IN TWO FACTIONS.
Aledo Witnesses in Mckinney
Case Show Alignment
Of Nsiehbors.
SOME FOR, OTHERS AGAINST
State Offering Testimony in Rebuttal
to Show Defendant
Sane.

feOrla, Ill, June Zu.-tSpeclal.1 IA
half dozen witnesses were put ON the
stand by the prosecution to give evil
dence in rebuttal in the Mckinney case
this morning. There are in the neigh
borhood of 20 more to be heard, and
the defense will have brief inning be-
fore the arguments are made to the
jury.
Divided Into Factions.
Evidently from the class of persons
placed on the stand the trouble that
the defendant had with Stella Grady
has separated the people of Aledo into
factions. Mrs Poland, who had work
ed at the Mckinney home, during the
first trial of the case related things
Mrs. Mckinney had said. The witness
believed she was sane
More Mere Opinions.
Miss Mock, nurse who had attended
Mrs. Mckinney, believed her to be
sane. A Mr.. Snyder, a liveryman of
Aledo. thought that Mrs. Mckinney
was sane. He told of instances where
he indicated that she had full posses
sion of her faculties On the cross ex-
animation he made some damaging ad-
missions
PeOria Physicians Called.
Peoria physicians were called yester-
day afternoon as the final witnesses
for the defense DR.. A. N Keith, Dr.
fered by the defense, swore that Mrs
Mckinney is now insane and they sup
plemented this testimony with evi-
dence relating to the natural and usual
effect of the period of life through
which Mrs. Mckinney is now passing
upon the mind.
Miss Ella Simpson. the nurse for
Mrs. Mckinney, was the first witness
on the stand yesterday. and she merely
testified to the condition of Mrs. Nc
k.nney's health at present.
DIR. Reynolds Testifes
The rebuttal offered by the state be-
gan with recalling DR.. Reynolds, who
swore that in April of 1905 Mrs. Nc
Kinney was sane. that she was sane in
June. but that unless she was feigning
when he saw her in December she was
insane at that time. Mr. and Mrs.
Laird of AledO were called and swore
that DR.. Charles Carter, the witness for
the defense who had sworn that Mrs |
Mckinney was insane, had told both of
them that Mrs. Mckinney was only
suffering from nervousness and that if
she had been only vicious she was de- !
serving of sympathy still" DIR. J. w |
Ramsey, church associate of Mrs. Nc !
Kinney. declared that he had thought |
her sane during the year previous to
April, 1905.
