THE KENNEDY MURDER CASE
Defense Tries Alibis for Two of the Al
legged Accomplices.


legged Accomplices.
Kansas City, No., June 12.-The de-
fense in the case of Mrs. Kennedy, on
trial for killing her husband, was be-
gun yesterday and twenty witnesses
were examined. The bulk of the teS-
timony was brought out in an attempt
TO prove alibis for Bert and G. w.
Prince the brother and father Of the
prisoner, whom the state had tried to
prove were watching the entrances to
the Ridge building at the time of the
murder TO prevent Kennedy's escape.
Although the defense tried to prove
iaat they had left the elder Princes
pool room after the shooting occurred,
the time given by the witnesses varied
from 5:15 to 5:45. The shooting took
place at $40, and the states theory is
that the woman was nerved to her
deed by the mesmeric influence Of her
brother Win, who was the principal
witness yesterday. He denied that he
had ever exercised mesmeric powers
over any one or that he accompanied
his sister down town on the day Of the
murder, and said that the revolver
used in the killing was not his. He
knew of the murder only after 1t had
been committed

who are readers of stories, for his
novels have a worldwide circulation.
He was born at Portsmouth Aug. IA,
1886. He was, in 1S61-67, professor
in the Royal college of Mauritius, and
while there wrote his first novel. He
did not confina himself to novels, how
ever, but was the author Of a large
number of historical and critical
works.
Robert William Buchanan died Of
paralysis, and had been an invalid and
imbecile for a year He also wrote
novels, but he got his prominence from
his savage criticism of what he did
not approve. He was pronounced by
a well-known writer in London as "the
most universal man that one meets in
London literary life." His reviews Of
the French authors Daudet, Maupas-
SAINT and Zola were very savage. He
also lashed Rudyard Kipling, decfar-
ing he had seldom uttered anything
that does not suggest moral baseness."
He made lasting enemies of Rosetti
and Swinburne years ago by his caus-
tic criticisms. He was born in Scot
land Aug IS. 1871.

months to pump it out again"
