EXPRESSED NO REGRET
OVER THE MURDER
Jason Kenney Died With Declaration
on His Lips That He Was Not Sorry
He Killed His Brothers Wife.

Lunenburg, Sept. 20.In the farm
house of Villas Z. johnson, five miles
from this village, brutal murder was
committed Sunday night when, in a
fit of jealousy, Jason kenney entered
the bedroom of his brothers wife,
Clara Kenney, and emptied two bar
rels of his shotgun into her face and
head. Death was instantaneous. Ken
nev then went down stairs TO the
kitchen and reloading the shotgun dis
charged one barrel at his heart. The
shot, however, pierced the lungs below
the heart and he lived until 3 o'clock
Monday morning. He told the doctor
who attended him that he was not
sorry for the deed which he had
planned several days ago and that true
love was the motive.
Kenney took advantage of Mr.. John
sons absence from the home and when
everybody was asleep committed the
act. He had lived in the house since
the middle of July helping on the farm.
1t is said he was not a man of high
mentality. Sleeping with the murdered
woman was her l7-month-old daughter,
Ruth. and when Mrs johnson entered
the room after the shooting she found
the bed clothes on fire from the close
discharge of the gun, and had to smoth-
er The flames to save the baby's life.
Mrs Kenney was married to William
kenney in Lancaster, \. H., six years
ago and six times since the marriage
the two have separated. Kenney left
his wife last fall and went to Lancas-
ter to live and Mrs. kenney had just
applied To the court for a divorce on
the grounds of intolerable severity and
desertion. Besides her daughter, she
leaves two sons. Bradley aged three
years, and Robert, aged six years.
A double funeral will be held here
on Wednesday afternoon.
