TRIAL OF Lulu KENNEDY
RULING OUT OF EVIDENCE OF e. w.
LEWIS A HARD BLOW TO
DEFENSE
IT MAY BE ADMITTED LATER
Transcript Taken Goes TO Show Sc
ductiOn of the Girl by Kennedy
Before the Enforced
Marriage.

KANSAS CITY, June 12.-Judge Woiford
today ruled out the testimony of one OF
the strongest witnesses presented so far
by the defense in the case of Lulu Prince
Kennedy, on trial for the murder of her
husband. The defense had evidently
counted much on being able tc present
this testimony, and the courts order TO
strike It out was considered d blow to
their side. Mrs. Kennedy was visably
depressed by the courts action. The wit
ness was Edward w. Lewis, an i'll
spector for the Western Railway asso-
citation inspection bureau, and a personal
friend OF the dead man Through him
the defense hoped to prove the theory
that Kennedy had ruined Lulu Prince
under promise of marriage and then re-
fused either to mary her or live with
her after marriage had been forced upon
him.
The testimony Of Lewis was ordered
taken down by the court stenographer,
but the court refused to let II be given
to the jury until coTroborated.
The defense also attempted to show
that Mrs. Kennedy was temporarily in
sane at the time of the muTcSr. The
defense had not closed when court adj
journed for the day

II. Fl. Allen, for whom the prisoner
formerly worked, testified Of frequent
calls by Kennedy. c. e. Woody. who
boarded at the Prince home, testified on
similar lines
e. w. Lewis began to tell Of a conver-
saton with Kennedy, but objection pre-
cipitated a long argument.
At the afternoon session Judge WoRord
announced that he would not permit
Lewis to give his testimony in the hear
ing OF the jury but ordered it taken
down by the court stenographer. II be-

LITTLE FURRY IN CAMP.
Gen. Liggett Threatens to Resign,
but RecOnsiders His Course.

Owing to misunderstanding of orders,
as one of the officers mildly put it yes
terday, serious breach was narrowly
ayerted Tuesday night, between the staff
officers at Camp Northcott, the trouble
arising over what was regarded as an
objectionable disregard of military ETH
quette.
What at one time appeared TO be a
serious difficulty that might have dis
rupted the camp and divided it into war
ring factions was due to a clash of au-
thority between Brigadier J. d. Liggett,
of Des Moines, Iowa, and Maj. E. A.
Mitchell, of Chillicothe ILL.,. both of whom
are members of the staff of Mai Gen
Reece, Of Springfield H., who has
been unavoIdably prevented from attend
ing the encampment, owing to the serious
illness of his wife.
In order that the camp would not be
without head and properly Differed,
and Maj. Mitchell to have charge in their
respective capacities, the latter, 1t ap-
pears, being the personal representative
of Gen. Reece. while Gen. Liggett was
Tuesday an order was given by Gen.
Liggett, which. it appears met with the
disapproyal of Maj Mitchell, and who
had not been consulted, and straightway
there arose a clash of authority growing
out of the question of precedence
= The order it is understood, required the
men to repair to the big mess tent, or
dining hall, in camps or companies not
to exceed a certain number at a time,
and as this meant that a great many
would have to wait their turn at meal
time, it was very distasteful, giving rise
to considerable grumbling
On hearing of the order, it appears, that
it met with the disapproval of Mai. Gen.
Mitchell, and at a conference that ensued
it is reported that Gen. Iiggett became
angry and threatened to resign. Later in
the evening another consultation took
place, at which the amende honorable
was made and the dove of peace once
more lowered over the camp. AS it now
stands, Maj. Gen. Ligett is commander
in-chef of the forces. and Gen. I,iggett
is in command of the camp
In referring to the matter yesterday
Gen. Liggett told a G | b reporter that

DRILLS ARE SUCCESSFUL.
Great Proficiency in Military Tao
tics rs Displayed

The competitive drill of the uniformed
teams which has been in progress a.
resumed yesterday. when nearly a dozen
crack camps were put through the ma
neuyers. Great proficiency in military
tactics was shown by several of the
camps, who made unus lally good scores
S. j. Delong, one of the judges, and
who was yesterday promoted by Gen.
Mitchell to the position of camp inspec-
tor, stated that in Justice to ali Of tho
camps, the, scores will not be given out
until the drills are completed Saturday

to orders, and that it did not amount to
anything. 1T was a matter of military
etiquette" said he, land perhaps l might
have been a little too hot headed, but at
any rate it has passed over, and mat
tiers here are better, if anything, than
they were before"
Maj. Gen. Mitchell declined to talk on
the subject, merely saying that there was
nothing in it, and that he and Gen. T,ig-
gett were on the best of terms. and that
they acted in unity and concert.
ANOTHER SOURCE OF COMPLAINT.
Another matter, which bids fair to pre-
clpitate trouble at the camp is the com
plant of number of officers and men
to the effect that some of the more ex-
elusive set stop at down town hotels and
other places outside of the camp, which
gives them, it is asserted, a better on
portunity of keeping their uniforms in a
fidier and more presentable appearance
Because of this some Of the camDers
complain that they are handicapned In
the drill contests, in which they do NOT
nave fair show. 1t was stated that a
protest had been filed with the commit
tee on prizes, but this is denied by Chair
man p. e. O'Connel, who states that M
such Complaint has been received.

A careful estimate was made yesterday
of the number of Woodmen now in the
city, and it was concluded that about
10000 visitors are here About 4.OOO mem
bers of the order came in on the trains
yesterday. There were no special trains
but all of the regular trains carried MANI
Woodmen. Only two drill teams came
in during the day, the Maple Plain camn
Minnesota nj and the Maple Camp, Iowa
Falls. They did not report to Camn
Northcott, as all Of the tents are now
filed. A large number of Woodrnen
came in on tne night trains, also. Today
will be the big day of the week, and il Is
expected that several thousand will nut
in an appearance during the forenoon.
The reception committee has no records
of the companies to come in today. but
1t is known that the Saltwater team will
arrive st a. m. over the Omaha. This

are 629 delegates attending the conven-

129 teams, averaging in the neighborhood
of twenty men each. ItTis admitted that
the teams and delegates make only
fraction of the entire number of Wood

a very small one. 1t, therefore, seems
