COUNSEL SCORES
FOR MADALYNNE
Paints Verbal Picture of Great
Love of Mrs. Obenchain
for Kennedy.

Los ANGELES. March Ia
Neither Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain
nor Arthur c. Burch, her co-defend-
ant. had anything 10 do with the
shooting OF J. Belton Kennedy. ac-
cording TO the burden Of the argu-
ment today of Alfred Z. Macdonald.
defense attorney, at Mrs. Oben-
chains trial on the charge of muir
dering Kennedy.
Macdonald at the opening of the
morning session. launched into an at
tack upon the states testimony
intended TO show that Burch lay in
wait for Kennedy while Mrs. Oben-
chain lured the latter 10 the spot in
Beverly Glen. where the shooting
occurred He said there was no
conclusive evidence that Burch wa
in the Glen the night OF the shoot
ing and that ii was absurd 10 believe
Burch carried a shotgun from Chi
cage TO Los Angeles. as charged by
the state, with the intention OF
shooting a man he had never seen.
The attorney called attention thai
no one had testified 20 having seer
Burch with a shotgun. Declaration
that Nadalynne Obenchain's love for
Kennedy was too great to admit OF
possibility that she should be guilty
OF the crime charged was the closing
statement of MacDonald's argument.
Mrs. ObenChain wept when Jud
r Rush. senior counsel for the de-
Tense. read letters which he said had
passed between her and Kennedy
Rush said Kennedy lover her "as
devotedly. Loyalty. passionately and
endyiugly as she loved him" He
declared the state had not shown
that she ever held any malice toward
Kennedy
Mr. Rush said Kennedy's death
was a mystery. and referred 10 the
prosecutors case as one OF the
cries and not OF facts and that
Mrs. Obenchain looked upon Burch
in a sisterly way and that the testi-
mony showed they were not lovers.

Disagreement.
BILLS FATE IN PERIL
Opposing Factions Agree to
Await Return of Speaker
Gillette Saturday.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-There
developed today a difference Of
opinion among republican leaders in
the house as to the method of call
ing up the soldiers bonus bill on the
floor. one group still favored con
sideration next Monday under a sus-
pension of the rules, which would
cut off all amendments while an
other held the opinion that delay in
acting would be preferable.
on all sides it was stated that a
decision would await the return
here Saturday of Speaker Gillett,
who is in Florida with Pres't Hard
ing. Meantime there was specula q
ton among house members as TO
whether the speaker would enter
tain motion to suspend the rules
and pass the bill.
Chairman Fordney. Of the ways
and means committee disclosed that
he had been informed by Mr.. Gillett
before the speaker left Washington
that he had better not depend en-
trely on a suspension of rules as the
procedure for getting the bill before
the house. Since he has been in
Florida, the speaker has indicated
that he might not entertain a motion
for this purpose, because of what he
regards as the Importance of the
bonus measure.

Representative Mondell, Wyoming
the republican leader said today it
would be rather unusual" for the
speaker TO refuse to entertain such
a motion if a majority OF the house
desired consideration of the bill I'M
der such a plan. He added that it
was his judgment that a majority
did so desire.
Representative Garner. Texas.
ranking democrat on the ways and
means committee, declared that If
Speaker Gillett were persistent
against the passage of the bill he
has the power in mis- office 10 pre-
vent its consideration"
In discussion today, in house cloak
rooms and corridors. some of these
advocating consideration OF the bill
under a suspension Of the rules ad-
vanced the argument that to take
it up under a special rule might re-
suit in a defeat of the bill.
Await Harding's Views.
Those counselling delay beyond
next Monday think that before the
house acts there should be an in
formal conference by house leaders
with Pres't Harding. followed by a
party conference of house republi-
cans with the view of an agreement
10 reject all amendments except
those approved by the majority
party.
