DANCE HALL MEETING.
Art student and Girl Bride Become
infatuated.

Chicago, May 6.-Joseph A. Will
liams, of Kansas City, was recon-
mended to be held to the grand jury
without bail for the killing of Leon
Lafayette LaCount at the coroners
inquest Monday. Williams, who is %
years old and has a wife in Kansas
City, shot LaCount, when the latter
attacked him yesterday for attentions
to Mrs. LaCount. Williams is an art
student and has been studying here.
The testimony developed that La
Count had spent but two days with his
1T-year-old bride before he went to
his duty as government inspector on
the Panama and that improper con-
duct if any between Williams and Mrs.
IaCo,nt took place on only one oc-
casion, when they knew the husband
return was imminent and they did not
expect to see each other again.
All persons, except the jurors and
the witness, were excluded from the
court room when Mrs. 14aCount came
IN a point in her story where she told
of her last meeting with Williams.
Mrs. LaCount told of her secret mar
rage in February and of her husband
departure two days later. She met
Williams, she said, in February at a
dance hall.
I'VE we're not introduced" she said,
but 1 danced with him several times
and he said he would see me there
again the next Wednesday"
Mrs LaCount told of other dances,
calls and walks with Williams, ending
with their last visit to the dance pa
park.
Williams declined to testify. Mrs. La
Count gave way to hysteria when the
verdict was read.
