KANSAS CITY, June 15.—The jury in the Kennedy murder case this morning brought in a verdict of gullty of murder in the sec- ond degree and fixing Mrs. Kennedy's pun- ishment at ten years in the penitentiary. Judge Wofford entered the court room at 9:45 and fmmediately sent for the prisoner. Mrs. Kennedy was brought in a few min- utes later, accompanled by her father and her married sister, Mrs. Leon. A moment later the jury filed into the room. When the judge atked the foreman of the jury if |a verdict bad been reached he handed a slip of paper to the clerk. Mrs, Kennedy heard its contents read calmly, but a mo- ment later covered her eyes with her arms and cried aloud. The jury took six ballots. The first stood ten to two for conviction They remained that way until the last bal- lot. The defense gave notice of appe When the jurymen left their hotel this | morning they carried thelr personal belong- |ings, making it evident that they had reached a verdict and that they were pre- paring to go to their homes. The killing ot Kennedy occurred at 5:40 o'clock in the evening of January 10 last in the New Ridge bullding In the center of the business district. Kennedy, who was con- tracting agent of the Merchants' Dispatch Transportation company, was sitting at his | desk in his office when called to the door by Dr. Cross, the woman's physician. Mrs. Kennedy followed the physiclan closely, asked her husband if he Intended to live with her and, recelving & negative answer, | began shooting. She fired five shots, all of | which took effect and any one of which | would have proven fatal. Kennedy died al- | most instantly, the only words escaping his | 1ips belng “It wasn't her gun." Before | | being taken away by the police the woman | kicked the prostrate man in the face, re- marking, “You will never seduce another girl" Thomas Kennedy, a brother of the | man, tried to wrest the revolver from Mrs Kennedy's hand, when he was struck down by her brother, Will Prince. The couple were married in the county court on Febru- ary 4 and two days betore he was killed Kennedy brought suit to have the marriage set aside, alleging duress and charging W C. Prince, the girl's fatber, and Wil Prince with forcing him to marry her at the point of & revolver. The three Princes are now awaiting trial on & charge of conspiring to kill Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy Is 20 years old and Kennedy was 28. The prisoner's father showed no more emotion than if the verdict had been so many words pertaining to a matter of small importance to the family. This " case disposed of, Judge Wofford asked If both sides were ready for the trial of C. W. Prince, and Bert and Will Prince, father and brothers respectively of Mrs. Kennedy, on the charge of conspiracy to kill Kennedy. The state was ready, but the defense asked postponement till Mon- day. Judge Wofford sald he wished to call in another judge to sit In the case. “I am not satisfied,” sald he, “that Bert Prince and the old man were at the Ridge building at the time of the killing.” This seemed to interest the father more than the verdiet Just rendered, and the prisoner raised her head and listened intently to the talk about ber relatives. When Mrs. Kennedy was led back to her cell she had entirely recovered her composure, and had resumed the cool, Indifferent manner than has so puzzled the Jail officlals during her five months in jall.
