MRS. PRICE
NOT GUILTY

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. 29,-Mrs.
Lulu Kennedy Price was today acquitted
on the charge of numbering her husband.
Her plea was emotional insanity This
was the second trial. The first resulted
in conviction with a sentence of 10 years.
Three years ago she shot six Hullets
into her husband and kicked him in the
face, saying, You'll never betray another
girl.
The cause of the killing was his suit
for divorce alleging that marriage had
been uniustly forced upon him by her
father and brothers with revolvers.
