THE EvIDl5. CE YESTERDAY

 in the case of Lulu Prince Kennedy, or trial for murdering her husband, rested
 this afternoon. Today the State ad. duced additional evidence to prove it's
 claim that Kennedy was forced to mar. ry Lulu Prince at the point of re-
 volver: that Will Prince furnished the weapon and nerved her up to commit ting the crime; that the Princes con. spired to kill Kennedy and predicted | the murder days before 1t occurred
 and that the woman's claims that she | was in a delicate condition and shot
 her husband in fit of temporary in-
 sanity produced by this condition was | untrue.
 Tomorrow the defense will begin it's
 testimony to show that Mrs. Kennedy inherited insanity; that Kennedy had ruined Ter and that his refusal to ac- | knowledge her as his wife temporarily deprived her of her reason. Following this the State will ofrer evidence to
 show that she was not a good woman before she met Philip Kennedy. Showed She Had Suffered.
 Mrs. Kennedy was pale when she en- tered court this morning and showed plainly the suffering she had endured | since her collapse Saturday. In the afternoon her condition seemed to tm- prove. She prompted several Ques- tions asked by her attorneys, and when Police Matron Moore, who proved one of the States strongest witnesses, took the stand, the prisoner laughed. Mrs. Kennedy had recovered suf- fciently from her break down of Sat urday to sit in court this morning, and l her trial for the murder of Philip Ken nedy was resumed. | The prisoner was pale and appeared ! entirely worn out. It was only with great efforts that she kept her eyes open, suffering apparently from ex- trerne weakness or the effects of seda- l tives given to produce sleep.
 The first witnesses produced today 1 by the State were examined in an ef- fort to prove that conspiracy to kill Kennedy was matched and carried out | by the woman's father, two brothers and herself. Jack Caldwell testified to 6 conversation with VIII Prince Of the day following his sisters marriage at the courthouse to Kennedy, at which ceremony Will Prince and his father | were present. Will had related the
 scene at the court house to witness and told of Kennedy's saying when friends
 congratulated him:
 T will not be live man three weeks from today"
 Prince had retorted:
 Well. you have prolonged your life
 by this marriage"
 Kennedy Was Intimidated. Prince had almost admitted to wit
 ness that the marriage had been forced
 upon Kennedy Then, later, when
 Prince and his father had called al Kennedy's office and tried to collect $40 for Mrs. Kennedy's board, Will Prince related to the witness that Ken
 nedy had run out of the office and gone downstairs. He practically admitted I that he and his father were armed at the time and that Kennedy was under the shadow of a gun. Kennedy had been married but month when he was
 killed. Saturday it was adduced that Bert Prince had forecasted the murder. A newspaper reporter told, of Mrs. Kennedy and her brother Will coming to his office after the marriage. Mrs. Kennedy wanted Kennedy roasted in the paper" and Will had said that the
 marriage was forced to prevent Ken nedy marrying another woman. The reporter told of conversation
 with William Prince and Prosecutor
 Hadley asked: Did he say anything about any intimacy between the de-
 fendapt and Philip Kennedy?"
 "He did: he said there had been no intimacy"
 E. J. Curtain testified to a converse
 tion with c. W. Prince. the father, af-
 ter the marriage. Pripce had said;
 "T was not going to let this man jilt
 my daughter If things don't go right you will have a good deal more sensa-
