THE KELLY CASE. rbo Jury in the Forgery Case stands 9 to 3 in Favor of Con viction. The Perjury Case Postponed till December Term. Whether from its goodness or general interest to the public of Butler county, the Kelly case was saved for the last. The other oases on the Quarter Ssssions docket for September term were not disposed of until towards noon of last Saturday, and then while Mike Scanlon was waiting for some good friend to come into Court am. bail him in the sum of SOOO. the case of the Commonwealth against Jehn C. Kelly for forgery was called; and the Clerk began calling a jury. Three or four jurors had been called and bad taken their seats in the box when Mr. Robinson came in and asked that the pros ecution have the right to stand aside jurors as called,-a right which the law gives the j Commonwealth in important cases—and the Court told the gentlemen already in in the box to leave it—and the Clerk be gan anew. Thompson filed a written ob jection and an exception was noted. Twen ty seven names were called; ten were stood aside and from the other seventeen the following jury was selected: —Thomas Mc- Farland, A. M. Donaldson,W. J. Douglass, R. M. Anderson, James Patterson, G. W. Worthington, James E. Miller, John Burt ner, Andrew McCafferty, Alfred Miller, L. G. Madison and Thomas Woods. Both Anderson and Patterson asked to be excused from serving on the jury be cause they were neighbors of the defend ant, but the Court said it had no right to excuse them for such cause, "v. Kelly assisted in selecting his jury and before the jury was sworn.Mr. McQaistion of the defense, made a motion to quash the bill of indictment for the reason that the Grand Jury that heard the case had at first ignored it and that afterwards at the instance of the District Attorney McJunkin had changed their verdict and bad changed the indorsement on the bill. Then he went on and charged the District Attorney with certain misdoings and talked till noon, when the Court asked him what proof he had.of this, and he replied. "The affidavit of the defendant. *'Was the defendant in the jury room T" asked the Court. No, certainly not;" "Then where does this in formation come from V "From Grand Jury men of oourse." The motion to quash was refused; Kelly added an affidavit to the written exceptions, and it was filed and an exception noted. _ The Court then cautioned the jury against talking to anybody about the case on trial, or listening to talk about the case when on trial, and added that it looked as though the defendant had been prowling around the Grand Jury. This remark was imme diately objected to by the defense, and another exception noted. At 1:30 p. m„ the District Attorney read the 'bill of indictment to the juiy Ist Count, forging fraudulent warrants on the county; 2nd Count, publishing and utter the same—and opened the case. The Com monwealth would show that Kelly was elected a County Commissioner, that he was re-elected in 1887, and that with B. M. Duncan and A. J. Hutchison, he took the oath of office and his seat on the first Mon day of January 1888, the way business was done in the office, the making and uttering of the fraudulent warrants, etc. The witnesses for the prosecution were called and sworn. Enos McDonald was tho first witness. He lives in Franklin twp.. is a farmer, was Clerk of the County Commissioners in IbSJ; Duncan, Hutchison and Kelly were the Commissioners, ho issued the warrants which were usually signed by two uommis sioners;all bills were paid by warrants drawn on the County Treasurer; Amos Seaton was County Treasurer; the Commonweiilth costs were recorded in two large docket*, the County Commissioners referred to the dockets and the number of the warrant was entered on the docket when the cost was paid; persons receiving costs from the county receipted for same on the stub 01 the order; he had oustody of the warrant book; he left the office on Saturday even ing, April 20, 1889, and when he returned Monday morning he found that an "ru ßr had been drawn in favor of John Sbauer; the stub-book was produced and McDonald read the stubs of tho several fraudulent warrants and stated that no costs were due the parties at the time the warrants were drawn excepting to John McElrov forsl. <8 while the warrant drawn in his favor was for a larger sum; ho had searched tho Com monwealth dockets for seven months; the thirteen warrants aggregatod $58.50; $54 - 40 had been refunded; all had been refund ed that he was certain at the time were fraudulent; warrant No. 2500 to John Mo Elroy for $4.10 was not refunded to him; ho entered into no arrangement not to prosecute Kelly; at the time the money was refunded he turned the matter over to the Co. Commissioners; tho money was re funded and Kelly resigned; in the Spring of 1891 he thought this matter should be examined on account ol Kelly's sentations; he saw Seaton and Wilson aad was advised by his attorney not to prose cute; the matter was allowed to rest; two years expired, and he did not know until this spring when Kelly's candidacy revived it that it was yet open, and then he con sidered it his duty to prosecute. (Mr. Mc- Donald's reasons lor prosecuting were in answer to a question by Mr. Thompson ol the defense; and before he got through, both Thompson and Forquer tried to stop him,but the Court decided that as they had asked the question they should hear the full answer, and made Thompson and Forquer hold their peace,while the witness answered, exception noted, etc.) Witness detected Kelly's irregularities, but did not detect any irregularities in the doings ol the other two Commissioners. AMOS SEATON, Sworu, lives in Venango twp., was County Treasurer in 1889, had order of John Shaffer in his possession, conldn't say who presented the Shaffer or der or any of the fraudulent orders, had cashed them, and the money for them was refunded to him. GBO E. THOMAS, is County Detective, in company with District Attorney,called at the home of J. C. Kelly and demanded the warrants, and Kelly said he didn't know where they were, had mislaid them (Here the District Attorney asked Mr. Kelly to produce tho warrants,and thonsh his coun sel objected and said the constitution pro tected and shielded him. and that tho pro ceeding was illegal; Kelly arose and said he didn't know where the warrants were). Amos Seaton was recalled and stated that ho gave the warrants to Kelly, but couldn't say whose names were on them. Enos McDonald was recalled and stated that he saw the warrants and that his name was on them as Clerk though he had not written it; that, he knew Kelly's hand writing, and that his (McDonalds') name and Duncan's weie in Kelly's handwriting he authorized no one to write bis name and his name to the warrants was fraudulent B. M. DUNCAN, sworn, was County Com missioner in 1889—did not sign the Shaller order or any of tho other lraudulent orders to which his name was fcigned; no amount was duo Shaffer or the others; the matter was biought up and Kelly ailmittiil his guilt, said ho ''came to them wilh his bands up;" Kelly took the stub-book, help ed count tho amount up and said h • would refund; saw the warrants in Treasurer's office; knows Kelly's handwriting; Kelly wrote the names on the warrant-; did not allow anybody to write his name to illegiti mate warrants; was not present when warrants were signed. A. J. HUTCHISON. Sworn, was County Commissioner in 1889, had conversation with Duncan and Kelly as to these fraudu lent warrants; wanted to fix matters up be fore audit; Kelly wanted to put it off; went to private room and Kelly made confession, said he was guilty; his right to sign Dun can's name to legitimate warrants was con ceded, but not to illegitimate warrants. L. A. Haln an had some c«rersation with Kelly as to the McElroy warrant and pursuaded him to pay it—Mr. McDonald paid to County Treasurer money received from Kelly—Mr. DeWolf was County Aud itor in 'B9, but the question asked him was objected to—Tho stub-book and Common wealth dockets were put in evidence, and the Commonwealth lested, Court adjourned till 10.15, Monday. THE DEFENSE. On Monday, Mr. Forquer opened for the defense, lie referred to the custom of the Commissioners as to signing warrants — said that five warrants were drawn by Mr. Kelly to parties who claimed costs from ; tho county—that the trouble in the Countv I Commissioners office was made through parties outside— that Kelly wa» a faithful, honest and upright officer—that he resign- | ed his office at the instance of his •wife— that he is a high tempered man—that they would show his spotless reputation for honesty before this affair, etc. The names of forty-one persons were r«ad and called as witnesses for the defense and those who responded were sworn in a body before the railing. Reuben McElvara was the first witness j called for the defense. He was Clerk ot Courts from June, '*s to Jan., '9l, the costs were filed in that office and certified to the County Commissioners; the costs in a case are certified together as far as pos sible but are sometimes scattered. Mrs. Dermody was called but not ques tioned. John C. Kelly, sworn—Am defendant in this ca*e, am 53 year* of age. live in But ler twp.. has a w'ife and family, was elect ed Co. Commissioner in ISS4, qualified first Mondav of Januarv. 1885; reelected in 1887 and qualified first Monday of January 1888; ou the various dates (as set forth in the indictment) he issued the warrants lor the sums mentioned to the parties men tioned, and wrote Duncan and McDonald's names on them, according to understand ing to that effect when the Board organiz ed; believed he had the right to sign their names; McDonald was absent Saturday ev enings: had seen Duncan sign McDonald's name; signed McDonald's name because he was not there; signed the warrants on different days of the week and sometimes in office when others were not there; the warrants were not signed before or after office hours to his knowledge; warrant Xo. 2180 was to John Shaffer—and it is to be presumed the amount was due him it was presumed bv Shaffer —he didn t know that Shaffer was'not there, nor that he (Kelly) got the money on the warrant or that noth ing was due Shaffer. It looked as though there was money coming to McElroy. Mc- Elroy was present when the order was drawn: John Hamil said there was money due bim. In answer to the question by Mr. Goucher, as to whether or no he was in the habit of drawing warrants on the sav-so of parties or his presumption, he an swered that parties came to him and claimed costs, he didn't see the costs on record: wasn't in the habit of doing this, parties said costs coming to them all right and he goes and draws warrants; he draw ed these warrants on the presumption that these men had costs; he thought there was costs coming to Leber and did not know as a matter of fact that there was not; Le ber called for his costs,couldn t find Reed s costs but still drew warrant for him; par ties claimed to have costs due them and needed it; costs were paid as per record; Hutchison hardly ever signed warrants; he (Kelly i resigned as Co. Com. after this trouble (this was in answer to Mr. Gouch er's question as whether ho di.i not resign after being confronted with these irregu larities); he signed these warrants in the Commissioners' office. Several well known citizens of the town and county then testified as to Kelly s rep utation for honesty before this trouble; though some of them had heard of the du plicate affair and the defense rested. Quite a number of persons who were called up to the bar and sworn as witnesses were not called upon to testify. Enos McDonald was recalled and stated that he generally left the office at 5 p. m. on Saturday, C p. m. other days, and that Kelly generally got to the office after he did. , » Thompson, of the defense, read a dozen points as what constitutes forgery, the in fluence of previous good character, etc., some of which were affirmed by the Court and some refused. Dist. Att'y McJunkin then went to the jury and gave a history of the case, and thought that as there was no defense the jury could not but find a verdict of guilty as indicted. Col. Thompson thought the defense had made out a complete defense; said there no evidence that Kelly presented these warrants tothe Co. Treasurer; that kellj was an accommodating man; that he paid the money back because he had made a mistake, and not because he got it; and left the case with the jury confident of an acquittal. . Mr. McQuistion felt safe in coming be fore this jury, and confident of receiving justice; thought tho prosecution was in stituted by bad motives and malice; said Kellv owns two or three farms and would not stoop to stealing small amounts; these warrants were all signed on Saturdays; Kelly was surrounded by a den of rattle snakes ready to bite him; it was unpleas ant for him to do business there and so he resigned; he was arrested by the same rattlesnakes for changing the duplicates; he was a thorn in their side; the parties may have lied to Kelly and he made good his mistakes by returning the money and getting away from the class that surround ed him; it was a groundless,malicious,cow ardly prosecut oa,and McDonald should pay the costs; Kelly was worth $20,000, cash; tho men who wanted him out of the office were stinging him at every opportunity, etc. Mr. Robinson, for the prosecution, thought it was easy to throw mud, that ' when wrong was to be right ed somebody had to take the lead; explained the'metbod of paying Common wealth costs, said that Kelly had had four years to produce John Shaffer and these other men and show where these costs be longed; Kelly may have been a good man at one time but not since he has been prowling around the Commissioner s omce issuing such warrants as these, etc. The speeches being ended, Miss lindley a stenographer, took a seat at the table of the defense, and as this is unusual, Judge Greer remarked upon it, and was informed by the counsel for the defense that it meant no distrust of him, but was for their own convenience. Judge Greer in bid charge gave some legal definitions of forgery, said the Com mon weal th must make out a caise beyond a reasonable doubt, said there must be in tent to defraud, that the whole essence of the case was in Kelly's intention?; that Duneau could not give Kelly the right to sign his name to commit a crime; quoted from the Supreme Court as to the effect of previous good character, etc. The defense objected to the dockets be ing sent out with the jury, and they were returned. The case went to the jury at 5 p. m., Monday; the jury bad not agreed at 10 p. m.; their suppers were sent to them, they slept that night on the floor of the jury room; came into Court next morning at 9:30 and said they could not agree; were sent back, and came in again at 2:30 p. m. and again said it was impossible for them to agree. The foreman said that there were no hopes of their agreeing and that they had not changed since their first vote, whereupon the Court dismissed them with an extra days pay for being out all night. The jury stood 9 to 3, in favor of convic tion, and agreed among themselves not to tell who favored conviction and who favor ed acqui,tal, but it is confidently asserted that McCafferty, iladison and Jas. E. Mil ler are the three who favored acquittal. The case will have to be retried, and probably will be at December term. THE PERJURY CASE. Tuesday morning, Kelly's counsel made an effort to have the bill of indictment for perjury quashed on the ground that one of the Counts specified acts committed at-six different times, and other errors. Tffompeon and made long ar guments in support of this, and the Court said he would consider this motion. Then both sides agreed to continue the perjury case, and it was continued till December Term. • Three negroes were lynched in Louisana last Saturday for refusing to betray a brother who killed a Judge.
