Los Angeles, Eal., aug. -
Mrs. Madelynne Obenchain, who
claims to have been the fiancee OF
John Bolton Kennedy, slain brok-
er, today proclaimed her love for
Kennedy and declared she @didn't
care what happened"
1t was the first time since she
was taken into custody as ma
|terial witness. in the case that
Mrs. Obenchain had been permit
ted to talk to newspapermen and
it was her first coherent account
of the killing Of Kennedy in front
of his Beverly Hills cottage last
Friday night.
you know that in all proba-
bility you will be indicted for
murder?" the young woman was
asked.
With her hand pressed TO her
heart she answered:
II don't care what they do.

thought too much of Mr.. Kenne-
dy and was too much shaken by
the loss of him to think about
myself"
Mrs. Obenchain said she had
not known until she read the
newspapers that she was under
suspicion.
1T was staggering" she said,
ito think l had been fooled this
way but it is matter OF entire
indifference to me what they do,
or how they twist my statements
Mrs. Obenchain repeated her
initial statement that she saw two
men in some bushes near the cot
tage at the time OF the shooting
adding that she believed they
were foreigners"
She said that after the firsi
shot she screamed and Kennedy
cried out:

Then second shot was fired
the men fled and she ran to Ken
nedy, took his hand and said;
Bolton, speak to me, for Gods
sake, speak to me-" Finding he
was dead she ran for help, she
said.
other features of the interview
were questions which Mrs. Oben-
chain declined to answer, for ex-
ample:
did you or Kennedy have any
foreknowledge. fear or Fremont
tion that he was TO be murder
ed?"
II would not answer that"
did Arthur c. Burch, who ia
detained here in connection with
this case, have authority from
you to use the name MT. oben-
chain when he rented an antomo-
bile the night of the murder?"

that would reflect on Mr.. Burch. =
Mrs. Obenchain said it was true
she had summoned Burch to Los
Angeles from the east, but said ];
was only through natural desire
to have friend visit this city.

She denied she visited Burch in
his room in a local hotel although

there with Burch.

Portents of Disaster
Passengers and crew members
said today that the Alaska car
ried portents of disaster with her.
The first omen came when she
jammed her berth while getting
under way at Astoria last Friday,
damaging the pier dolphins and
frightening timid passengers
Throughout Friday night she
eruised through thick weather,
sounding her siren frequently and
picking up every warning signal
along the coast line.
For some reason that has not
fully developed there was change

McCllntock said, she cruised full
speed ahead and soundings were
dispensed with, although the
weather was thick. According to
hcCllntock the lead was not
weighed until the Alaska skim

Tried To Save Babe
An outstanding tragedy of the
wreck which came to light to-
uay was the frantic, but futile,
eliort of Lew White of Seattle to
save the baby boy of Mrs. Char
lOl'e White of Portland. The
whites were not related.
Seeing Mrs. White struggling to
put her boy in a lifeboat, White
seized the infant and himself
made the attempt. The boat slip

All Asperity vanishes.
Paris, Aug. 9.-With today's
meeting of the allied supreme
council here to consider the Up
per Silesian question, all asperity
between the French and British
delegations over the Silesian boun-
darq apparently had disappeared.
Both sides were agreed that the
unity OF the allied powers cannot
be wrecked over a matter so rela-
lively unimportant.
Mr.. Lloyd George, the British
prime minister, is quoted as hav-
ing remarked that the mere pre-
sence OF the American ambassador,
Colonel George Harvey. has had a
stabilizing effect. Il being felt that
he brought with him a calm out
side view thae tended to soften
the sharpness Of the controversy.
Explains Events
Paris. Aug s.-Generai Lerond,
head OF the inter-alIied commission
for Upper Silesia. appeared before
the supreme allied council here to-
day to explain events leading up
to the Korfanty instruction there
last spring. He was bitterly at
tackled by Germany for his alleged
failure to foresee the attempt BY
the Poles to take over large
part OF the Upper Silesian piebis-
cite area and there were hints
that he did not take proper meas
ures to meet the situation when II
developed.
Brigadier General II. t. Allen,
commander In chief of the Amer
ican army Of occupation in Ger

rene council Immediately after IL

fdrlS, aug. o.-6T0HlcI brluHu
Of France and Mr.. Lloyd-George.
prime minister OF England, have
decided at private meeting upon
a compromise partition OF Upper
Silesia. it was declared here today
on good authority.
The compromise boundary line
is understood to have been drawn
approximately as follows:
Beginning west OF Pless on the
Vistula river and running west of
Gleiwitz. west of Tost and Gross
Strehlitz north to between Rosen-
berg and Kreuzberg and thence to
the frontier Of northern Upper ST.
lesia.
This line, while by no means a
straight Nne, approximately bisects
the Silesihn plebiscite area. The
reputed agreement must be form
ally ratified by the supreme coun-
ell.
No Reinforcements.
1t was upon the private settle
ment being reached, 1t is under,
stood, that the council decided not
to send reinforcements to Upper
Silesia at present, the British and
Italian delegations voting against
the sending OF French troops for
this purpose as France had desir-
ed.
The conviction Of General Le-
rond, OF France, head OF the com
mission, was that trouble smight
occur even il there were an inn
mediate decision.
The British and italian view
prevailed and the council decided
against the sending Of reinforce
ments for the time being.
The new line is accepted in prin.
ciple as more nearly representing
the real meaning OF the plebiscite
vote than anything previously pro,
posed. The division also splits the
disputed industrial district.
British Position Stated.
At the opening OF the session
Mr.. Lloyd-George took occasion tc
declare the position of the British
government upon what he called
the menacing problem to the
peace OF Europe. Silesia, he said
had belonged to the German race
for 700 years--a part Of that per
iod to Austria, but for 1T years
to Prussia--and the British gov
ernment would not consent to any
division not based equitably upon
the votes of the Poles and the Ger
mans in the disputed region.
The British prime minister said
in substance that the British gov.
ernment keenly sympathized with
the French desire for safety, know
ing that France had suffered in
two wars. That security, how
ever, he declared, ought to rest up
on the moderation with which the
victors used their power and upon
equity In apportioning Silesla. The
British empire, the prime minister
declared, would never be dragged
into another war caused by op
pressive use Of superior force oi
