CONFESSED SLAYER [Indian Woman’s Attorney | HAS: SANITY TESTS Towa Farmer Who Killed Two Daughters Objected . to Girls’ ‘Boy Friends’ ‘Newton, Ia., Mar. 28.—(7)—George ‘T. McKinney, 52, Mitchellville farmer and confessed slayer of his two daughters, Artie Dora, 25, and Gladys, 12, on Wednesday, today went through ‘a series of sanity tests and an all- morning grilling which county offi- cials hoped would establish a motive for the slaying. A. M. Miller, county attorney, and State Agent E.C. McPherson said they would quiz McKinney for furth- er facts concerning the slaying and his admitted objection to young men paying attention to the daughters. A first degree’ murder charge was likely to be filed late today, Miller said. Norman Wallace, 24, a Colfax min- er, told the county attorney last night that at the request of McKinney he had ceased keeping company with Artie, one of the victims of the dou- ble killing. McKinney had no objection to Ar- tie having girl friends, Wallace said, but the farmer did not think it ad- visable for her to go with boys as she hhad been a cripple since she had her leg amputated after an accidental shooting by her father nine years ago. ‘Wallace said he promised not to see the girl again and McKinney express- ed his appreciation. Artie, Wallace stated, had praised her father, indicating he treated her splendidly despite the fact that he would not let her have “regular dates.” FEAR MISSIONARIES IN BANDITS’ CLUTGH Three Finnish Women Reported Killed After Being Taken From Chinese Boat Canton, Mar. 28.—/?)—Further con- cern for the 16 American Catholic missionaries at Kanchow, Kiangst was shown today when it became known authorities believed Nananfu, 50 miles from Kanchow, had fallen into the hands of Commu- nists and’bantits’who have been pil- Inging and killing throughout the southern part of the province for weeks. Although Chinese officials con- tinued to maintain that the Red siege on Kanchow had been lifted, Mission- aries expressed doubt, saying mission- eries at Kanchow had said they would report dispersal of the bandits as soon as it took place. Meanwhile attempts to communi- cate with cities of Southern Kiangsi proved fruitless, with the bandits con- trolling telegraphic facilities. Mission headquarters reported three . Finnish women missionaries had been captured Feb. 3 in northern Kiangst and reported killed. Missionary dis- patches said they had been taken from a native boat on the Kan river between Kianfu and Changshu, Ironton Miner Admits Stabbing Woman Dead German War Aviator To Face Divorce Suit Calls Artist ‘Squaw Man’ Marchand Admits Affairs With Indian Women Because of ‘Professional Necessity’ CHECK INTIMACY WITH LILA Never Quarreled With Wife, De- spite Her Knowledge of His Philanderings Buffalo, N. Y., Mar. 28.—(?)—Henri Marchand was ready today to sub- mit to the harrying of defense at- torneys seeking to know of the rela- tionship between the French sculptor and the Indian woman, Lila Jimer- son, on trial as an accomplice in the murder of his wife. Labeled by the defense as a “squaw man,” the artist yesterday “professional necessity” of breaking down their reluctance to pose for his Indian museum groups. ‘The defense planned today to check and recheck Marchand’s story of his intimacy with Lila and to analyze his statement reiterated during cross ex- amination, that he knew nothing of the Indian girl’s plot to kill Mrs. Marchand by instilling in the super- stitious mind of Nancy Bowen, an aged tribeswoman, belief that the artist's wife was a witch responsible for the death of Nancy’s husband. # Used Tactics Elsewhere Defense counsel yesterday wrung from Marchand an admission that he had used tactics on a Canadian In- dian reservation similar to those used, in inducing Lila to pose for him. And when they had brought this admis- sion from the artist, the attorney clinched it with the statement. “Isn't it true, Mr. Marchand, that you became @ squaw man on that res- | ervation?” ‘The artist's only reply was to object to the tone used in refewing to a “squaw man.” Marchand’s visit to the Canadian Teservation, questioning revealed, re- sulted in Indian village produced as exhibits in the New Yor! state museum at Albany. Never Quarreled With Wife The defense attorneys also had as material for their crossexamination today Marchand’s statement that he neyer quarreled with his wife in the 32 years of their married life and that this matrimonial condition existed despite her knowledge of his inti- macies wth other women. They had also—and this loomed large in testimony on the record—his assertion that he at no time loved Lila Jimerson, but had only a feeling of pity and compassion for her be- cause she was tubercular. Marchand, resuming the stand to- day, swore, under cross examination of John V. Maloney, of defense coun- sel, that he had never insisted that Lila act as nurse for his wife during an illness of Mrs. Marchand. Marchand said he had only casually read of the witchcraft practices of Indians. Asked for Lock of Hair “Did Lila ask for a lock of hair from. your, wife's head about April 1028,” asked Maloney. “Yes,” the witness answered. The defense attorney then asked if he had not asked a co-worker at the Buffalo museum of natural science who was an authority on Indian life, if this were a witchcraft rite. He was told it was, Marchand testified. “Bo that two years ago, you knew that Lila was preparing to practice witchcraft on your wife?” asked Ma- Joney. “No,” said Marchand emphatically. Admits ‘Love Lying’ “You went on the Cattaraugus res- ervation with the intention of lying to her about love to mold her to your ¥ Purpose, did you not!” asked ', ind after a moment's pause while be Glanced at the floor and swiftly, ring to Lila’s aunt * pend di and father, “and “No,” said Marchatid. “You/are lying now,” barked Ma- loney. “You know if you said now Eile that you palght find ar ta an dt mig! yourself in haieeeite to Each Other Ing to a newspaper ihterview, the defense attorney asked for an ex- Pression of ‘his attitude toward the consumptive Indian woman, Marchand learied over the edge of the witness stand and Maloney, over the rail near it, and with their faces only inches apart, they entered into a jshouted exchange. “Do you hate Lila?” “No,” roared Marchand. “Do you despise her?” “No,” still louder, yt you hate her because she killed wife?” Maloney flung at Pities Her ‘Without hesitation and in a voice with emotion, Marchand asserted: “I have only pity for her ignorance.” Maloney dropped his voice into a quieter tone, asked a few more ques- tions and then whirled on the witness to say: “Would you lie to save yourself from the electric chair?” Again the witness’ abrupt “No.” “No,” Maloney echoed, “but you would lie to get what you wanted professionally.” IRISH GOVERNMENT DEFEATED BY VOTE Cosgrave and His Ministry Re- sign After Losing on Old- Age Pensions Act e Dublin, Irish Free State, Mar. 28.— |()}—President William T.
