterday though her husband had
been freed. Tears of JOY were in her eyes as she
grasped the hand of the principal keeper. She de-
clared that her husband would now surely estab-
ltsh his innocence.
The officiaI papers in the did not reach the
prison last night but 1t is probable that they Will
be received in the morning and Immediately after
they Kennedy will be transferred 10 the Tombs
