SOBBIlNG WOMAN

Mrs. Obenchain Declared She Had No
Agreement with Burch to Bring
About Kennedy's Death.

/ Los Angeles, March 0.--Madalynne
! 0bcnchain, who yesterday sobbed out
on the witness stand the story Of her
love for J. Bolton Kennedy, for whose
murder she is on trial. to-day faced
| the ordeal of cross-examination.
In her direct examination, Mrs.
0benchain detailed her acquaintance
and love for the young broker from a
point dating five years ago, gradually
under the direction of her counsel
reaching the climax, the night OF Aug
5, last, when Kennedy was slain in
her presence on the steps of his sum
mer cottage in Beverly Glen, a suburb
She told of two shots and two strange
persons running past her in the dark
ness.
She told of her marriage TO Ralph
II. Obenchain, Chicago attorney, of the
divorce he permitted her to obtain;
of her coming to Los Angeles; of Ken
nedy's alleged plea for a secret mar
riage, because his mother objected to
Mrs. Obenchain as a daughter law:
of the arrival here Of Arthur c. Burch
of Evanston, H., jointly indicted with
her for the murder of Kennedy, and of
many details which linked these events
together.
Once, she said, when she had tried
to change the subject after Kennedy
had asked her if she loved him, he de-
clared:
III your lips won't tell that you
love me, your eyes do
II did love Belton," she answered.
"And did he love your"
II believe he loved me-"
''Did you have any agreement with
Burch by which you were to bring

come.

London, March 10 (By the Associ
ated Press Removal Of Lord Read
ing a. viceroy Of India, it is believed
in some quarters, will be the denou'
ment to the publication of the Indian
governments note. There is nothing
tangible on which to base this belief
but it is not improbable as a sequel
to the virtual dismissal of Edwin s.
Montagu's resignation is the subject
OF much curiosity, and there are some
misgivings lest the removal Of the
chairman of Indian political reform
have a dangerous repercussion there.
Equally momentous from the domes-
tie political point of view is the effect
the whole affair may have on the for
tunes of the government. especially as
to the position of Prime Minister
Lloyd George. Some believe the
chances that the premier will make
good his threatened resignation have
been considerably increased and that,
if he also takes the view that Amer
lean abstention from the Genoa con-
ference lessons the prospect Of success
there, the country may soon learn OF
his definite retirement.
The successor to Secretary Montagu
must be appointed soon in view Of the
dangerous situation in India. The
opinion in the lobbies over night was
that Winston Spencer Churchill who
was first mentioned as likely to be
is too intimately concerned
in the Irish settlement to allow his re-
moval from his present office as secre-
cary for the colonies. There il also
talk of the duke of Devonshire, former
governor general of Canada.
