FOR KELLY'S MURDER.
Three Men Now on Trial Before
Judge Porter for the Crime.
THE STORY OF THE FATALITY.
Allegheny County Decisions Handed Down
BY the Supreme Court.
NO INJUNCTIONS AGAINST DEPOSITS

The trial of Henry Huser, principal, and
William j. Croft and Barney Huser, as &C
cessories for the murder of Henry H.
Kelly at Webster on the night of August
%, 1891, was begun before Judge Porter
Yesterday. 1t is Judge Porter's first case
in his regular official term. 1t will proba-
bly be finished today. District Attorney
Burleigh and William McElroy represented
the Commonwealth, and ID. F. Patterson,
who was one of the attorneys for the defense
in the trial of James Mutt some years ago,
appears for the defendants
The row in which Kelly was fatally
wounded occurred in the saloon of George
Lang, in Webster, Westmoreland county.
He was removed to his home in Forward
township, this county, where he died on
the night of August %. All of the fore
noon yesterday was consumed in securing a
jury. The case was opened by District At
torney BurleiGh, and DR.. c. B. Wood, who
had attended Kelly, was the first witness
He described the wounds found on kelly's
body and testified that he had died from
exhaustion and loss of blood, having had
several hemorrhages.
W. L. Kelly, a brother of the decea ased, was
the next witness, but his testimony WAS un-
important, except to show that his brother
had good health previous to the time he was
wounded.
A A Tilbrook testified TO having helped
Kelly up over a bank after he had been cut,
but he did not see the cutting
Reese Boyd said he was standing in front
of the saloon when Kelly first put in an ap-
pearance. The latter got into controversy
with a German and then went into the
saloon. In a very short time Kelly and
three or four men came rushing out. They
were striking at each other. Witness then
went into the saloon and notified those
present that there was row outside. When
he came out again the cutting had been
done and Kelly was coming up over a bank.
Joseph Sichel, boy Is years of age, cor
roborated Boyd's testimony.
W. E. Rue was the next witness, and it
seemed that he was the best yet called for
the Commonwealth. He said he saw Croft
and Henry Huser push Kelly up into the
closet. Witness started into the saloon for
help, when Henry Huser threatened to kill
him. He braced himself against the door,
and two men, Huser and another one caught
hold of him. Huser accused witness of call
ing him names, and said he would kill him.
In the meantime two other men. whom the
witness could not identify, although he
thought Croft was one of them had Kelly
cornered in the closet adjoining the saloon.
On croSs-e1amination. Rue said he did not
see any of the cutting. Court adjourned
with this witness still on the stand.
