THE KENNEDY MURDER TRIAL
The Defendant, Mrs. Kennedy, Col
lapeS In Court

Kansas City, Mo-. June S.-Lulu
Prince Kennedy, on trial for killing
her husband, Philip Kennedy, col
lapsed in court today and necessitatcd
the adjournment of the trial until
Monday. Since the shooting last jan
uary, in the office of Kennedy. who
was contracting agent of an eastern
transportation company. the prisoner
has shown remarkable fortitude; but
today, when Judge Wofford ruled as
admissible the evidence of BERTHE
Litchfield regarding her conversation
with Bert Prince a few moments af-
ter the shooting the prisoner began to
sob and, finally, became so hysterical
that it was found necessary to carry
her from the court room.
Miss Litchfield testified to having
Kennedy's office moment after the
shooting. Il told him. said the wit
ness, that / had been down stairs and
that some one had been hurt. He re-
piled, Lulu did it. She gave him what
was coming to him. He did not treat
her right and she fixed him.
1t was at that point that the pris-
oner collapsed and the session alb
ruptly came to an end.
1t has been the theory Of the prose-
cution that Bert Prince, with his broth
er William, and c. w. Prince, the
father, all of whom are awaiting trial
on charge of completely in the killing
conspired with Mrs. Kennedy and that
the members of the family Were
watching the different exits to prevent
Kennedy's escape.

would depend entirely upon his
strength to be developed subsequently
as to whether he could hold it for long
With the Mexican public the military
element is dominant.
How is it possible that Mckinley
could be elected president of the United
States when he is only a major?" 1
was asked by prominent Mexican pol
itician, and in that question lies much
significance. President DiaZ is known
more by his military title of general
than by his civil title as the executive.
In weighing the chances of those who
aspire to power, therefore, the military
element must be taken into serious
consideration. 1t is a trite saying in
Mexico that he who has the army with
him is the strongest with the people.
and there are good reasons for this, as
political power in this county does not
rest upon the ballot, but upon the con-
troll of the physical forces of the coun-
try.
The man who is now looked upon as
the active executive head of the gov
eminent under close control of the
president is Jose Ives Limantour, the
minister of finance He is the ablest
financier and statesman Mexico has de-
veloped outside of military circles.
Were he equally strong in a military
sense, or had he the close friendship
and unselfish support of a great mill
tary leader, there would be no question
as to his becoming the next president
of Mexico when Porfirio Diaz laid down
the reins, but fortunately or unfort-
unately. as the case may be. Limantour
stands purely by his civil strength.
and herein lies the doubt as to the

uance without a break of the present
tranquility which prevails in this
southern country.

Notwithstanding the conservative
statements of this cabinet Official.
there is considerable dynamite in the
present political situation in Mexico
Mexicans and resident foreigners are
eagerly and anxiously discussing the
possibilities of the future. While there
is no avowed censorship of the tele-
graph or mails, no resident correspond
ent in Mexico can treat of these mat
tiers with any degree of frankness.
Tourists md special writer's who come
to Mexico for brief stay are rarely
ableto grasp the situation as 1t really is.
and for this reason the people of the
United States are possessed of very lit
tie real knowledge as to the princi-
Dles on which the Mexican governemnt
is conducted or of the influences which
are constantly struggling with each
other for supremacy.
From the talk in one quarter it
might be inferred that President Diaz
had already laid down his earthly bur
den. and that the fight for his shoes
was now on. In another quarter it is
stoutly maintained that the political
situation today is the same it has al
ways been during the recent years of
the present administration. and that

heavens.

City of Mexico, March 4.-"What is
the truth in regard to the health of
President DiaZ?" I asked Mr.. Liman-
tour the minister of finance, who has
acted as provisional president in the
absence of the chief executive.
We do not believe he is very ILL.,
the minister replied. HE has some
rheumatism in the back of his neck
and shoulders which does not yield
readily to treatment, but that is not
believed to be serious, except as the
president is now advancing in years
and is necessarily losing some of the
great recuperative power he has always
shown He is a tremendous worker
He has never been sick a day IN his
life. and therefore when he has

tain things may be probable in the

under such a scheme of government
as prevails among this people.
In all these recent years of peace the

Should President Diaz decide to leave
the active administration of affairs to
others the solution of the difficulty
would be simple. for he would appoint
provisional authority who would be
sustained by the same Semi-political
military machine which has unheld his
own administration. In such a case
there would be no shock. no disturb

terests or sympathies may lie. Many
shake their heads and look wise be-
cause they know nothing and perhaps
this is true of the largest proportion
of the goSSiperS.
Upon very good authority it may be
said that President Diaz is probably
older than is generally believed. Of
ficially his age is seventy. but it would
be perhaps conservative to add at least
five years. and this five years comes at
critical time in the life of a man
whose energies have been fully ex-
ercised from the days of his boyhood.
Physicians of standing in the City of
Mexico who are familiar with the ply
steal condition of the President say
that his troubles are now due to the
hardening of the arteries, and that
from this arises the pain which he Suf-
fers constantly at the base of the brain
and in his shoulders. The most per-
sistent medical treatment has failed to
relieve his distress. and for this reason
the rumors of serious ill-health have
gained wide circulation. The truth of
the matter is in all probability that
President DiaZ has never suffered from
ill-health but from the time of his
boyhood he has been soldier and hun
ter. and has experienced many severe
trials for which he is now pay
