LETTERS LEAD TO PLOT OF MURDER LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15.—Madalynne Conner Obenchain faced today one of the most trying days of her trial on the charge of being implicated in the murder of J. Belton Kennedy in a love tangle, according to prosecution attorneys, who planned to continue reading scores of love letters written by her to the slain broker. After completing the introduction in evidence of love notes written in the early days of the tragic romance, the state today reached the letters in which Mrs. Obenchain was urging Kennedy to meet and to marry her. By these notes, the district attorney contends, is being built up the foundation of the charge that Mrs. Obenchain plotted the murder after being placed in the position of "a woman scorned." The letters today showed Mrs. Obenchain leaving the east, visiting Canadian resorts and then going to San Francisco, from where, she wrote to Kennedy in Los Angeles, urging him to meet her there. In one letter, the attractive defendant insisted she would board a boat for Honolulu, if Kennedy did not join her by a certain date. And not Madalynne alone, but at least two others, will be visibly affected by these echoes from the past—the father of the dead youth and Ralph R. Obenchain, who consented to a divorce in order that his wife might marry the one for whom her heart longed. LIFE THREATENED, MRS.
