NEW YOItK TIMES. FRIDAY. JUNE 14.. 1901. 14 THE KEKHEBI'S FIGHT ENDED His Lawyer Sums Up the Evidence and Pleads for His Life.

Declares that No Motive Wat Proved and that Evidence Pointed to An-, ether as the Murderer, Samuel J. Kennedy' third fight for vindication of the charge of murdering Eme-llne C. Reynolds iru ended by lawyer Robert M. Moore yesterday with an earnest appeal to the Jury for the Staten Island dentist's acquittal. Mr.

Moore reviewed at length the evidence adduced by the proses cution against Kennedy; tried to show the State bad proved no motive for the crime, and had absolutely failed to prdve bint guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. "Gentlemen of the Jury," said he, "the State endeavors to show you by circumstances, rather than by direct evidence, that Samuel J. Kennedy killed Emeline Reynolds. In the Grand Hole three years ago. If the prosecution has failed, to do this, It Is necessary for you to go no then reviewed thelden-tliication testimony of tne urarnl Hotel witnesses, and declared It Impossible for Dr.

Kennedy to have been in Staten Island at the lime a dozen witnesses swore they saw him If the testimony of these employes was true. He declared it a physical tm possibility for the defendant to have carried the lead pipe bludgeon In the manner that the prosecution claims he did. Referring to the S13.0UO check, Mr. Moore said: "I have labored long to solve the mystery of that check, and It Is a mystery to me still. The prosecution threw some light on it when they read the testimony of Clark, the dead hat salesman.

Clark swore that a man bought of him a straw hat and. a golf cap In a store opposite the Grand Hotel, on the day of the murder. Clark swore thls man said his name was Kennedy. Would any man desiring to disguise his features, as the prosecution claims was the purpose of Kennedy lh purchasing this straw hat, deliberately go across the street from the place where he contemplated -murder, amd there make known his identity? "If Kennedy did not commit this crime, you will say, who did do ill I say I don'" know, but 1 refer yon to the testimony of Mrs. Annie Melville.

She says that a man resembling Kennedy In build and features, but with a darker mustache, on the day of the murder called at her place of business and inquired about Kennedy's habits. Why was this man making Inquiries? It may be Possible that this person who Impersonated Kennedy in the hat store, knowing Kennedy', habits, went into his office and forced his signature from memory on a check In Kennedy's own check book. This he may have done In order that not only might Kennedy be connected with the crime by means of Clark's" statement, but that on the body of the dead girl the forced check might bear silent testimony against this innocent man. If Kennedy killed Emeline Reynolds, why did he kill her? Dr. Kennedy had no motive for this murder, and -none has been established by the prosecution.

The State says he did It to get the KUWO check back. If so why did he give it to her? The police and the District Attorney have been unable to show Kennedy was in the least socially Intimate with the dead girl. If the check was the motive, the lead-pipe bludgeon la a silent witness in his favor. The check is dated Aug. 15.

IR'iR. the day of the If Kennedy gave her the check he gave it to her on this day. If that be so. then he iade the bludgeon to kill her before he had a motive for killing her. The check was found In the dead girl's corsage after death with some bills and loose change.

The person who placed those bills and that check there was no woman. A man and. a bungler did It. No woman was ever known to carry Change with bills In her waist when she had her pocketbook with her." Mr. Moore here brought in the name of Maurice Mendhnm.

the broker who paid Timeline Reynolds's bills at the Fifty-eighth Street house. Mr. Mendham says." shouted the lawyer. that the dead girl carried a.bag of Jewels huhltiiallv- hmr found on her body. Did she vary from her usual habit on the night of the murder? were nose jewels taken from the dead body by some one who knew where they were carried The "bag was not found In the flat until a week later, though search was made by detectives.

Was it deemed safer to return them to the flat after the lot had rn meshed my client-? How did the ewels et off the dead body of, 'the girl and back to the flat?" haven't yet created a reasonable in your let us go further. If Jennedy killed Emeline Reynolds to get eneck back, why was her clothing undisturbed and no apparent search of her person made for Ar.

He ordered Geraud out of the house, and Geraud refused to wytng he had a perfect right there and Koehler none.

Despondency over the failure of a perpetual motor on which he had worked for thirty years Is believed to have Induced William Herford.

a carpenter, seventy-one years old. to commit suicide in his shop, at 2C3 Ellery Street. Brooklyn, last evening. He lived at 10 Sumner Avenue, but spent most his time in his shop, working over his machine when he had no business on hand. The machine was a curious-looking affair.

Its salient features being two wooden cones Inclined at an angle of about 43 degrees to each other; the point of one resting upon the base of the other. It was planned to work with self-generated pneumatic power. Herford's wife and six children are dead, and one of his sons, a policeman, also committed suicide. The old man of late had expressed a fear that he would have to go to the alms-he use or the hospital, -yet he Tiad many friends One of thes called on him and found him apparently in good spirits. He chatted for a while and then dismissed the visitor, saving that he had some work to do in the rear room.

It happened that but a few minutes later a party of his friends came in. They found the door unlocked and. walking into the back room, discovered the body with a lighted pipe close by. Herford had stretched himself on his bench with a plank for a pillow, lit- his pine, and shot himself through the right temple with a heavy revolver as he smoked.
