Crazy, She Kills Him. But Receivers
and Escapes Asylum.
(By the Associated Press }

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Lulu
Prince Kennedy Kramer, on trial Sc
eond time for the murder in January,
1901, OF her first husband, Philip X. Hen
nedy, was found not guilty by jury here
today At her first trial she was con
victed and sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary.
The case was reversed. giving her re-
lease on bond. Last February she mar
ried John Kramer, an attorney. Mrs.
Kennedy killed Kennedy. who was local
agent for the Merchants Dispatch Trans
portation Company, month after they
had been married. He had refused to live
with her. bringing suit TO have the mar
riage annulled on the ground that he
had been forced into il.
The first verdict was reversed on a
teehnIcality. Mrs. Kennedys defense was
emotional insanity and evidence was pre-.
sented to show that her grandfather and
grandfather had died in insane asy-
lums. one in New Hampshire and one in
Connecticut.
The verdict Of acquittal was found sole.
ly on he ground that Mrs Kennedy was
insane when she shot her husband. The
jury, however, found that the defendant
has since regained her sanity, which will
save her from being sent to an asylum

the extra session whIch merged into the
regular session. A point Of order was
raised By Mr. Maddox (Dem. Ca against
the payment ot mileage second time and
he vas supported by Mr. Littleheld (Rep.
Me- who eontended that there had been
no interregnum and consequently but one
session of Congress, and therefore no an-
thority Of law for second appropriation
for mileage.
Mr.. Grosvener proposed an amendment
providing that any member 50 desiring
might cover any money due him under
this appropriation into the treasury.
Laughter followed it, reading.
MIR Maddox said he had heard cheap
amendments offered before and he could
exercise his right TO accept or return
money without amendment.
The interest manifested in the question
was shown BY the fact that there were
few empty seats On either side Of the
chamber when the mileage item was
reached. Mr.. Littlefeld received close at
tention and was placed with numerous
questions a. to his Interpretation Of the
law and the Constitution. An adjourn
ment was taken before a conclusion was
reached.
Consideration Of the amendment in
creasing the appropriation for the expen-
ses OF the district land Offices precipitated
a discussion on the subject OF alleged land
frauds. Mr. Mondell (Rep. wyo1 author
OF the amendment, in urging an increased
appropriation called attention TO the IN
creased volume OF business. Mr.. Robinson
lDem. Ind asked II the increased busi-
ness was not due TO fraudulent entries
Mr.. Mondell replied that he had no knowl-
edge TO that effect. and said he believed
the reports OF frauds 10 be greatly ex-
aggerated by persons in whose interest il
is TO have such reports circulated.
The provision in the Urgent Deficiency
Bill to defray the expenses OF the Inter
national Exchange Commission and an.
other provision authorizing the consoGda-
tion OF customs collection districts, were
