Collins home.
When it came to the cross-examina-
ton, Henry admitted someone might
have gone to the house without being
seen by him. Kenney admitted under
cross examination. that ha did not
leave home until o'clock. This left
ground for the defense TO suggest that
someone might have gone to the house
and murdered the woman earlier in the
morning. 1t was between 8 and 3
o'clock when the woman was found In
the stable dead.
The Rev. f. ]. Corkran and Mrs.

Owed Collins Money.

Joseph Kenney, who lived near Ports
vile, said he lived about half mile from
the Collins farm. He was called with
the object of proving that had anyone
gone TO or left the Collins place he would
have seen such person. He said he saw
Collins white horse and wagon going
from the tomato patch toward the Collins
house. A short time afterwards he heard
that Mrs. Collins had been murdered. He
described the position in which he saw
the body in the stable, corroborating the
other witnesses. He agreed with Mrs.
Brown that the fascinator was tied tight
" around Mrs. Collins neck as if to stihe
any cries she might make. 1t was tied
so tightly that it had to be cut off.
Put Fingers in Wound.
This witness described the wound in
the murdered woman's throat. Il put
my finger in il" he said. 1T was cut 10
the neck bone and was 2i inches long /
did not get any blood on my fingers. The
blood was dry on the back of the head" "
Detailing his conversation with Collins
about the murder, the witness said Col
Inns said he was away from the house
about an hour or an hour and a half
The witness was asked in crOss-exam-
ination if anything had transpired about
the Collins farm while he was at home, il
he could have seen it. He said he could
not.
This was a strong point for the de.
fense as the witness under cross-exam.
nation admitted he was home until
O'Clock in the morning and discovered the
murder was between s and Q o'clock
/ Hence the murder must have been com
mitted before Kenney went to the field
The State was working on the presump
ton that Kenney was in the field mucl
before that hour and could have seeI
anyone leaving the Collins farm.
Under cross examination he said thl
body was cold when he saw it in tn
house.
Mr.. White laid the ground for con
tradiction by asking the witness if Mrs
Smith and Miss Lowe could not tel
whether the blood was stiff. 1t is SAT-
these women will be called by the de
fense to testify that the blood on Mrs
Collins was not dry when they arrived.
Mr.. White tried to show that ther
were hard feelings between Kenney an
Collins because Kenney owed Collin
money.

in the stable. 1 put my finger on both
sides of her face. Her face and legs did
not bend any"
How long had she been deadi" asked
Mr.. Ward.
Il object" said Mr.. White, "he is not
an expert. He has not followed the un-
dertaking business for over forty years" "
This was the first tilt between counsel
and the defense scored the victory
Mr.. White then took the witness to ex-
anime him. He said:
"Alr. Henry, was Collins crying?"
q did not see any tears"
"You only see with one eye, do your
"les; but l see as much with it as
some do with two"
did you touch Mrs. Collins face with
one finger?"
81 don't know whether it was one or
four fingers"

your stepson, Jack Henry, and Elmer

The State objected, but Mr.. Henry an
swered; 81 don't know whether there is

Mrs. George w. Henry said when she
went to the Collins farm Mrs. Collins
was lying in the stable. "Things were
strewn around right smart in the dining
room," she said. "The housework had
not been done. The breakfast dishes
were not washed. / washed the dishes. /"
Her testimony was not changed by the
rigid cross-examination.
Ella NJ. Brown said that when she
heard of the murder she went to the Col
Inns farm. Mrs. Hattie Collins was
Strengthening up the parlor and Mrs.
Henry was washing dishes. Some clothes
which had been washed, but not ironed,
were scattered around the room. Mrs.

cinator was tied around her neck. There
was much dry blood about Mrs. Collins
face and in her hair. Collins was look.

Miss Cora Henry, a pretty brown-eyed

becoming brown skirt and pink waist. A
iaunty brown hat trimmed with white

came to our house and asked for my
father. He said some one had killed Ida.
Il afterwards went to the scene of the
murder and saw Mrs. Collins lying in the
stable. Her feet were against the door
Collins" she said, "told her that when he
came back from his work he went to the
porclf and the house and called her, but
She did not answer He said he went tC
the carriage house thinking she might bs

Her testimony was not changed by thi
cross-examination.
