HEAVY VOTE IN
MINNESOTA Is
EXPECTED TODAY

st. Paul. March 14.-May day
weather conditions today provided a
big boost for prospects of heavy
vote in the delegate primary election
in Minnesota with the polls open from
IL noon until p. m
Delegates to the Republican county
conventions next Saturday and the
Democratic county conventions the
following Tuesday are being chosen.
while many municipalities and town
ships also are holding their regular
elections.
The warm weather of the past few
days and the attendant thaw have
done much to put roads in improved
condition. and reports today indicate
at least an average vote would be
cast.
Some districts, where municipal
elections also were being held, re-
ported little voting through the fore
noon. but this was ascribed to a de-
sire by the voters to ''kill two birds
with one stone.' in voting in the mu-
nicipal and the delegate primary cleo
ton at the same time. AS the dele
gate primary polls are open only after
noon, this requires voting either in
the afternoon or the evening.

District Attorney Charles w. Fricke,
today resumed the opening argument
in the trial of Mrs. Madalynne- Oben-
chain. charged with the murder of J.
Belton Kennedy by asserting the de-
fendant was "as full Of explanations
as a ruant school boy" He said she
had an excuse for every bit of incrim-
mating evidence. but declared her ex
plantations were not reasonable.
Mrs. Obenchain came to court smil-
ing and apparently much. more COM
posed than she was yesterday when
she faced an hours cross examination.
She paused before taking her seat
and asked the matron, who escorted
her. whether her dress was properly
adjusted. The matron as we'll as 9TH
er observers saw nothing to criticize
about the garment.
The defendant smiled frequently
during Fricke's address,.

the case. The prosecution contends
Burch fired the shot which killed
Kennedy.
Mrs. Obenchain's testimony was
completed Monday afternoon. The de-
Tense called only one more witness
and the prosecution confined its re-
bnttaf to the testinon OF. one witness,
Mrs ]. D. Kennedy, mother of the
| slain man. a&-tE tat
| Mrs. Kennedy testified that Miss NJ
L. Wilson, proprietor of a beauty
parlor." told her on July II. 1921,

going to cry"
Miss Wilson testified for the de-
tense that Kennedy and Mrs. Oben-
chain communicated with each other
through her and denied she made the
statement to which Mrs. kennedy

Obenchain, who was divorced by
the defendant in Chicago about year
after their marriage in Los Angeles in
