MRS. KiNGSRURY WAS PUT ON THE STAND
Admitted she Delayed Giving the
Alarm untiI Her Father Had
Time 10 Make Ills Escape.

Wsco. Texas. January 10. The state
rested It's case IN the McLennau murder
case this morning. The last witness In
troduced was Mrs. byo Nngsbury daugh
ter OF the defendant aud wife of tho
man he is charged with having MUIR
dered. She testified Chat she was sleep
ing across the hall from where her hus-
band and brother were killed: that she
was awakened by the struggles and went
into the room. When she came in her
father old her not to say anything; that
something terrible had happened she
III a lamp and saw her husband add
brother lying across the bed with their
thfd4ts cut. Her father told her TO get
carving knife and nut It on the door
so that IT, would appear that the Two
men had killed one another IN a fight.
She did this she said and never gave
any alarm until her father had sufficient
slime 10 eScape, when she began To
scream for help.
The defense Of McLennnn so far as
has been made. Is purely insanity. All
The afternoon the defense has had wit
nesBes to this end .fhe old timers OF
the county all testified that the defend
ant acted very strangely in the past
year and many of them said this was
caused Ny reverses financially. caused by
the bad management of the deceased
con in law. when 1t is stated that the
defendant had Endorsed largely. The tes
timony given was thar the defendant has
at all times been man OF exemplary
habits. Expert testimony on insanity
was TO the effect that man who has
led an exemplary life that would commit
so grave an offense could not be in his
right mind. The defense will introduce
other expert testimony toby and It is
expected that the evidence viii be con-
cluded by tomorrow at noon.
