THE TESTIMONY NEEDED.
- J. Belton Kennedy, wealthy roue
OF a proud California family, was
slain by a gunshot while he was
entering his lodge in Beverly Glen
on the outskirts of Los Angeles
with Madalynne. whom he had
refused to marry.
The indictment charged that
Arthur c. Burch, an infatuated
youth. had committed the killing
at the vengeful girls behest.
Twice Burch was tried for muir
der and twice the jury disagreed.
Once Madalynne was tried and
again the Jury had disagreed.
Roman swore the girl. fighting
literally for her life, had ar
ranged for him to testify that he
had seen two ragged men dis
cussing a picture Of Kennedy in
= compromising position with a
woman and they had asserted in
his hearing that unless Kennedy
paid them blackmail they would
hill him.
This testimony would have dove
tailed into Madalynne's state
rnsnt on the stand that after the
shooting Of Kennedy she saw
two ragged men run through the
shrubbery.
ROMAN HELPED SOME.

was . star witness for the do

perjuring himself in testimony to

tsr told him he had given the
thorn testimony merely to gain
the favor Of the prosecutors Of
fics, which had something on him
In another csse Whatever the
truth was, Romans evidence thsn
went Ear toward saving buroh
from conviction.
The young thief testified this
week that he had met Madaiynns
through Kennedy and renewed
their acquaintance when he was
arrested for larceny and she for
murder. They oorresponded resu-
iarly, he said. and admitted that
