UNCONTRADICrED STORY.

Under the insistent hammering OF
the States attorney in the Superior
Court here, where she liz on trial
charged with the murder of DR.. Her
bert Tetlow, Mrs. Kenyon could not
be made to swerve from her story
told on direct examination.
This STORY was that the shootipE
was accidental. and caused by the
struggle over the revolver with which
she meant to Kill herself In the pres
cpce of the doctor who for five years
had been her lover.
All day Mrs Kenyon alone held the
courts attention Only once did her
fortitude leave her and she wept so
that the Prosecuting Attorney offered
to excuse her IL she was weary. Her
quick rctort was that she was still
strong and only begged him to put
his questions plainly so that she
would understand.
HUSBAND SITS SILENT.
Mr.. Kenyon, her husband, a gray
tired looking man, thin, quiet, his
sparse hair neatly brushed across his
head. sat bowed and silent through
out the day. as he did all of Friday
the opening day OF the trial. Beside
the husband sat the three sons. slen-
utr youths, tHt SouhbpSs n wy Al
knick erbockers.
Mrs Kenyon, smiling to her attor-
ney, Herbert w. Rathbun. of Wester-
ly. her home town, took her seat in
the witness chair She wore a trim
mouse-colored taffeta and georgette
dress, a black wolf scarf about her
| shoulders, gray suede slippers and
gray suede gloves. She was bare
headed, her straight gray hair pulled
tight and low across her forehead
and held in place by a pin OF bril-
| liaDts.
Two crimson spots burned on her
| cheekbones all day. Her face was
drawn, her eyes strangely bright, a
row of fine wrinkles sinking deeper
, and deeper between her eyes as the
, day advanced.
Tie defendant told again of her
early life, her three marriages, her
love for and association with DE-. Tet-
low. Asked IL in three of the four
years she said she was intimate with

NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-Miss Annie

Miss Schurer committed the indis-

of a coffee pot which the alms-seeker
promptly smashed down on the top Of

In the general scrimmage which
ensued, the husky beggar despite the
fact that he was handicapped by the

husky male patrons to rout and kept
a good advantage over a number OF
opponents until Patrolman Martin

For fellows love she risked her
soul and her security. She might at
least have expected sympathy and
understanding when coming to her
lover in distress over some gossip.
GOADED TO DESPERATION.
Now, some eight months before
this time, Mrs. Kenyon's affair had
been broken off prior to the birth Of
her last child. She wanted to tell the
doctor she would die rather than re-
new their furtIve friendliness And
people were saying things" she re-
minded him of one woman especially.
Did she ask you who was the
father OF your baby?" Tetlow taunted
her. probing to hurt
This intimation. so the woman who
killed him says, drove her, to attempt
This and the further remark of DR..
Tetlow that IL death was the only
way out of trouble, as he believed it
sometimes was, he still doubted II
she had the courage to do 1t. Mrs.
Kenyon later tried to kill herself in
her own home. but her fathers pic
ture on the wall before her took her
back to an earlier day when that
staunch parent said, Face life brave
'ly; only a coward takes his own life.'
Unhappy and distracted, Mrs. Ken
yon selected the doctors apartment
as the best place to end her life. She
entered, she saw Tetlow twisting
blade of grass between his surgeons
fingers-twisting and tearing IL as he
had broken her own happiness.
One shot fired for bravado. II can
do it can" she boasted hysterical-
ly, then leveling the gun against her
self the struggle began by Tetlow
for the weapon, and his own end fol-
lowed.
RECALLS LITTLE OF DEATH.
That is all the woman on trial for
murder remembers of the manner of
her lovers death. But she recalls how
he wooed her, his sweet words to her,
his "wife," his sweetheart and other
endearments.
Dying in her arms, Tetlow-the
brute whose sncers had caused his
end-inspired Mabel Kenyon to say:
I'm glad i was your sweetheart and
your wife and I will always be-" Yet
she had nearly gone mad when her
lover suggested her last child might
be his. --. '....
We know that she felt degraded by
her affair with him and wanted to
break it off, but there is also the fact
that she held him in her arms and
whispered assurances of love to him.
Even at the last the dying man
dominated her.
"I am too old now-nearly ready to
die-and L love you" the doctor had
once said. Why not cheat time and
fate, the two thought, and now one
is dead and the other disgraced!

BURSUM COMES A CROPPER

Mr.. Bursum came bad cropper
when he charged that the Albuquer-
que Morning Journal was bought for

ly $4,000.
Mr.. Magee, the present owner, re.
piled that the tax valuation for the
Journal was fixed before he made
the purchase and that he purchased
it from the same crew of mine tax
dodgers that he is attacking. The
Chino and Phelps Dodge Companies
were New Mexico purchasers of the
Journal in 1918, when the purchase
price was S115,000 cash, the exact
figure Mr.. Magee paid for it last
April.
1t appears that Hawkins and Sully

THE CAMPAIGN is NOW ON

The Democratic Central Commit.
tee Of Torrance county wishes to
announce that the Democratic cam.
paign is now on.
The Republicans have held their
convention. The least said in re-
gard to that convention the better
off we will all be. The manner of
nominating the Republican ticket
is now history,
We wish simply to call your at
tention to the fact that the Repub-
licans were forced to travel far and
wide to fill out the ticket. Their
nominee for county school superin-
tendent's interests are not now in
Torrance county, if they ever were.
Nevertheless the Republican ticket
is out. Whether it goes to election
day as it now stands is a big ques-
tion.
Its reputation by the voters of
the county iS-certain.
The Democratic campaign will not
stoop to mud throwing. In this
campaign which we will conduct VIC
are willing and more than willing
that the individual candidates shall
be elected, or rejected, on theii
merits. Let this campaign be {
clear cut issue Of fair play; let the
idiotic imbecility of the Willard
Record chatter itself into oblivion
unmourned
From Democratic standpoint
this must Of necessity be an
economical campaign. We have not
an unlimited campaign fund with
which to fight. We must depend
upon the loyalty Of the party's rank
and file.
The opportunity is before us to
sail thru with the election of every
candidate on the county ticket But
to accomplish this fact every Demo
crat in Torrance county must be
willing to do his or her share of
the hustling.
Get in touch with the chairman
of the county central committee and
let him put you in touch with a
job that will show results ON the
second day of next November.
This is matter Of profound i'm.
portance to the welfare of the coun.
try in which we hope to make our
stake.
Watch for the announcements
meetings in your local school hous-
es and be Herewith your wife
and all the neighbors.
Take enough interest in county
politics and register so you-and
your women folk-will be able to
vote. Remember that this right to
vote was not a gift from the gods,
but that your ancestors fought and
died that you might walk up and
vote on election day.
