John Keel Gets That Sentence for
Killing David Crandalli"Com-
pletion of the Evidence,
Ransom Mobley"I had conversation
with Butler and Warren about two
hours atter killing. I. asked Warren if
he believed Keel killed Crandall on
purpose, he said nu. Warren said
~Butler and Keel wrestled, Keel first
threw Butler and then Butler threw
Keel. They then got to fighting:
When Keel ran to Crandall he got gun
by butt and Crandall held to muzzle. In.
the scuffle the gun fired and Crandall
was killed. I donTt know just how it
happened and donTt believe anybody
else does.� Witness said he did not
hear Butles say anything about it, I
heard WarrenTs testimony before Coro-
ner, it was different from what he told
me.
Cross examined" Warren and my-
selt Lad a difficulty some years ago. I
was once tried tor having a difficulty
with Mr. Holliday. I have no recollec-
of conversation with Mr. Sheppard in
presence of J. A. Crandall and donTt
remember,telling Sheppard that Keel had
had me summoned as a witness for him
but I didnTt know what for. I did not
carry a pistol for Keel or say I would
help lynch him.
J. R. Mobley"I did not see the dif-
ficulty. Iwasat Ely PowellTs, and
going up the road met the corpse near
Bil'y Rollins,
Wle. Butler said oKeel proposed to
wrestle with me, tvid him I did not
want to wrestle but would do so on his
promise not te get mad.� Butler said
he threw Keel two or three times, that
Keel got mad and got up and cut at
bim and shot at him twice with his gun,
Said Keel would have killed him but
Warren knock.d gun off. Keel then
ock Cra ndallTs gun and shot Crandall.
That evening lace Butler and Warren
both toid me thev did not belieye Keel
killed Crandali intentionally. I donTt
kuow ButlerTs character.
Cross-exumined"Mr. Rollins and
myself went in jail to see Keel soon
after he was placed in jail, There has
been no trouble between me and Jim
Crandall ; have not talked with Wynne
about the case.
N. L. Gray"i am Constable of Car-
olina township. Was not present at
killing. I had warrant for Keel: and
going along the road about 2 oTclock
met Butler who got up and rode with
me. Butler told me he did not believe
Keel killed Crandall intentionally, that
he thought Keel was trying to kilt him.
Butler also told m2 that Keel went to
Crandall crying afier the shooting ana
raised Crandall up, Crandall said oyou
nave killed me,TT Kez! answered oI did
Butter said oKeel
asked me it I was going io swear against
him, I said yes G-d d"n you | am,
and Keel then took his knife and cut at
me.� #utler showed me his suspender
where it was cut. Stanley Warren told
me when I summoned him that he be-
lieved the killing was accidental and if
put on his oath he would say it was.
I asked about the trou-}
1 heard Stanley Warren tell Joe Roe-
buck that only one gun fired, Roebuck |
| replied that Butler said two guns fired
and that their eveidence was too far
apart.

in jail.

oButtons, the downtown saloon
kéepers pet goat, is in deep dis-
grace. No longer does he roam
tha heighborhood at will, but Is
co fined within the narrow bounds
of the yard. Among other privi-
leges, Buttons hed enjoyed the
~freedom of the bar room and
could enter and depart as he
pleased. On Saturday two pat-
rons of the place dropped in to
see the proprietor and incidentally
to havea quiet osmile.� Naturally
enough, in the course of conver-
sation, that allabsorbing topie,the
recent vreat fight, was discussed.
While this was in progress Buat-
tons quietly entered the saloon.
There was a difference of opinion
among the trio as to the manner
in which the knock-out blow was
deliveren. Finally one of the
patrons volunteered to illustrate
the affair with the assistance of
his friend. Just as he assumed a
pugilistic attitude, Buttons, who
had appaien'ly been much inter-
ested in the conversation. con-
cluded that he could show just
hcw the thihg occurred. Likea

probably intending te deliver~the
famous heart blow on the nearest
patron, The blow Janded not
axacily onthe heart, but it was a
kndck-oat blow ali the same.

whenT he shot; Butler ~ stowed-me a:

the gun and knocked it up. Butler
said Keel then threw down his gun and
took CranaallTs gun and stepping back
shot Crandall. Builer said he ~caught
Crandall and laid him down. Keel
asked, oRube are you going to swear
against me?� Butler replied oI am go-

another gun and snapped at Butler but

Said he examined CrandallTs gun, one
barrel was empty.
Stanley Ayers"Have known J. 5,
Wynne all his life, his character is
good. a
Mrs. John Keel remember the
morning when David Crandall was
killed. The crowd came to our house
while I was cookingT breakfast. John
invited the boys in, said they had been
to ~breakfast. Tney all drank some
there. John did not carry knife with him
hunting as I hadit with me. J heard
one gun fire about 10:30 oTclock, John
got home about 11 and brought bis gun,
was crying when he came in and was
drunk,
At the close of Mrs. KeelTs testimony
the defense rested the case and the
State resumed examination ot wit-|
nesses.
S.H. Taylor"I know the general
character of Reuben Butler, it is good.
M. R. Page"Character of Butler
has always been good.
John Gurganns"I am related to
CrandallTs by marriage. On 28th of
December Stanley Warren,and myself
met Wynne on road, I told him Butler
said he had his gun. Wynne denied
it and I told him he ought to go see
Butler. I usked him to tell the cir-
cumstances of the killing. He said all
were going hunting. Keel proposed to
wrestle with Crandall and the latier
replied he was not able. Then Keel
proposed to wrestle with Butler and
Butler refused, he ran into Butler and
they fell; they wrestled again. The
third time Butler threw him and Keel
got up and shot at him and drew his
knife at him and struck him across
back with gun; then he went to «Cran.
dall, snatched gun out of his hand and
stepped back and shot him. There
were no threats or hard words at
Wynne to get him to make . statement.
Ransom Mobiey is my uncle, his rep-
utation in nerghborhood is bad.
Gray coming up at time, we were
nearly through. I told Butler
statement did not correspond
ButierTs, but did not tell him they
must get together. Warren suid he
did not see Keel shoot Butler but
heard gun fire and turned arourd in
time to see Keel strike him across
back with gua. ButlerTs character is
geod,
Stanly Warren
Roebuck that if I was vut on the stand
I would have to swear that Keel kilied
Crandall accidentally. Never made
such statement to Mobley or any one,
nor did I say to Gray it more than one
shot was fired I never heard it.

before Christmas I heard Keel say

_ PAPER PHOTO FRAMES. -
| How Clever FingersTMay Construct These
cae Decor ative Trifles.
The pretty crinkled paper so much
in-vogne and which has been so lav-
~lishly used for lamp shades is the
best of material for photograph |
frames, which, when they are com-
plete, are not only effective, but
have nothing tawdry or cheap look-
ing about them, though only made
of cardboard and paper. The stock
in trade must include crinkled paper
in different shades. Small rolls,
called the ~~butterfly,TT may be
bought for a penny each. These are
sufficient for the flowers, while the
large rolls, which are much broader
and are used for covering the
frames, cost 4 1-2d. each, a glue pot
and glue, plenty of cardboard"old
boxes come in very useful"some
glasses cut by the local glazier, 6
inches by 41-2 inches for cabinet
sized photograph, and lastly .a
few yards:of different colored baby
ribbon are all the materials that
are necessary; hence for a few shil-
lings a large quantity of these artis-
tic frames may be made.
. Take two pieces of cardboard and
cut them the size you want the
frame to be, say 10 apches by 12
inches. These will maxe the front
and back of the frame. The front
must have a small oblong part cut
out a little smaller than the size of
the photograph, so that.the name of
the photographer, etc., shall not
show.
the frame and also about two inches
from the bottom.
board with white or dark green
crinkled paper or any other color.
The paper should be cut larger than
the cardboard. and. the overlapping
portion glued to the reverse side, so
that the glue will not shew. After
neatly cutting the paper at the cor-
ners in the oblong part where the
; photograph has te come glue it
carefully at the back, and then it
will be ready for the glass, which
must also be glued on-at each cor-
ner. While the front is drying the
| back must be covered in the same
manner and a naizvow piece of card-
board cut, s2y 11-2 inches broad,
and also covered. ~This piece must
be bent back a little, about two
inches from the top,:and fixed on
the back with two paper fasteners
to form the stand. The front and
back are then ready to glue together.
In doing so be careful.to glue them
at the side and top only, as the lower
and narrower part at the bottom
must be left open to slip the photo-
graph in.
Now we come. to the flowers.
Those made in three shades of helio-
trope crmkled paper have the effect
of violets, those in blue of cornflow-
ers, and other tints can be made to
suggest various biooms. Cut outa
great many small rounds of paper,
abovt.1 1-2 inches in. diametez. and

| snip them all around, Then, after
smoothing them out, take hold of |
each one in the middle, and with a
dexterous twirl of the thumb and
first finger the flower is made. Be
careful not to crush the paper, or
the flowers will look tossed. To
make the stalks, which are wonder-
fully natural looking, cut several
rather narrow strips of dark green
paper the wrong way of thecrinkle,
as they twist better, about 6 or 8
inches long, cut the top part a little
wider, snip it three times to make
three points, and it will form. the
calyx. Take hold of it with the left
hand first finger and thumb and be-
gin to twist it from the other end
with the right hand first finger and
thumb until it is within half an
inch from the top or snipped part.
Then put the merest spot of glue on
the stem of each flower and twist it
into each calyx,
It is pretty to tie them together
in. the bunches with wee bows of
ribbon, perhaps a big ene on the top
or wide part of the frame, with
some of the flowers banging well
down the side, and a small bunch at
the corner ct the bottom part. To
keep them in place use glue. The
flowers require great nicety of touch,
as the tiniest drop cf glueon them
