an, giving her name merely as Mrs.
Kennedy" was seeking diligently to get
to the governor in the capitol. for the
purpose of convincing him. if possible,
that Clay was insane, and she knew
why
Mrs. Kennedy came to the capitol
early this morning. and asked to see
the governor. She was there two hours
before the governor was due After
waiting While. she said she would go
to the mansion, but did not state what
her business was.
After a while she came back to the
capitol. and Secretary Jesse Perry, see
ing her i'll the corridor. asked her bust
ness. She then said she wished to
see the governor. She said she had had
experience among insane people. and
had studied their characteristics She
said "a hearty appetite and a rapid
pulse" were two infallible signs of men
tai wreck.
Secretary Perry assured her that
there was no use seeing the governor.
as the case had been settled-that it
was closed.
Mrs. Kennedy was not at all dem
onsrative She talked calmly, said she
never had laid eyes on any of the Clays
-but insisted that she knew C'1aN wa 9
insane nevertheless
Eventually a noon edition of The
Atlanta Georgian reached the capitol
and Mrs Kennedy read therein the
story of Clay's admission that he had
been shamming and been playing a
part.
Mrs. Kennedy left the capitol imme-
diately. and made no further effort to
reach the governor
