Dan Mitchell, county attorney who filed a charge of murder against Miss Atkinson when chemists first reported the viscera showed poison enough to have caused death, indi- cated the revised report was entirely unexpected. He revealed that he had the new report before the start of the preliminary hearing yester- day when letters were introduced) showing the devotion of Miss Atkin- son for the Rev. Charles Bailey, grey-haired father of the dead girl. Mitchell said that Dr. W. H. Bai- ley, Oklahoma City chemist who made the poison tests, called him late Tuesday night and told him of the negative findings. To Have Clinical Tests The county attorney said he im- mediately went into conference with his assistants and decided to pro- ceed with the clinical test Monday along with that of doctors who at- tended Mary Jane and her mother, who died three weeks before her daughter under similar mysterious circumstances. Stuarf Bailey, 16-year-old son of the minister, and one of four Beller children who became _ seriously ill when Mary Jane was stricken, was the first to testify. He aeclared Miss Atk..son “kissed dad more than once” the day following Mrs. Bailey’s funeral. i The youth then testified that Miss * Atkinson threw her arms around his father and consoled the pastor while they discussed plans for the futur.

Perhaps you don’t feel so, but I do, but neverthe- less—however it is—no matter what you do or tike now, you can never take from me the love I have for you and whether you want it or not you have to have it.” Ordered Her to Leave _ The Rev.
