KENYON MURDER IS
 UP BEFORE COURT
Today'S Session Interrupted by
 Arguments

Norwich, Oct. 15.-The jury in the case of Mrs. Mabel Kenyon, on trial charged with the burder of Dr. Henry Tctlow of Pawtucket, was not called into court today until just before the noon adjournment. Judge Hinman spent the morning in listening to fur ther evidence bearing upon the admis- Sibility of tn statement of Coroner Franklin H. Brown, now dead, in which there purports to be a recital by Mrs. Kenyon of alleged relations be- tween pr. 7Nctlows and herself. Tho court late yesterday took under con- sideration the objection of the defense as to admission of this statement on the ground that Mrs. Kenyon did not know what it contained; that she did not have an opportunity to read ii; that she was not warned that anything she might say of an discriminating na- ture might be used against her, and on the further ground that there were assertions in the document which were not so.
 Today Judge Hinman asked Judge Rathbun, counsel for the accused. if he had further evidence to offer as to the inadmissibility of the document. Mrs. Kenyon was placed on the stand and denied that the coroner was cor rect in writing into the document that she had had close friendship with Dr. Tetlow and that he was the father of her infant child. She said that she was not told of what was in the state ment when she signed it; that she saw the coroner doing "a lot of writing," and then he pointed out d place for her to sign. Mrs. Kenyon made a gen. eral denial of the statement and spe- cific denial of various statements in it.

NEW BUILDINGS AT BAYLOR
HOSPITAL NEAR COMPLETION

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 2.--Work on
the new Woman's and Children's and
the Dispensary buildings which are to
be added to the main group OF the
Baylor Hospital at DALLAS will be
completed as quickly as possible ac-
cording to an announcement made
last week following a meeting of the
Board OF Directors of the Baptist
Greater Medical Center The approx
mate cost OF the two buildings will
be 100000.
The dispensary will have a depth
of 81 feet and a frontage OF 165 feet
with an extension in the rear approx
imately so feet square. II will be
four stories high, constructed OF re-
inforced concrete, with stone and
brick exterior terra Gotta trimmings,
harmonizing with the present main
buildings The women's and childrens
building will be T-shaped structure
100 by 12O feet, five stories high,
built out of material similar to those
used in the dispensary A feature OF
the childrens wards, which is an in
noyation in this section OF the coun-
try. Is the method by which the in
diyidual wards ana rooms will be di-
yided by plate glass wall instead Of
the usual woodwork partitions. This
construction affords the purses an un
obstructed view of all the wards at
the same time. and in addition has
been found an excellent means OF
keeping vonvalescent children in go
splits because they can observe the
action OF others.
The plans for these buildings were
decided upon after all of the great
hospital centers in the North and
East had been inspected by com
mittee of the Baylor Hospital Officers
and directors.
