WOMANW|THSTANDS RAIN 0F QUESTIONS Mrs. Kimmel Says Would Rather Have Son Than
 Millions

St Louis, February 16.-Mother love or money love? This harsh question was put by counsel for the defense to Mrs. | Estelle Kimmel shortly before court 9d- | journed today when he reviewed In cross examination her statement that she would rather have her son back than all the lsniIlions of the insurance company or New York, which is being sued to re- cover on policy on the life of George A. Kimmel Klmmel disappeared rom Arkansas City, Kans.. in 1898.
 You say you would like to have your son back?" said the lawyer. DO 5cu mean you would like to have back your son in his former manly vigor, but not this convict. with his record stained with crime and his body and mind marred by disease?"
 T want my son back as he may pe' responded the mother earnestly, with all the infirmties or deformtles that may accrue with years. but I don't want a convict who does not resemble my son m a single feature"
 Was it mother love or money love- said the lawyer sternly, that kept you fl om going to this man for three years?'
 'I don't believe him my son. she ie' piled
 Counsel then asked for her reason TOT waiting three years before going to sec the claimant She had explained the de- lay in her direct testimony by saying friends who had seen the man convinced her that he was not her son.
 Counsel emphasized the fact that sHe went on a pleasure trip to Europe In tne summer of 1908. while the man was III Matteawan, and sought to snow t.iat she might have stopped on her way east to see him.
 Her reply was that she took the steamer at Montreal and did not pass through New York state and her way. The route, she said, was not of her planning as she went with party.
 Counsel for the defense trapped Mrs. Kimmel into the statement that. she did not recognize a picture of her son. George A. Klmmel.
 He showed her a newspaper picture, a reproduction of photograph, and asked her if she recognized 1t as her sons DIG ture. She put on her spectacles, looked at the picture and said:
 q should say most emphatically not.
 Counsel then pointed out that the pic ture was taken from the plaintiffs ex- hibits and was half tone copy of an eu- thentieated photograph of Kimmel.
