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
