Mrs. Madelynne Obenchain-
He admitted that Mrs. Obenchain
several times had visited his room In
a downtown hotel directly across from
the building in which Kennedy had his

Mrs. Obenchain, but told Nolan that
he had taken several long rides with
her In automobiles that he hired under
the name OF NJ. c. Obenchain.
He said he knew nothing OF Ken
nedys' death other than accounts he
had read In the newspapers.
Sent Woman Funds
He admitted mailing ss6 in cur.
rency to Mrs. obenehain on Satur-
day, sending the money by special
delivery to the county jail.
He told Nolan that the package he
had been seen. carrying from mis- hotel
the night of the Kennedomurder was
only a bundle OF old newspapers he
had thrown in q vacant lot in the
Wiltshire district.
Throughout the interview with
Nolan and Sheriff Sam Gay. of Clary

that he knew anything Of Kennedy's

Among the things that Burch will
be asked to explain, II is said, is

Meantime, Mrs. Obenchain, the for.
mer Northwestern University beauty,
