WIDOW Fin
COLLAPSE
At TRIAL
Trial Hats When Widow Of
/ Slain Contractor Breaks
Down

The trial at Rockville of Fred
Arthur Mcclellan, twenty-five
year-old Georgian, accused Of
numbering Thomas A. Simms,
Kensington contractor, November
8, was abruptly halted today when
Mrs. Simms, the first witness to
testify in the case collapsed and
was carried unconscious from the
courtroom after telling briefly
of the circumstances that led up
to the killing of her husband.
A suspension of the trial was
ordered and Mrs. ,Simms was
placed under the care Of Rockville
physicians.
Began to Weep.
Mrs. Simms appeared under con.
siderable strain when she first
took the stand. A delay OF more
than two hours had been necessi-
tated in the selection of a jury.
After answering the first ques.
tionsa put to her, in a hating and
nervous manner, Mrs. Simms be-
gan weeping when she described
the arrival at her home of her
husband on the fatal evening.
AS she told of her husband follow.
ing young Simms out into the
yard of their Kensington home

later, Mrs. Simms collapsed in her
chair. Judge Arthur Peter ordered
a brief suspension of the trial.
In the brief testimony which she
gave, Mrs. Simms made no men,
ton of the alleged invitation said
to have made by Mcclellan to
Simms Ito come out in the yard
and have it out"
Her husband, she said, arrived at
their home late on the evening of
November 8 and at once quarreled
with her.
Then leaving her. she said, he
went into an adjoining room where
Mcclellan, a boarder in their home,
was reading and ordered him out
of the house.
Both of the men then returned
to the front ROOM" she said and
Mcclellan told me that he had
been ordered from the home, but
that he did not intend to leave
until l had told him to.
Mcclellan then went into the
yard and my husband went out
also moment later.
1t was at this point that Mrs.
Simms collapsed.
Mcclellan Defense.
Lawyers defending Mcclellan
will endeavor to show that Simms
while under the influence Of hard
cider, abused both Mcclellan and
his own wife, and that in the
quarrel and fight that followed, the
young man killed Simms in sell
defense.
Statements that Mcclellan, was
justified in his deed were made by
Thomas L. Dawson, the young
mans attorney, in his opening
remarks to the jury.
John A. Garrett, district attorney
kwho preceded Dawson In addressing
the jury, declared that the prosecu.
ton will prove that the murder was
provoked by Mcclellan. who invited
Simms out into the yard Ito have il

Simms was stabbed to death by
Mcclellan with penknife late in the
evening OF the Sth of last month. 1t
is admitted by McClellan's defending
lawyers that the killing followed q
quarrel between the two men in
which Mcclellan was accused by
Simms of eing-unduly intimate with

West in Grip Of First
Severe Sleet Storm
Of Season.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The West
today was in the grip of the
first severe sleet storm of the
season, which was taking its
toll of crippled wires and de-
moralized traffic.
Entire communities in the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Western
Kansas and Colorado, on which
the storm swept down from the
mountains today, were cut nff
from outside communication and
fragmentary reports trickling
into Chicago told of severely
low temperatures and cities en-
crusted in the ice of frozen
rain.
Swirling snow flurries, the
advance herald of the storm,
greeted early rising Chicagoans
today and the temperature con-
tinued to drop as the day
progressed, an indication of .he
eastward movement Of the cold
wave.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The dis
closure that Sir Hurri Singh, heir
of the Maharajah' of .Jammu and
Kashmiri, is the "Mr. A." of the
$75O,OOO blackmail case, probably
will be followed by the summon
ing of Sir Hurri to London to
testify in the criminal actions

declared today.

rants will be issued for others

There was lively conjecture today
over the possibility that the expose
OF Sir Hurri by the India office
as the victim Of the plot might
cost him the throne of Kashmir.
Sir Hurri is the nephew Of the
present aged maharajah, but has
neen recognized as heir to the
throne. The maharaja is reported

disclosing his name would change
the line OF succession.
London newspapers are full of
tales OF the wealth Of Sir Hurri

fortune he layishes large sums in
