MRS. OBENCHAIN
is FIGHTING FOR
SEPARATE TRIAL
Says District Attorney Wants
to Use Alleged Confession
Against Her.
BECOMES PHILOSOPHER
Copyright, 1921. by

Los ANGELES, Oct. 13.-As her at
tornegs prepared to enter court today to
plead before Judge Sydney y. Reve for
a separate trial for their client, Mrs.
Madalynne c. Obenchain, Jointly in
dicted with Arthur c. Burch for the muir
der Of J. Bolton Kennedy, announced she
had changed her mind about the pro-
cedure of her case.
Sitting in the reception room of the
county jail the beautiful prisoner dis
cussed her case with q reporter.
Il know l was quoted as being indiffer-
ent toward the matter of a Joint or sep
arate trial." she said. Il am sorry that
l permitted such a statement 10 get out
because l have come to realize that the
real reason the district attorney wants to
have me tried with Arthur is so that he
may have an opportunity of using that
alleged confession Of Arthur's against me
al well as Arthur,
BELIEVES IN
BURCH'S INNOCENCE.
while 1 have every confidence in
Arthur's innocence and want TO continue
to be his friend, yet l refuse to let the
district attorney play upon this friend
ship IN an effort to gain an advantage
for his side of the case. That is why he
is so anxious TO use this purpOrted con
fessiOn Of Arthur's against me If he can
possibly do so. And the only chance he
has is TO secure q joint trial.
Humble prison life has transformed
Mrs. Obenchain from a frivolous woman
into o philosopher. She is preparing
her mind and spirit for the ordeal Of her
trial
Her only close companions are we'll

the soul Of a woman.
PRISON LIFE
PALS ON WOMAN.
Sometimes in the early morning when
the prison dormitory is still gray" she
said, II awake suddenly and stare about
me and wonder where 1 am. Then grad
ually, like a horrid dream, the truth
comes with dswning consciousness. The
rest Of the day isn't half so bad; it's
just the long hours before dawn when
[ lie awake alone and everything is so
STILL that II is dreadful
Prison wouldn't be half bad II only
one could slip out now and then and walk
around the block. No one who has never
been in prison can understand that mad
craving that comes over ore just for q
glimpse Of sky. just for a Whit of fresh
air. Just for the stir of the streets, just
for the feeling that the whole world
is before one and one may walk in what
ever direction one pleRses."
