Kansas City, Mo-, June 3.-Mrs.
lu Prince Kennedy the bride OF
month, who has been in the counsy
Jail since January 10 last, held under
Indictment for murder in the first de-
gree for deliberately killing her hus-
band, Philip H. Kennedy, contracting
agent of the Merchants Dispatch
Transportation company, was brought
to trial in the criminal court here to-
day. The woman's father, G. w.
Prince, and brothers, Albert and Will
liam, will be tried later on the charge
of conspiring with Mrs. Kennedy to
kill her husband.
Forced to Marry Her.
Kennedy was forced to marry the
girl December 4, 1900, and refused to
live with her. One month later, Jan
uary 4, he filed petition for a divorce.
Six days after this Mrs. Kennedy in
company with a physician called at
her husbands office and engaged him
in conversation in the hallway. She
asked him IL he intended to live with

a revolver from the folds of her dress
and planted six bullets in her hus-
bands body. After he had fallen she
walked up to him and deliberately
kicked him in the face. Her arrest
and indictment followed, as did that
of her father and two brothers, who
are charged with conspiracy, it hay.
Ing developed that all or at least some
of them were in the immediate vicin.
ity when the shooting took place.
Conviction Not Expected.
If Mrs. Kennedy is convicted, Will
Prince will almost certainly be con
victed on his owp testimony, of being
an accessory. If she is acquitted, OF
course, that will settle the cases OF
the father and brothers.
General opinion is that no jury can
be found that will convict Mrs. Ken
nedy, but Prosecutor Hadley declares
he has evidence that will preclude the
possibility Of acquittal. The prosecu
tion will undertake to prove that Ken,
nedy never wronged Miss Prince, OF
that, If he did, it was under circum,
stances that would not justify his
death or even forced marriage The
defense will admit the killing, and the
forced marriage. and will set up only
that the woman was justified before
God and man and the law when she
killed the man who she declares had
robbed her of her honor.
