Trial reveals Mrs Sheridan’s collapse amid murder case
Mrs Sheridan, heiress and target of a sensational murder case, appears worn from a year of strain as prosecutors prepare for trial. Ada Mendham McCobb was killed September 25, 1925, in her Longworth home, with self defense claimed by Mrs Sheridan who alleges the door was locked and the hammer used in defense. Investigators note vanished jewelry from long trunks, while suspicion grows over the recluse’s past and possible flight from fear.
