Hint Given Kennedy
Slaver Might Have
Aimed at Divorcee
Los Angeles Prosecutor's
Hope Is Divers To-day
Will Locate at Ocean's
Bottom Slayer's Shotgun
Spsciat [>'3r<itch to The Tribune
?LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.?While the
county grand jury considers evidence
involving Madalynne Obenchain and
Arthur C. Burch in the mystery of the
murder of J. Helton Kennedy, Los An
K??es broker, deep sea divers to-morrow
will search the ocean bed in Santu
M?mica Bay in an attempt to find the
shotgun used by the slayer.
.Both Burch and Mrs. Obenchain '?
were questioned for hours to-day, and j
the woman, fiancee of tho plain man,
VU rumored to have made new reve?
lations to District Attorney Woolwine.
He asserted he would present material
evidence against Burch. Recovery of
the shotgun, he insists, will virtually
complete the state's case against ;
Burch.
While funeral services were being
held for Kennedy to-day, a coroner's
jury was returning an open verdict
after an inquest sensational in the ex?
treme. There a possible new angle for
a solution of the killing was brought
forward ?that the shots might have
been intended for Mrs. Obenchain and
not Kennedy.
'Mrs. Emma Smart, mother of the
young divorc?e, admitted on the wit?
ness stand that J. D. Kennedy, father
of the slain broker, "would have to
admit, he had often threatened my
daughter.
"The bitterness of Kennedy's father
for my daughter will have a bigger
bearing on this case than anyone real?
izes," she continued. "The stories
that Donna?that's our pet name for
Madalynne?would not let Kennedy
alone are not true. It was the other
way around.
"Even after her marriage, and while
she was still living here, Kennedy in?
sisted on visiting her. On one occasion
Kennedy's father threatened to have
the place raided unless his son left
there immediately. If the past of Bel
ton Kennedy is forced open by a mur?
der trial, many startling disclosures
may be expected."
Drink Causes Dismissal
Of Wesleyan Athletes
Methodist University Head Re^
ports Ball Players, Singers
and Girls Consumed Liquor
MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Aug. 10.?
The five students whose departure
from Wesleyan University became
known yesterday, among them Elliott
Newhall, football captain, were dis?
missed for drinking, Dr. William A.
Shanklin, president of the university,
said to-day. Dr. Shanklin explained
he had tried in vain to have prohibi?
tion enforced more strictly in this city.
Except for Newhall, the names of
those dismissed have not been an?
nounced. Some of them, however, were
members of the Glee Club and are
said to have got drunk on a trip the.
organization took to Waterbury early
in the spring. Some, who are mem?
bers of the baseball team, are said to
have had liquor before a game with
Amherst in May. It is said thtet sev?
eral were drunk at a dance at a fra?
ternity house at which it was evident
that young women also had been
drir.king.
Dr. Shanklin explained that the stu?
dents wero dismissed, net expelled,
from the Methodist university, and
would be able to continue their studies
In another college.

These men should file their claims im?
mediately and these claims should be
sent to this office. We will get in touch
with the bureau immediately, so that

for them.
"If you do not already have the sots
of blanks for filing compensation
claims (Forms 626, 539 and 545) in
your post headquarters, get in touch
with the local chapter of the American
Red Cross, and if the blanks cannot
be obtained there notify me imme?
diately how many sets you will need.

are urged to bring with them any
papers or letters that they have with
them bearing on their cases.

Hospital Doctor
Of Striking Her
Child Patient Alleges Physi?
cian Bruised Face, Throat
ami Blackened Eye Before
She Fled Ward to Home i
Dr. Russell Means, Tiouse surgeon of
the Mar hat tan Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital, appeared before Magistrate
H. Stanley Keiiau?l in Yorkville court
yesterday on a summons procured by
the So,'uiy for the Prevention of Cru?
elty to Children, on behalf of Tessie
Vallary, of 416 Hast loist Street.
il?- *? a ? chargi ?I "? ?th si riking t he
thirteen-year-old girl in the face and
otherwise treating hei roughly in a
public ward of the hospital on July 'J'l.
Che eise was adjourned until August
16, pending investigation, Dr. Means
ivas paroled in the mean time. Thomas
Byrnes, an agent of the Children's So
ciety, who obtained the summons, said
that he was informed by Clerk Grover,
on duty in the hospital ward, that the
physician was seen striking the girl.
Tessie alleges that Dr. Means bruised
her face and throat and blackened her
right eye, and that she fled to her
home in terror, with the result that
-he has since suffered a nervous break?
down and has had attacks of pleurisy
and bronchitis.
The accused physician testified that
on the ?lay preceding tho alle;.;?-! as?
sault Tessie Vallary had her tonsils
and adenoids removed by another sur?
geon and that he was obliged to ex
nminc her to see what progress she
was making. She refused to open her
mouth, he said, and he had to r:?l! a
nyrse to hold her hands and some one
else to grip hut feet. He admitted
giving her a slap In the face, but with?
out any intention of doing her harm.
"What happened was entirely in the
line of duty," said Dr. Reuben O'Brien,
superintendent of the hospital, last
night. "We knew all about it and
cannot understand how the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
should have taken this action. Two
doctors had trouble examining the girl.
Hither through pain or ignorance she
refused to open her mouth. I suppose
it was necessary for Dr. Means to be a
bit rough in pursuance of his duties
but 1 am sure there is nothing remotely
resembling assault in the case.
"The child ran away from the hospi?
tal with wild stories of what happened.
It is absurd to say that she had a black
eye or was bruised. Certainly, the
hospital will take no action in the
matter. Every one knows how children
will act when they are sent to a hospi?
tal by parents, against their will."

Farrar-Tellegeii
Lawyers Declare
Peace Impossible
Diva's Legal Champion Goes
So Far as to Refer to Act-1
or and Those Associated
With Him as 'That Bunch'
All hope for a reconciliation between
Geraldine Farrar and Lou Tellegen j
was dissipated yesterday when Harry j
A. Steinfeld, attorney for the actor,
admitted that he had sounded the j
diva's lawyer, Alvin Untermyer, con
ci rning a settlement of the pending
separation suit. Mr. Untermyer re?
plied, according to his legal opponent,
that there was no possibility of an
agreement. Mr. Steinfeld said:
"I called up Mr. Untermyer, but he ?
said that Mrs. Tellegen was obdurate.
We are going ahead with the separa-'
tion suit on the ground of desertion.
"If the defendant does not tile an i
answer in twenty days from August -i, |
the day we served her, we will proceed ']
to file a copy of the complaint in the :
Westchester County Court and pre
pare to prove our case.
"Mr. Untermyer is familiar with the |
ground on which Mr. Tellegen will !
sue. 1 personally sent him a copy of!
the complaint. I do not know if Mr. '
Tellegen will make a public statement
regarding the charge that he did not j
contribute to the support of his horn?. |
You can readily understand that we do I
not wish to try the case in the news- ;
papers."
Mr. Untermyer said:
"I am going to let that bunch do all I
the talking. I neither affirm nor deny |
that Mr. Steinfeld sounded me out on I
a leconciliation, or that I have re?
ceived the complaint papers in the :
case. When the time conies for us to
act we will do so at our own pleasure."

of Dorothy Catts, the actresr.. and or?
ganizer of the holding companies,
"squandered large sums of both d?
fendp.nf corporations wantonly and
needlessly, hr-s failed to collect larr?
sums due the corporations, and has
been inexcusably vacillating in m.-:!.
agemont."
Colonel Felder said that Mr. Hurt
had obtained the option on the Gran I
Central Palace from the du Pont or?
ganization, and that Mr. Catts had
made agreements- which he had not ful?
filled.
