MRS. KENNEDY GUILTY.

Kansas Citv Woman Given Ten Years in Prison for Vnrder. Following the conviction at Kansas City of Mrs. Lulu Prince Kennedy of the murder of her husband, and the imposi-

tion in her case of a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary, the State’s Attorney announced that he would at once force her father and two brothers to trial on charge of complicity in the killing.

The jury took six ballots. The first stood ten to two for conviction. They stood that way until the last ballot, when all voted for conviction. Mrs. Kennedy remained perfectly culm while the sentence was read. She took her conviction with the stoicism which has been a feature of the-,trial. She was led back to her old cell without loss of time. Lulu Prince Kennedy had been Philip Kennedy’s wife for five weeks when she called him from his office on Jan. 10 and fired six shots at him with a revolver. Four bullets entered his body. He died on the spot. She was immediately ar-rested./--Her marriage with Kennedy had been forced on the man by her father and two brothers. It took place Dec. 4. Kennedy never lived with his wife, and a week before the shooting he filed suit to have the marriage annulled.

MRS. LULU KENNEDY.
