E|MURDER CROWDS BARRED! jDefense Springs Sensational Plea as Burch Trial Is Started Today {|BY FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov, 1— Attorneys for Arthur ©. Burch this morning exploded a bomb- shell in the opening session of Burch’s trial for the murder of dobn Belton Kennedy, when they introduced and fied affidavits to pave the way for a plea of in- sanity for thelr ctlent. The affidavits, filed by Attor- ney Paul Schenck, created # xen- sation. Burch had hitherto Mat- ly denied all knowledge of the Beverly Glen tragedy, He had asserted that he would establish an alibi to prove that he was no- where near the scene of the mid- night shooting. _ Specuhition was rife as to the ef: fect the unexpected move on the part of the Burch defense would have on the case of Madalynne Obenchain, who is soon to be tried for alleged MURDER FANS ARE DISAPPOINTED ‘The plea admittedly upset AW plans all | Burch would deny connection with Kennedy's death.

The effect on the court room, crowded with prospective jurors, newspaper men and court attaches, was electric. The affidavits were accepted as opening the way for a possible ad- mission that Arthur C. Burch was the mysterious figure who rose from a hedge at Beverly Glen at midnight of August 5 and shot John Belton Kennedy to death with a sawed-off |shotgun. NEVER FELT BETTER, BURCH DECLARES Just before the trial started, Burch said: “I have never feit better phyasical- jly or mentally in my life and T am going in there today with every ounce of my fighting blood aroused. “I will not say whether or not I have placed my faith in God. I will say that I have placed my utmost faith In my attorneys. “My father has arrived from Chicago and he will be a mighty support. My policy from the first has been «a close. mouthed one, It will remain so. IT have nothing to say ag to the out come of the trial.” District Attorney Lee said: “Of course, T expect to see ‘old man alibi’ come into the court room today at Burch’s side, I have seen this old man come into the court room with almost every man iiecused of murder. I hive ever tried. Mr. Alibi hag become almost a reality to me. I feel so sorry for the poor old fellow being dragged round the court rooms of justice.
