Make your selection they're bound nits Suitable to ior Fall Wear revelations in the murder of John B. Kennedy were made today by Mrs. Madalynne Ouencnaln, Kennedy's sweetheart, according District At torney T.

E. Woolwine. The beautiful young woman, di vorced in Chicago that she might bo with Kennedy in California, spent four hours in Woolwine's office. Woolwine indicated that she told all she knew of the midnight murder and gave details of her relations with Kennedy am with Arthur Burch, son of a Chicago minister, on whom unoiclon rests. 'fid Mrs.

Ohehnhatn'a storv will be laid summoned to investigate the murder. Woolwine prepared to go before the jury today. He refused to state whether be would ask indictment of Mrs. Obenchain. The coroner's Jury which' ended its investigation with a vitriolic statement by the father of the slain against "that woman." referring to Madalynne, returned a verdict that the young broker came to his death as the result of a gunshot wound at the hands of an unknown person.

Letters made public today which passed between Kennedy and Mrs. Obenchain, revealed that soon after the marriage of the" Northwestern Imiverslty 'Co Ed to a Chicago attorney, the friendship be tween the woman and Kennedy was renewed. They were lovers previous to her marriage to Obenchain. The letters showed tnat Mm. Obencnam obtained her divorce apparently with the understanding that she would marry Kennedy and that Los Angeles brokers love had cooled Dy the time she was ready to marry him.

She wrote several letters scolding him' for his apparent lack of ardor and one in which she apologized for keeping him so late at night when Kennedy's mother apparently called Madalynne's home on the telephone and asked for her son. Burch was calm and cool today un der the fire which lie has faced since he was taken from a train at Las Vegas and brought back to face the investigation. He had obtained the advice of an attorney and was pre pared to fight the charges to the last. The state apparently found its greatest difficulty in fastening the murder on Burch through lack of information regarding Burch's actual movements on the night of the killing. Although automobile tire mark! found near the scene of the shooting were said to have coincided with the tires on a machine Burch rented from a garage man, no Information can be obtained as to wnere tne gun witn which Kennedy was shot was pur chased or what was done with it after the shooting.

The prosecution was believed to be attempting to induce Madalynne to tell her story in court with promise of immunity. Madalynne was plainly worried today. She was pale as death. She faces her fate stoically. STATE SURVEY OF THE LIVESTOCK IpCSTBY.
