COLLINS GIKI, ADMITS MOTH Kit Hill SIKMITIM. First Story Desperate Kffoil to Shieid Parent. She Says. Hut As sault Story Trie. iMorganton, Jan. 18. A night's meditation over her "confession" yes terday afternoon that she killed Uray Smith in defense of her honor evidently caused Mary Collins to de cide to tel! the whole truth about the affair, and early this morning, having sent for Solicitor Huffman, she admitted to him that the first story was told in a desperate effort to shield her mother, .Sirs. Rosalie Oollina, ,who she now says shot her cousin. 'Mrs. Collins, who is also in jail, has not been allowed to converse with her daughter, and although she knows cf Mary's taking all the blame upon herself in the story she told jiester day, she does not lnow the nirri"iMf the affair has taken today, and still maintains her own innocence. Mary Collin's story today is that when her mother, brother and uncle left for G en Alpine soon after din ner on the day of the tragedy, she and Irene had started to the field to continue fodder pulling. With, "Wait a few minutes," Uray Smith had de tained her while his sister went on to the field. Possibly thinking all the other members of the family were safsly out of the way, after closing and atching the door, he began mak ing improper proposals to her, she says. When she refused to accede to his wishes he tried to force her. She declared that it was then that she cut. him. hav ng succeeded in geltin; hold of his knife. Whether attracted by the- girl's cries ov possibly led back by a mother's intuition, Mrs. Collins returned. Mary says she saw her pass the window, and said, "there comes mania." lBy that time here mother was kicking on the door and Uray released hef to go and unlatch 'he door. She ran away and did not sec tne Kit ing. sue neura me sum, and when she looked back as she was nearing the ft; Id she saw her mother running toward the straw stack where the gun was later found. Accounting for the blood on the shirt, she says that when she cut Urav he crabbed ihe old shirt to staunch the blow of blood, and was holding it to his throat whin her mother came back.
