TESTIMONY WAS IN
DIRECT CONFLICT
COMMONWEALTH'S WITNESSES
CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER.
Prosecution in the Keller Murder
Case Encounters n Surprise Party.
Belief That Some of the Witnesses
Havo Been Made to See Things
Differently from the Manner in
Which They at First Viewed
Them Some Say Positively That
Meyer Offered no Violence.
Direct conflict of te.stliminy on the
immt Important point In the cime by
tho commonwealth's own vltiics3CH was
tlio leatnrc of the second day nf the
Keller mutdor tilnl.
During the mornlnp rcbhIoh every
oyo witness of the tiagedy stated posl
tlely that no blows were struck, and
that lleyer'H Roneinl conduct wns not
of a menacing character. In the nftei
noon, however, It was Just nbout the
opposite. Almost every witness called
after dinner admitted on croFH-oxam-luntlon
that Meyer was seen to assault
Keller, and several of them went so
far as to say that Keller, befoie Hi lug,
pushed Meyer away from him several
tlmei and also made motions as If
warding off a blow.
Dlstilct Attorney Jones was sorely
disappointed and not a little chagrined
at this outcome and Intimated luoadly
several times by questions and cum
meats that he wns of the opinion that
Ills wltiu'shes had been made to see
tiling In u different light fiom that
In which they viewed them at tho time
when their statements weie taken In
the propaiatlon of the commonwealth's
chip.
Judge Udwaids on one occasion Indi
cated he was nlso inclined to this be
lief, going so for as to cnutlon a wit
ness against withholding nny part of
ber testimony, and nlterwards criticis
ing her conduct on the stnnd.
The commonwealth's story of the
killing as outlined by District Attor
ney Jones In his opening and detailed
by the wltnes-ses Is substantially as
follows: Keller and Meyer were -voting
men of about the same ape. tvvcntv
four. lived In adjacent houses In Little
i:imlnnd, and up to a shoit time pie
Ious to the tiagedy were friends, and
It might be said companions. Hellg
lotis differences .spuing up between
them, and what was, at (list, coolness
finally giew Into hatred.
HOArtDlHi WITH 11KNDKR.
Meer boaided with '. A. llender
and was engaged to many his daugh
ter, I'hllopenn. The Mender property
is just within the city line. Keller,
with his wife, weie co-tenants with a
Davis family of a houxe across the
line In Dunmoie boiough. and xepniat
ed fiom the Mender house by an uneii
ilosed field on which a chapel stands.
Mejerand his prospective father-ln-law
Jointly owned a lot of fancy pljr
eons. On the morning of the .Sunday
on which the tragedy occ lined four or
the of the pigeons Hew acioss to the
Keller piemises and while pecking1 ut
the garden truck weie shot and killed
by Keller. When Mender beard of this
he went over to Keller and nsked him
to give over the dead pigeons. Keller,
In surly tones, reused.
At noon, when Mecr came home to
dinner he learned of the occurrence of
the nioining, and, without waiting to
puitake of dinner, went nctovs lots to
Keller's, vowing he would get the pig
eons. Miss Mendei followed him. Them
was an exchange of angiy words, and,
nicoidlng to .tlss Mender's testimony.
Keller went Into the house, te-appeareil
a moment later at an upstahs win
dow and, thrusting out a double-bar-leled
gun, said- "You get out of thete
now, or I'll chop both of you."
The defense, on cross-examination,
at this Juncttne ttied to bilng out th.it
Keller letieated into the house to get
away fiom Meyer, and that the only
thing did or s.ild at the window was
to tell Meyer In- lould have the pigeons
If he would come by way of the gate to
get them It was also paitly elicited
that Ofllcer Long, of Diinnioie. hap
pened that wav. and heating the al
teuation compelled Meyer to retain to
bis boarding house tinder pain of su
rest. STAMTKD TOWAIIP.S Dl'XMOKi:.
Shoitly after ' o'clock Keller left his
house and Matted tovvimlB Dunmute.
Mejer followed a moment later anil
caught up with Keller on the Hiie and
Wyoming Vulley lalliond. They fil
tered Into a ciuanel at once, and walk
ing down the tiack, Kellei slltilul.v in
the lead, kept up an eNchange of loud
and angry words. Keller, all the wit
nesses kiv, kept In advance of llt-yei
and continued walking, as If not wish
ing to have Meyer come able.ist of
him. The defense tiled to make It ap
pear that he was tivlng to get awuy.
and that Meyer pet stated In tagging
after him. but the witnesses all denied
that the pair weie walking tapidly
Wliat immediately pieceded the
shooting no one but Keller (.in tell,
and his story Is yet to come. John M.
Schuler, who heaid the iuaticllng and
stood off about thtee bundled feet talk
ing to a Mr. Koehler, and watching
tho two men, swore positively that
Meyer did not offer to strike a blow,
Alonzo Pike, aged 11 yeais, Joe Piice,
nged 1), and Geoige Haus, aged It, who
saw the affair fiom a distanco of less
than two bundled feet, bay there were
no blows exchanged. They oveiheaul
Clio of the pair teiuaiU: "I don't have
to use a pistol on you, 1 can fight you
fulr-ftat." The Hulls boy said positive
ly that It was Meyer who uttcied this
exclamation.
Shoitly after this the shooting took
place. Every witness, except one, was
ceitaln that Keller filed one shot.
paused for a moment ami then fired
other shots In rapid succession. Neatly
all the witnesses said four shots were
f'ed, and tlioso who had counted only
three were not positive but that they
night bo mistaken.
STAGGERED UACKWAIU).
At tho first shot Mejer btaggcred
backward While he was reeling the
tluee other shots were fired. He fell
at tlio fourth shot and Keller then
teased f.r'ng. After falling, his body
lolled down the lailroad embankment
as far as a slanting path, where II
resit or1 on Us side, the head about ten
Inches higher than the feet. Death was
almost instantaneous.
Iliu testimony uf Schuler and tho
thteo boys was corroborated by three
other eye witnesses, Catheilno una
Cnrolino Pilger and Mie. Ycttn
Kiutsch. The former two were on tholr
way to Nay Aug Pat I? and wero In
close proximity to tho men when tho
shooting occurred. They watched them
going down the track and wero with
in a couple of hundred fcot of them
when tho shots were fired. They saw
no blows struck or anything savoring
of tin astuult on Meyer's part. Mrs.
KrotBch was standing on a porch neitr
by and saw the whole proceeding, but
Is posltlvu no violence was ofteted'by
Meyer.

against the splnnl column. Three of
tho bullets were found nnd weie pio
dltced by the coionrr.
On cross-cxainlnatlon the coroner
slid In answer to Mr. Scrngg's ques
tion thru It was Impossible to tell from
tho wounds tho order In which the
shots weie llrcd.
THE FIRST WITNESS.
P.ivtnn Swingle was the fhst witness
to say that Meyer had assaulted Kel
ler. He Is a resident of the neighbor
hood nnd snw the whole nffnlr from
beginning to end. Tne- deceased fol
lowed Keller nnd lan up tho railroad
embankment to head him off, he tnlil.
The two walked along for about olio
hundred feet talking loud and In an
gry touts. Keller appeared to be mak
ing an effort to keep nwny from Meyer
and several limes when he crossed
from one side of the track to the other
Meyer followed him. The deceased, ho
alleged, made a pass nt Keller and Kel
ler then llrMl. Meyer was undeterred
by this and made nn effort to get at
Keller. The lattet then fuvd threo
more shots.
Officer t'lcd Meaver, who arrested
Keller, testllP'd that he met tho de
fendant coming up Potter sticet In
company with his father. On the np
pioach of the olllccr Keller unloosed a
belt from about his waist which sup
ported tho holster containing his re
volver, nnd handing it to the ofllcer
gave himself up saying he wanted pro
tection. The witness Inspected the
clothing of the deceased but found no
weapons.
Ofllcer Ciecigo DIeikes. who was giv
en possession of the revolver, testllled
to Inning received It fiom Ofl'cer
P.oaver nnd of having tinned It over
to the district attorney. The district
attorney thin offeieil the icvolvcr in
evidence. It is n five-chamber, .1S
callbre weapon, with u pearl handle
When taken from Keller all live of Its
chambers woo loaded.
Oenaro Gennello and his cocsln. Mis.
Gennello, saw the shooting fiom the
por b of their teMdenee. They did not
see any blows struck.
STAI.MERG'S STORY.
Milton Stalbeig, who lives neat by,
heaid the shots and looked In the dl
U'ctlon of the -shooting in time to siv
Meff fall. He tan up to the -ceno
and heaid Keller admit that be did the
d.eil. Th" dlstilct attorney Hied to
elicit from him that he had heaid Kel
ler say "I don t cue If the
IS dead." but Mr. Stalbeig denied
having heaid any .nih lemark
Mr. Jones evinied conMderabl' dis
appointment and aftet futile efforts to
bilng out that some such lematk bad
been made by Keller In Stalbetg's hear
ing, nsKed the witness If it wasn't a,
fact that somebody bad been talking
to him nbout the late lecently. Mr.
Serngg objected to the piosecutlou at
tempting to discredit lt- own witness
and a long dlscu-'slon ensued, Mr.
Jones loutending that this v as the
only wuy to ileal with adveise witness
es, and Mr. Scmgg contending that the
question was impioptr fut the reason
noted above.
Mr. Jones allowed the witness to
come clown and called Mis. Stalbeig,
bis wife. She saw Mr. Slim
ier, sin- said, st.ut 1o go down
t' where Me.vei's body lay and
lizard Keller t.y "Don't you go
down there to him oi you'll get the
same dose." She ilenled having heaul
Keller smy anything else.
Mr. Jones was not satlsliel with her
testimony and htiove to bilng out that
she had heard Keller say later on to
the ciowd that ho didn't caie if the
was dead, as it Is alleg
ed she told the county detective when
he was woiklng up the case. After
some hesitancy and much blushing she
answeifd Ustllv "No, sir, I heaid
nothing else."
Ji'DUE CAPTIONED HER.
While she wai hesitating Judge Ed
wards cautioned her u tell all she
knew saving "witnesses aie sworn to
tell the Whole until" .Mm. Stolberg
persisted that she bad heaid nothing
else. Mr. Joi'es made an ofler to show
that vbe had told the county detective
of other rental ks made bv Keller, but
Judge Edwards mid he could not al
low It. He leniaiked to the attorneys
that he himself did not like the manner
cf the witness. H is only f ilr to stale
that Mis. Stolbeig'r nervousness could
hive resulted fiom her lenllzatlon of
the fact that the veinelty of her evi
dence was questioned.
A. Stelntnetz saw Mevei hasten up
the embankment to head oft Keller.
He swore Keller pushed Meyer nwny
from him and that ho saw Keller's aim
go up as If to waul olf a blow, Just
lU'i'vioite to the rhootlng.
Charles dayman ilo saw all this
and further averred that after tho lirst
.hot Meyer kept on going towauls Kel
ler. Lemuel Jones swoie he haw the de
ceased give Keller a push just before
the lirst shot was fired and after the
shot Meyer again went at Keller. Ho
also said that Keller acted as if try
ing to elude Meyer and tbut several
times ho walked to the opposite side
of th railioad onlv to be followed by
Meyer. This closed the testimony for
the day.
