Testimony in Collins murder trial reveals Miss Babcock's damning account

Frances Babcock testified in Lawrence court about John Collins and his altered engagement claims, detailing threats, the forged letters and telegrams, and her observations of Collins and family dynamics as the case builds toward the murder verdict. The letter from Collins and the Topeka trip notes intensified the jury’s suspicion, while Grace Collins struggled with handwriting identifications under cross examination.
