TAKING EVIDENCE
Examination of Witnesses in the
Mckinney Case Begins
This Afternoon.
COOKE BEFORE THE JURY
Makes Opening Statement - AIlesa.
tons by States Attorney Are
Sensational and Startling.

Examination of witnesses was begun
in the Mckinney cruelty case in AledC
this afternoon. Hon. George a. Cooke
| attorney for the defendant, made his
opening statement to the jury this
morning. indicating that the defense
would be insanity in so far as Mrs
Mckinney is concerned.
Judge Graves issued an order this
morning excluding all minors from the
court room on account of the charac-
ter of the case. which will be gone into
in all of its horrible details.
Startling Statements.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
public has become more or less famil-
lar with the charges that were to be
brought against the Mckinneys with
reference TO the alleged cruelty toward
Stella Grady. the people of Aledo were
startled at some of the things laid be-
fore the jury as alleged facts that he
expected TO be proved. These were
things unbelievable and inconceivable
in human beings. and if true will make
this case one of the most notorious and
horrible in the criminal annals of IL
linois.
