Geter 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 don’t know just how it happened and don’t believe anybody else does.” Witness said he did not hear Butles say anything about it, I heard Warren’s 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 don’t remember,telling Sheppard that Keel had had me summoned as a witness for him but I didn’t 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 Powell’s, and going up the road met the corpse near Bil'y Rollins, Wle. Butler said “Keel 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 ndall’s gun and shot Crandall. That evening lace Butler and Warren both toid me thev did not belieye Keel killed Crandali intentionally. I don’t kuow Butler’s 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 o’clock 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 “you nave killed me,’’ Kez! answered “I did Butter said “Keel 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.

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 “smile.” 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.

Butler said Keel then threw down his gun and took Cranaall’s gun and stepping back shot Crandall. Builer said he ‘caught Crandall and laid him down. Keel asked, “Rube are you going to swear against me?” Butler replied “I am go- ing to tell the truth.” Keel picked up another gun and snapped at Butler but jt would not fire. Keel left. Witness Said he examined Crandall’s 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 cooking’ 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 o’clock, John got home about 11 and brought bis gun, was crying when he came in and was drunk, At the close of Mrs. Keel’s 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 Crandall’s 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 Butier’s, 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. Butler’s 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. George Moore—Ab:ut two weeks before Christmas I heard Keel say “'There’s one d—n rascal I want to set tor tonight with some bricks,” said it was David Crandall. ae W. B. Roebuck—Have known Rue- ben Butler many years, general charac- ter good, The State here closed its evidence and the defence introduced turther testimony, N. L.

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,’’ 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 Now, cover the} Cut it a little to one side of | | 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.
