of representatives is apparent.

FATHER TO PROVE DOME'S BIRTH
Aged lowan Looks Like Twin
Brother of Son Who Dis
owns Him.
Chicago, June 21. Disowned by his
son, John Murray Dowie, father of John
Alexander Dowie, the "First Apostle,"
arrived in Chicago last evening alone,
having left the seclusion of his cottage
In the village of Essex, Iowa, to refute
the assertions of his son and clear the
name of his dead wife.
The appearance of the old man in
Chicago was far different from that of
his son when traveling. Instead of a
private car or special train, he stepped
from a Pullman coach, carrying two
antique valises which held the proofs
of the birth of John Alexander and he
old man's modest laundry.
Look. I.Ike Tvrlna.
The 21 years difference between the
ages of the father and son have been
lost in the lines of the old man's face
and he looks as like the son as if they
were twin brothers. The bald head,
patriarchal beard, tall hat, and even
the voice and smile are the same.
"You will need no papers to prove
that you are the father of the 'First
Apostle,' " said Deacon Piper, who met
him at the station and escorted him to
his room at the Great Northern hotel.
All that you need to do Is to step
into the court room and the-judge will
recognize you."
Denim Parentage.
He will receive no welcome from his
son. John Alexander Dowie has testi
fied that the old man is not his father
and he will not recognize him as such.
"I have two sons. They are John
Alexander, the mortal, and Andrew,
who lives in Australia and is the finest
salesman in the country," said the old
man proudly. "You see, I say John
Alexander 'the mortal." That shows

MOTIVE IS
REVEALED
Mrs. McKinney Told . of
Hate for Stella
Grady,
SO NURSE TESTIFIES
Emphasized With Profanity
Severe Blow for the
Defense.
Peoria, 111., June 21. (Special.) A
number of additional witnesses for the
state were examined in rebuttal this
morning, some of them members of
Mrs. McKinney's church at Aledo. The
gist of the testimony was that the de
fendant appeared sane at the time her
alleged cruel acts were committed and
was posing as a society leader in her
home town. The case is expected to
go to the jury Saturday, though to
bring this about it may be necessary
to hold a night session of court.
Illoiv for lie feu m.
Peoria, III., Juno 21. The de
fense of insanity on which has
hung the only hope of Mrs. McKinney's
friends to save her from the peniten
tiary was given a crushing blow in the
rebuttal evidence which has made the
prosecution confident of a conviction
and caused a decided change in public
opinion.
As the case stands, it is a balance
between the positive evidence of lay
men that Mrs. McKinney Is sane and
has been sane, against the opinion of
alienists that she is of unsound
mind. The fact that a jury, especially
a jury of middle aged men, is apt to
disregard expert evidence, has lent ad
ditional confidence to the state.
Knrw She Wax Sane.
The crowning evidence of the state
came yesterday from Miss Ella Lock
wood, the girl who nursed Mrs. McKin
ney during her tirevious trial. Miss
Lockwood swore to t&o incidents
which went as strong proof of the san
ity of Mrs. McKinney last December.
"The day that Dr. Wright testified at
Aledo that he thought that Mrs. Mc
Kinney was insane because he had
seen her down town alone late at night
Mrs. McKinney said to me on our way
home. 'Dr. Wright is a fool if that made
him think I was insane,
I was waiting!
for my husband, 4 ho was in his office
in the building. "i
Miss Ivockwoodj added that Mr. Mc
Kinney had sat up until 10 o'clock the
night the jury went out waiting to see
if the lights in the jury room went
out indicating an 'agreement, and then
she told of how Mfs. McKinney had ad
mitted her guilt to her. and shown a
motive for her crifne. This is the first
time that the stale has been able to
show a clear motjve.
Hated Her.
"I tortured Stella Grady, I did ev
erything to her which they accuse me
of except one or two things. I treated
her cruelly because I hated her the
d d little fiest," Miss Lockwood
swears that Mrs. McKinney told her.
The witness concluded her evidence
by declaring that Mrs. McKinney had
at all times appeared rational to her.
Her evidence was unshaken on cross
examination.
