RELATES DETAILS I Stella Grady on Stand in Mc Kinney Case at Peoria TELLS OF AWFUL CRUELTY Story Conflicts on Cross Examination With Some of That Given at Aledo. Peoria, 111., June 13. (Special.) Following the recitation, yesterday of the horrible practices which Stella Gra dy was subjected to by Mrs. Mary L. McKinney, the girl was put to a se vere cross-examination by Attorney Cooke this morning and gave evidence contradictory to that in the trial at Aledo. Attorneys Cooke and Quinn are endeavoring to show that Mrs. McKinney is at a period of life when she is mentally deranged. Further, that in the moments of her rage an uncontrollable passion seized her. Admit All t hai-Re. Apparently no effort is being made o impeach the testimony of the girl as as the defense has already admitted to the jury that all of the charges of cru elty were true. On many points, how ever, the witness has said differently at his trial than at the one in Aledo. Climax of Stale' Kviilenoe. The atrocities suffered by Stella in lcr daily life at the McKinney home, is told by the girl herself, in a long and terrible recitation yesterday after toon, marked the climax of the state's ;vidence in the famous Aledo case. In the midst of a densely packed ;rovd which taxed the efforts of the lailiffs to keep order, amid a breath less stillness in which jurors leaned far jver the rail of the jury box to catch he faint words of the young girl on he witness stand, while Mrs. McKin ney sat a few feet away writhing in mental suffering, Stella Grady related the incidentals of her brutal treatment and the ferocity of the woman who tad taken her to "teach her gentle nanners and good housekeeping." I'int-linl and S-rnt-lied. "She began by pinching me," the ;irl answered as State's Attorney Gra lam took her hand. "She pinched my ace and my arms and scratched me.""" Stella Grady continued. "Before I had been there a week Mrs. McKinney began stabbing me in the back with a long pronged toasting fork and with embroidery scissors. With rubber heels she slipped up be hind me and before I knew what she ft'as doing she would call me an ugly name, a fice or a bitch and accuse me of being lazy, and then strike me in the back with the fork." the girl pro ceeded. "Well, was this all she did?" "Xo, when I had been there a week. 5he suddenly threw, me face down on .he floor one day. and began stratching aiy hips and thighs." Turn Karen Ana'. As the girl related the revolting de tails of her suffering and of the cruelty jf the woman who at such times had kneeled down over her, the spectators, disgusted beyond description, turned iway their faces, and hardened expres sions settled over the faces of the jur ors. The cross examination of the de fense attempted to bring out proof that Mrs. McKinney never displayed any inger during these attacks but strong roof to the contrary developed as Stella Grady told of the last beating ?he received before she was rescued ind the beating which called the at ention of the neighborhood to the out rages. trahlM'ri the tiirl. "I had been out in the yard and :ad been washing." the girl began. 'As I stepped up to the door of the jcreened porch she grabbed me and erked me inside. "'What have you been doing since o'clock?' she asked me. I told her I tad been washing and then she beat ne for half an hour with a stick of vood from the wood box." The development of the insane the Dry began with the cross examination )f Stella Grady, and the defense laid a foundation for proof of periodical in anity, which the state expects to tip set.
