WOMAN IS NEAR COLLAPSE
Almost Faints During Reading of In
dctment Which Charges That
She and Burch Killed J.
Bolton Kennedy.

Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 16.-Arthur
@. Burch and Mrs Madelynne Oben-
chain, arraigned in the Superior court
here ON an Indictment charging the
murder of j. Bolton Kennedy, asked
for an extension of time IN which to
plead. They were granted until Au-
gust o.
Under the California law the de-
PENDANTS were entitled to a two days
extension. Their attorneys requested
this be extended to a week, to which
Judge Sidney U. Reeve consented.
Woman Is Near Collapse.
Mrs. Obenchain appeared to be on
the verge of collapse as she listened
to the reading of the Indictment
which charged that she and Burch
killed Kennedy, her former sweet
heart, in front of Kennedy's cottage
on the night of August 5. Burch dis
played no emotion
Mrs. Oberchain was brought to the
court room by woman deputy sheriff.
They walked from the county jail to
the hall of justice along the street on
which both buildings are located. Mrs.
Obenchain leaned heavily on the dep
utys arm. She was greeted in the
court room by Ralph r. Obenchain,
her former husband, who sat with her
during the proceedings. He will be
her lawyer.
AS Burch entered the room, Mrs.
Obenchain glanced casually in his di-
rection, then looked away. The eyes
of the prisoners apparently did not
meet during the entire proceedings.
obenchain Admitted to Bar.
Prior to the arraignment, counsel
for Mrs. Obenchain moved that Mr..
Obenchain, who is lawyer practicing
In Chicago, be admitted to the bar in
California for this case only. Judge
Reeve granted the motion.
Asa Keyes, deputy district attorney,
then started to read the Indictment.
"We will waive the reading" said
attorneys for Burch and Mrs. Oben-
chain simultaneously.
mo, you won't" retorted Reyes,
and proceeded with the reading.
Mrs. Obenchain stood beside her
former husband at the counsel table,
leaning on the back of chair for sup
port during the reading. 0benGhain
whispered TO her occasionally. When
Reyes read the words "For the muir
der of J. Bolton Kennedy, a human
being" Mrs. Obenchain closed her
eyes and her body swayed. Her grip
on the chair frightened and she APP
peared to be about to fall, but man.
aged to regain her composure.
Attorneys for the defendants ex-
planned they wished delay in the
pleading in order to have further con-
situations on possible motions to be
made on technical points at the time
of pleading.
Sure Son Is Innocent.
Rev. William A. Burch of Evanston,
Ill.,, father of the other defendant, was
In court with his son. He expressed
absolute faith in. the innocence of the
young man.
Mr. Obenchain, before court opened,
said he regarded the charge against
his former wife as absurd" and de-
clared she told him the same story
she told authorities. This was that
Kennedy was shot by two men of "for-
eign" appearance, whom she could not
identify, while she was with him in
front of his cottage in Beverly Glen.

ANTI-BEER BILL HITS
LEGISLATIVE SNAG
Extension of Law to Hawaii
and Virgin Isles Ruled
Out by Protest.
Special Despatch TO THE NEw YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
IN A.ar II


New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c., Aug. III
The anti-beer bill struck an unexpect-
ed snag In the House to-day. which
makes the date of its final passage un-
certain. Upon hearing of the delay Sec
rstary OF the Treasury Mellon stated
that he will issue the regulations allow
ing the sale of beer as medicine unless
the measure is finally enacted before the
proposed Congressional recegs. due to
start about August 20.
Should the House make strong fight
to knock out the Stanley amendment
imposing a penalty on officers who
search private homes for liquor With
out warrants, which is bitterly opposed
by Representative Volstead, leader OF
the House drys. the bill might fail be-
fore the recess.
The snag to-day was clever parlia-
mentary maneuvre staged by Repre-
sentatives Mann Qll) and Walsh
(Mass). y was brought about by the
overzealousness of some Senate "drys'
to extend the volstead law to other
parts of the world. specifically the
Hawaiian and Virgin islands. This. 4
was held. would be an added burden on
the Treasury. because OF increased en-
forcement cost. and the House has a
rule that no such proposal can be sent
10 a conference with the Senate without
first being acted upon in a regular way
in the lower branch of Congress.
Mr.. Walsh made this point of order
and was backed up by MIR. Mann. II
was entirely unexpected by Mr.. Vol
stead. He insisted that the original law
extended to these islands. and that the
Senate amendment merely made Ii mon,
certain that the possessions were to be
dry.
Speaker Gillett asked Mr. Volstead to
point this out in his original law. For
fifteen minutes Solstead sought to find
the specific section. Other dry leaders
filibustered while he hunted. Demo.
cratic leader Garrett moved a recess
until the section was found. but was
defeated. In the gallery sat Wayne B.
Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon League, ner.
vously twitching his hands.
Finally Mr.. Volstead admitted that lie
could not find the section and Speaker
Gillett sustained the point of order.

bill to conference. but it happens that
