Miss Under was not at home last
night but her mother. with whom she
resides, explained that her daughter had
met Van Reed about six months before
the murder and that he had become a
close friend of the family. At the time
of the death of Mrs. Linder's husband
Van Reed had been more than kind and
they were all much attached to him,
Mrs. Linder said. She denied that Miss
Linder had ever been formally engaged
to Van Reed, but admitted ne had been
attentive.
MY daughter is a member of the
Camp Fire Girls of Christ Church." said
Mrs. Under, "and believes in doing kind
acts. Except for her Van Reed hasn't
friend In the world. and she will stick
by him until the last. Nettic IS trying
now to enlist the aid of the Red Cross

tives. Unless he gets stay he will be

The detective said his job was to find
the burglars and not the pants, so he
left. Reynolds telephoned to his home,
but his family had gone out. He called
to his friends. but they apparently were
out. There was only one thing left to
do. SO he settled down to wait for some
body to come along with an extra pair
OF pants. He figured that IL he could

MANY FEAR NURSE,
SAYS MRS. KINKEAD
Widow Predicts Olivia Stone
VIII Not Be Allowed to
Go on Stand.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 14.-For the first
time since she returned to Cincinnati
with the body OF her slain husband Mrs.
Louise G. Kinkead, widow Of Ellis Guy
Kinkead. who was shot by Olivia Stone
in Brooklyn ten days ago. has spoken
for publication. She believes the nurse
will not be tried.
She said Miss Stone knew too much
about prominent people of Cincinnati
and elsewhere to be turned loose on the
stand. Further, Mrs Kinkead asserted
she believed the killing OF her husband
had been due largely to the influence of
Cincinnati attorney over the nurse
and limited that blaclmail may have
played a part.
although Olivia Stone shot and
killed Mr.. Kinkead," the widow said.
"her actions were influenced by an at
torney who continually encouraged the
woman's action and advised her as to
methods OF extorting money and perse-
cutting my husband.
Frequently Ellis Kinkead spoke to
me of her demands. When she de-
manded $4,000. helpless as he was. he
believed that he could silence her accu-
sations and threats by giving her the
money. She was told to demand this
amount.
Some time before he was shot he
managed to beg friends for the loan of
money to add to his meagre savings,
gained through determined efforts in his
law practice. Olivia Stone was notified.
At that time Ellis kinkead believed her
tn be destitute. She was ready to ac-
cept this sum and had promised not
to bother him again. when adviccs were
received from an attorney demanding
81 500 of the $4,000 as his share in the
blackmail. Olivia Stone. believing that
1t was easy money demanded an adj
ditional $500 for the attorney.
OLIVIA Stone contends she has too
much information concerning the past
lives OF many OF Cincinnati's most promi-
nent people to permit her to reveal all
she knows on the witness stand.
1T would be terrible, for she is vim
dictive woman and would not hesitate
to drag any ones character in the mire.
l have been told that one Cincinnati
woman has engaged an attorney, fearing
that Olivia Stone may carry out her
threats 10 expose her IL the case Is
called to trial"
