' ,........ THE BEE; OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1917. . KELLY WHOLE LOAD - OF MS-SUM 'Attorney for Defense in VUlisca Attack Upon Attorney , General Havner. (ContlnnM frma Ti Om.) has dipped its horn into this party, he said. 1 "Why did Havner want to send Kelly to Des Moines? Why did he not leave him in Red Oak? Kelly was taken to Red Oak for the nefarious purpose of obtaining a confession from an insane man. They broke down his mental resistance. The ef forts of the state were to get evidence where there was none. Havner went to Logan primed for the confession; he set the stage and carefully laid his plans. "I would rather be a louse and live the rest of my days sleeping on the carcass of a hyena than to be in the positirn of the attorney general.

' , "Kelly did it. Deal with him as men and return a verdict of guilty." Open for Prosecution. Attorney Hess made the opening statement to jury for the prosecution: "Ou the night of June 9, 1912,, m Villisca there occurred the most hor rible crime that was ever perpetrated in the state of Iowa," he began. "It was committeed by a human degener ate and sexual pervert of superhuman accuracy and cunning.

H wai I family by name, but merely referred to 'a family.' He told four persons of the crime before 8 o'clock Mon day morning and I say there is no doubt that he took part in this awful murder. "How did Kelly know what hap pened in the Moore home if he was not there? He told Mrs. Miller the murderer had stunned his victims first and then went around and cut them with the blade. Mr. Hess then picked up the ax found in the Moore home and said: "It would not take much of a blow with this ax to stun a person. -The blood of this crime is still on the ax." He continued: "Isn't it probable when he left the Ewing home to get fresh air he just slipped on his trousers and shirt? "We find he was in Omaha -on Wednesday by written evidence of a postal card to W. C. Miller. .He went through Council Bluffs to Oma ha and took the shirt to the laundry, because he told five people in four towns the murderer had taken the bloody shirt to a laundry. "Who knew it but Kelly? To Julius Wald at Sioux Falls Kelly said he himself left the shirt at Council Bluffs and nose-bleeding had caused the stains. He toW another, that a cut while shaving caused the. blood stains. The truth is he tried to wash the blood from the shirt and then eft it at a laundry."' When you come to read . Kelly s confession you find it tallies up with his statements at various times. "There were ax marks on the ceil ing which was seven - feet and eight inches irom - floor. This, man could have touched: the ceiling without half trying. "When MitcheL said in his opening statement that be was defending a man of God he did not say it with much grace. i "Kelly may be a man of God, but he is a long ways from heaven. 'To W. O. McQueen at Sioux Falls, Kelly said I killed the Moore family, but thev can't Drove it. and to Julius Wald, Sioux Falls, he said I did kill them but they don t know it and said identically the same words to Eugene Riley, lo James lyier, cellmate at Sioux Fallshe said he killed them. "This is the man of God Judge but ton, Mitchell and others will ask you to turn loose. Testimony shows his acts of sexual perversity were repeat ed and if he repeated them he would repeat murders. ' "The man who would asK your daughter or mine ' to remove her clothes in his office is the man they will ask you to inflict upon this com munity by turning him loose. Do you want your wife and children chopped to pieces in their beds?" Hess Reads Confession. Hess then "read to the jury the Logan confession, indorsing it as hav ing been duly sworn to and signed by Kelly as his voluntary act and statement. When Hess read the words "I used the ax," in the confession he placed his hand on the instrument of death at his side. "Every statement in this confession ! absolutely true and shown so by testimony of persons other tnan Kelly," said Hess. "If any inquisition, as charged, was imposed on Kelly at Logan, do you think a stenographer would have been called and every word said made a matter of record? We wanted to be fair, with this de fendant." - Hess defended the incident of niac ins? two handcuffed men in cell with Kelly at Logan by explaining that the state wanted to know what Kelly would say when. Sheriff Meyers read the notices, He Mid Kelly was urged fifty-one times during tne night of August 30 and 31, at Logan, to tell the truth. - , "At Logan Kelly said, 'Don't turn me loose; I might do it again.' He said that several times." Moore's and did not even know them or the StilUngers. , t, - - ... .

In conclusion Hess said that Rev. the defense admitted Kelly was on that train and the Simonds said that was the only time they ever met Kelly on train. We have shown the station records and dispatcher's train sheets to fix the time of that trip of Simonds and wife when they met Kelly. Related Murder Details.
