rince-Kennedy cried conclusively in
the court room when n witness tes-
tilted to a conversation held with the
prisoners brother, Bert Prince, few
minutes after the killing of Ken
nedy. Mrs. Kennedy was removed
from the room in an effort to quiet
her, but when she was brought back

and finally collapsed utterly. Unable
to proceed with the trial, Judge Wof-
ford ordered an adjournment till
Monday morning, and the prisoner.
moaning and crying aloud, was car
ried bodily across the corridor to her
cell This was the first real sign OF
breakdown the prisoner has dis
played since the killing in January
last, the cool attitude and apparently
careless bearing she has shown hav-
ing completely puzzled the officers
who have had her in their care.
BERTHE LitchHeId's Testimony.
Miss BERTHE Litchfield, a former
schoolmate of Bert Prince, was on
the stand, resuming her testimony of
Friday, when she told of Prince be-
ing in the Ridge building at the time
of the murder and of his conversation
with her at the time. The defense
had objected to this conversation be-
ing related, and Judge Wofford re-
served his decision, announcing, Sat
urday booming, that the state would
be permitted to give the testimony.
Theory of the state.
The theory of the state is that Bert
Prince, together with his brother VIII
and his father, c. w. Prince, all Of
whom are awaiting trial on a charge
of completely in the murder, had con-
spred with Mrs. Kennedy to kill Ken
needy, and that the male members Of
the family were present in the build
ing watching the different entrances
to prevent his escape.

Miss Litchfield testified to having

shooting. II told him." said Miss
Litchfield, that I had been down
stairs; that someone had been hurt
Bert said: Lulu did it; she gave him
what was coming to him. He didn't
treat her right, and she fixed him "
At this point Mrs. Kennedy gave
way to fl of crying and was taken
from the room. Bert Prince, who is
travelling musician, has, since her
incarceration, done more apparently
than any other member of the family,
to make the prisoners situation bear.

her cell, and Mrs. Kennedy has shown
her favoritism for him and keen re-
greet that his name had any connec.
tion with the case.
Charles Dittmer's Testimony.
Charles Dittmier testified to Bert
Prince having forecasted the murder.
Two days before the murder &C.
Cured, Dittmier said, Prince accosted
him while reading newspaper ac-
count of Kennedy's suit for annul-
ment of the marriage. Prince had re-
marked: you'll read worse than this
about him before long"
