WITNESS TEST|F|ES OF
OCCURRENCES ON NIGHT
Of KENNEDY'S Staying
State Weaving Strong
Net of Circumstance
Around Burch

Los Angeles, Dec. 8-The story of
Mrs. Elizabeth Besanti hiatt she saw
Arthur B. Buch near the scene of the
Staying of J. Bolton Kennedy, close
to the time of the tragedy, and her
description of other occurrences of
that night took up practically the
entire day in Burch's trial for the al
legged murder of Kennedy.
Mrs. Besanti was under cross ex-
animation all afternoon and will be
recalled to the stand when the case
is resumed tomorrow. Striking
points of her testimony were these:
Kennedy and Mrs. Madalynne
Obenchain, jointly indicted with
Burch, drove up to Kenntdy's cot
tage in Beverly Glen near the wit
ness's home about nine o'clock the
night of August 5.
Soon afterwards two shots were
fired about minute or two apart.
A mans voice was heard, after the
second shot, the words being 1've
got him." A woman's voice then was
heard, the words being indistinguish-
able. Then followed some whispers.
Mrs Besanti, her husband and a
passing motorist, going to the Ken
needy cottage found Mrs. Obenchain
alone. Nearby on a flight of steps
leading to the cottage was Kennedy's
body. Mrs. Obenchain and the mo-
torist went for help and a few min
utes later cracking noise was heard
in bushes surrounding the Kennedy
cottage. A little later a dog barked
down the road, near the point where
the prosecution contends Burch had
parked car, and next motdr was
started and car drove off.

Geneva, Dec. S-Some idea of the
misery and primitiveness of agricul-
tural labor conditions in some parts
of Europe was given the Information
al Federation of Working Women
during its recent congress here, by
the Italian delegate, Signora Casar-
tell.
She indicated the low standard of
living by suggesting as a program
of improvement four recommended
tons: That agricultural laborers
must not sleep in stables, that each
worker should have a separate bed,
that beds should be aired and rooms
heated if necessary, and that men
and women must have separate quar-
tiers under sanitary conditions.

SOUTH END RESIDENT
GAVE NEIGHB HB0RS SCARE

John Spriggs, long time resident
of the south end Of the city says Il
is coming to q pretty pass when q
man can not step out Of his own
home, accept an invitation to dine
with friend and visit for q few
minutes without. having the neigh
bors get q battering ram, force the
door in and go through the house in
search Of his dead body.
Mr.. Spriggs lett his home early
last Thursday morning, expecting to
be gone for only a few minutes,
therefore he did not kick the cats
out and the neighbors all knew that
when John went away, the cats were
put out first. Byron Rich first no
ticed funeral stiffness around the
Spriggs' home and looking through
the window (after rapping on the
door and getting no response) saw
the cats doing in chair inside. Mr..
Rich communicated his fears to 9TH
err neighbors. Great anxiety was
aroused and visions of Johns lifeless
body inside the house somewhere
were floating in the minds of all. FIJI
nally J. w. Wells, the mail carrier,
came along and the little, group of
people communicated their fears to
him.
Mr.. Wells left the scene but the
further he got away from the place
the more his opinion grew that there
was something wrong. Dinner time
came and still no signs of life about
the house. When Mr.. Wells made
the after dinner delivery of mail, the
mornings papers, etc. were still in
the box.
Instead of clearing, the mystery
began to deepen and Grant Francis
co, Halph Johnson and others sug-
gested going ahead and finding out
where Mr.. Spriggs was. Finally
some one suggested telephoning
around and runner was sent down
town and Postmaster w. F. Bricker
got busy on the telephone and soon
found out that Mr.. Spriggs had been
down town and had gone to dinner
with l.. l.. Parney.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Spriggs was max
ing his way home and when he ar
rived he found a number of neigh
bors deeply concerned over his well
fare and glad to be spared the car

they were planning on making

DON'T CALL CENTRAL
AFTER FIRE ALARM

Manager, Jesse Presley of the To-
cal Citizens Telephone exchange
says that the habit which has been
formed among the phone subscribers
of this city after a fire alarm has
been sent out is very apt to cause
a serious lot of trouble with perhaps
a loss of property and life if it is
persisted in as the hundreds of peo-
pie who call Immediately after the
fire whistle blows, asking where and
all about the fire, so seriously inter-
fere with the real necessary business
calls that it is next thing to impos-
sible to give service which is in many
cases urgent.
Just supposing that fireman or
some one else should get hurt at a
fire and the services of a physician
should be required and some one
went to a nearby phone to call him.
With so or 60 calls-and as rule
there are three times that many
asking where the fire is, it would be
next thing to impossible to get a call
through for a doctor Suppose again
that one Of your family met with an
accident or sudden illness and you
needed a doctor and in a hurry at
that-time was precious and the
minutes seemed like years, all be-
cause you rang and rang and rang
and couldn't get central because cen
trail was so busy telling people that
a chimney was burning out some
where in the city.
We have got to say that the girls
at central have sNgays been very
courteous in answering calls for this
where's-the-fre information but in
view of the fact that it does serious
ly interfere with necessary business
we believe that the people will be
glad to refrain from this practice
when their attention is called to it.
