Mrs McCann Is about 81 years Of age and
before her marriage was acknowledged to
have been one of the most beautiful and
accomplished young women In this section
OF the country.
She had only been married about two
years She was married against the VIII OF
the family, the ceremony being performed
in Windsor. Canada
In her early womanhood, Jennie CallAway,
with her three sisters. was frequent WIS.,
itor to Owensboro and was primo favofito
among society persons. While her father
was in fine circumstances she was Of an IN 4
dependent nature and taught school for sew
eral years. She then learned the miIlinAxyy
business and was in a wholesale nillfnsr
store in Louisville when she met and mar
ried James P. McCann.
Her family never approved Of her infatua>
tion for McCann and for that reason sha
was not married at home. 1t seems that
Mrs McCann has not communicated with
her relatives since the recent trouble. Her
brothsr-in-law. ]. G. Nelson. who Is ono Of
the wealthiest land owners In Hancock
County. was communicated with at Wait
tonight in regard to Mrs. McCann.
He was ioath to talk and only said that he
believed that Mrs. McCann and her husband
were married in Chicago.
He had received no word from her since
her husbands death. He said though that
her trouble was Weighing heavily upon her
aged parents. All they had heard Of her
trouble was through the papers. Il seems
that Mrs. McCann has never been back
home since she married.

harrington made the foregoing statement
in his cell in the Clayton jail yesterday

have been puzzled to know how harrington
could overcome his alleged opponent, as the
latter was the larger and stronger man OF
the two.
He was shot from in front, which would
have given him. the officials argue. an op-
portunity to have defended himself unless
he was under the influence OF an oplate
which had temporarily weakened both his
mental and physical strength.
