When Mrs. Martin dec! that the man she had seen pi: his way past her apartment window, did not resemble Kid McCoy, accused of slaying Mrs. Mors, Mors, through his attorney demanded that he be brought face to face with Mrs. Martin. “I am convinced that the man Mrs. Martin raw feeling his way alongside the apartment was Kid McCoy,” Captain Herman Cline said today, “If there was another man there, which I doubt, it may have been some friend of McCoy, perhaps some one he knew in the motion picture business and who would not come forth and revea) his identity, fearing that he might lose his oon- tract or position.’* After a two hour session with three alienists who examined him for his sanity at the request of District Attorney Asa Keyes, Kid MvCoy said today yell that wasn’t so ba they were all right.” The allenist, are to present their report to Keyes in time for the grand jury hearing Tuesday. They are withholding their findings until that time. “One pf them asked if I ever had been hit exceptionally hard upon the head,” MeCoy said after the exami: nation. “That gaye mo a big laugh. Was T hit hard? Well I boxed fel- lows like Joe Choynski, Jim Corbett, Tommy Ryan and a hundred others who were real hitters, I just an- swered that question by telling about some of these battles,” LOS ANGELES, Callf., Aug. 16, (United = Press.)}—Norman _ Selby, internationally known as “Kid Mc- Coy,” former pugilist, movie actor, private detective, “good fellow,” and nine times married, does not think he is getting a “square deal". Today, while undergoing an ex: amination by three alienists om- ployed by the state to test his sanity, McCoy, with tears in his eyes, ex- claimed, “I'm not getting a fair shake.. Everybody is trying to bull me.” MoeCoy is at the central Police sta- tion held on suspicion of murder in connection with the death last Wednesday of. Mrs. Theresa Mors, recently, divorced wife of Albert A, Mors, miliionair metal manufac- turet dnd ‘antique dealer. He is also charged with highway robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder, and Mrs. Sam G. Ross when McCoy in- vaded the fashionable antisue shop owned by Mr,“and Mrs. Mors. THe shooting in the antique shop occurred several hours after McCoy is alleged to have shot and killed Mrs, Mors in the apartment they had. occupied under the name of Mr. and Mrs. N, Shields. District Attorney Asa Keys is confident that the grand jury will formally indict McCoy for her, mur- der when it meets next Tuesday. McCoy stoutly maintains Mrs. Mors committed suicide. Close friends of the accused ex- boxer say McCoy had been acting queerly for several weeks, and had consulted among themselves the ad- visability of swearing out a sanity warrant for him some weeks before the tragedy occurred. It if admitted by the defense law- yers that they will advance a plea of insanity if McCoy is brough to trial on a murder charge. In order to offset the testimony of the de- fense alienists, District Attorney Keys today retained three well known doctors and gave them or- @ers to put McCoy through 2 rigar- ous mental and physical examina- tion. The alienists immediately went to the city jail and began their examination of McCoy by asking him to rolate the story of his life. They questioned him closely about his ring career and various ro- mances. It was during this exami- nation that tears welled up in Mc- Coy’s eyes and he remarked that he was not getting a “square deal.” Later, with McCoy stripped to the waist, the doctors put him through @ physical examination. Mr. and Mrs, Schapp and Ross, the three physicians wounded by McCoy in the antique shop holdup, are steadily recovering and probably will be remeved from the Clara Barton hospital to thelr homes early next week, Dr. R. B, Skell, who has been attending them, said today.
