)lcCoy. erstwhile star of the prize

county jail this morning for another
round in his fight for life in the Su-
perior Court. on a charge of murder.
as a. result of the death of Mrs. Theo
resa Mora. in her apartment here.
The Kid's attorneys were prepar-
ed to defend him from the rush of
prosecution testimony intended to
support the contention that McCoy
killed Mrs. More. took her jewels and
stole away to the home of his sister.
Mrs. Jennie Thomas. and left her the
jewels in a hastily scrawled will.
The defense attorneys were ready
on cross examination of prosecution
witnesses to show that Mrs. Mora
was kiild by her divorced husband,
Albert More. an antique dealer.
Mr. McCoy has not changed his
original story that Mrs. Mora com-
mitted suicide in his presence while
she occupied an apartment with him
under a fictitious name.

Following the announcement thatI

of several changes in the higher

which will interest local men. is
that of Brigadier General Morris B.
Payne to the rank of Major Gen-
eral. and commander of the 43rd

tion of a man well known in local
miltarymrcies, and makes General
Payne the only National Guard of-
ficer in the United States to hold
this rank.
Anson F. Keeler former captain
of Battery C. of this city, was noti-

After the disbanding of the regi-
