who said he had fought in the var of 1912.
and who rejoiced in the name Of Daniel Kel.
Icy; . man nsmed Jonathan Whitsell, one oi
the defendants. and Catherine K. w hitssll. the
other defendant. Three different charges were
made against the defendants /; Let, adultery
Cd. bigsmy Sd, assault With intent to com.
NIT murder. The second charge was brought
up first.
The case was shout as follows: Daniel
Kelley charged Whitsell and Catherine with
marrying. knowing that be, her lawful hus.
band. was living. The marrying part was
proved by the ministss -~As eEaiSistsd, Rev.
Mr.. Rutlsdge. Of LeClaire. Kelley swore that
he married Catherine in Pennsylvania, ia the
year 1922; had sixteen children by her, and
that they had lived together until within two
years.
The defense set up no prior marriage to the
one With Whitsell, and to render Kelley .
| testimony Of no account. brought in several
prominent citizens Of LsClairs to prove bis
reputation for truth and vsrseity. They
swore the old man was . very hard case. had
been known to utter falsehoods, and taken o..
