Dr. Wynekoop
Waits on Death
_____
Insists She's Dying, But
Protests Delay of
Murder Trial.
Chicago, Jan. 14 (AP).--Dr. Alice Wynekoop today said she believed she was dying.
Victim last night of a severe heart attack--the fourth she has suffered since she was confined to the jail infirmary after her arrest on charges of slaying her daughter-in-law, Rheta, 23--the 62-year-old physician rallied to medical treatment.
Despite her physical condition, she enjoined Dr. Francis McNamara, jail physician, against attempting to obtain a postponement of the trial.
"There must be no postponement of the trial," she said. "I shall be able to go through it. I know that I am dying, but you shall not stop the trial."
Meanwhile preparations for re-opening the trial tomorrow were continued. Before convening of court, prosecution and defense attorneys will confer with Dr. McNamara to determine if Dr. Wynekoop is able to appear.
