EIGHT PAGES WITNESS TELLS OF MADALYNNE'S LOVE MESSAGES TO SWEETHEART Testimony of Mrs. Bailiff Contains Damaging Assertions Against Man On Trial for Kennedy Murder. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8.—"Deceitfull Degenerate!" This is the terse word picture which Madalynne Obenchain painted in describing John Belton Kennedy, murdered broker, as he appeared in her eyes just before the Beverly Glen ragedy, according to the prosecution's tar witness, Mrs. Mary A. Bailiff. Mrs. Bailiff, confidante of Madalynne, is expected to be recalled to the stand today in the murder trial of Arthur C. Burch to tell more of the tingled and tragic love affair. Already her testimony has left his voc in its wake. One single bit of salvage only has the defense snatched from this witness' damaging assertions: Didn't Send Telegram Mrs. Bailiff said Madalynne told her that she had caused somebody in Chicago to send young Kennedy the telegram, now used in evidence, saying: HUNDRED Blind Patients Saved Hospital Burns JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 8.—Menaced by smoke and flames, 100 blind inmates of St. Joseph's Home were led to safety here today as fire damaged the building.

DIPHTHERIA WAS CAUSE OF DEATH OF BOY SAYS CORONER That the death Monday night of Irvine Clark Schwentker, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Schwentker, South Lemon street, was caused by diptheria was the verdict handed down this morning by the coroner's jury which investigated the case. The investigation followed charges that no medical aid had been sought by the parents of the child during his sickness. It developed at the inquest that two Christian Science practitioners, Mrs. J. T. Burgess of Anaheim and Dr. C. O. Fletcher of Santa Ana had been caring for the child during his illness. Members of the coroner's jury were: Dr. J. W. Truxaw, Dr. Gavin Pelfer, state board of health, and Dr. H. W. Hollingsworth, pathologist.

TWELVE U.HANGEDDECLARE WASHINGTON advises charging soldiers were haunted France was intrigued Tom Watson, Geohe appeared before committee invest numerous hanging The affidavit v H. Taylor, Phila Taylor swore Mrs. Bailliff, confidante of Madalynne, is expected to be recalled to the court today in the murder trial of Arthur C. Burch to tell more of the tingled and tragic love affair. Already her testimony has left his woke in its wake. One single bit of savage only has the defense snatched from this witness' damaging assertions: Didn't Send Telegram Mrs. Bailliff said Madalynne told her that she had caused somebody in Chicago to send young Kennedy the telegram, now used in evidence, saying "Goodbye forever." The object, according to Mrs. Bailliff, was to make Kennedy think Madalynne was in Illinois. But Milton Carlson, handwriting expert, had informed the court that the original of the "Goodbye forever" telegram was written in Madalynne's own chiography. Qualifications Shaken? Carlson's qualifications as an expert are shaken by proof of his error in this instance, the defense will then throw open to question his assertions on all of the thirty-two love telegrams alleged to have been exchanged between Belton and Madalynne. It is upon these missives that District Attorney Woolwine has based his reconstruction of the Beverly Glen murder; that Madalynne, infuriated when Kennedy spurned her, plotted with Arthur C. Burch to accomplish his death.

"This gruesome thing has been preying on my mind. That's why I'm confessing."" St. Jean said his mother, Mrs. Anna Christman, lived at 67 Division street, Amsterdam, New York.
