Cold Blood
He Was Arrested at Hcsperia happenings
at San Bernardno A Wedding
and a Failure

San Bernardino, Feb. l7.-patrick Kee-
ly, the section foreman who was ASSAULT
ed by John Daley, a discharged iaborcr at
Summit, night before last, and beaten
over the head with monkey wrench, died
at the Sisters Hospital in this city at am
early hour yesterday morning, The top
of his skull was crushed and splintered
by the murderous blows of his assalant.
and he died before the operation OF ire
pannng the skull could be attempted.
Daley was arrested at Hesperia, a station
several miles beyond Summit, yesterday
morning, while trying to purchase ticket
for Barstow.
The murder of Keely proves to have
been most brutal and unprovokod as
sault.
He had some words with Daley in the
forenoon over some work that the foreman
wanted done, but after the work was com
peted the matter was supposed to be for
gotten.
In the evening Keely informed Daley
that he intended to discharge him, and
drew time check for Daley The latter
went out for a moment and soon returned
carrying a stone in his hand. But as he
approached keely, he dropped the rock,
and, seizing a monkey which was at
hand struck the foreman on the head
with it. Keely fell to the floor, and then
the murderer, STOPPING over the prostrate
form, drove the wrench into Keely's skull
three times, MASKING the top OF it and in
tiictng such injuries that, even ii help
had been at hand. nothing could have
been done for him.
One of the section men said to him that
he had killed Keely, when Daley answered
that he was glad of it and that he wouIl
come to the city and give himself up. He
then disappeared in the darkness and
nothing more was seen OF him until lac
was arrested at Hesperia.
One of the remarkable features of the
murder was the fact that three OF the seq
ton men sat by in the room, saw the at-
tack made and did not move 10 preyept
it,. Even after the foreman had fallen to
the floor and Daley continued the murder
Gus assault they permitted him to wicld
the wrench without interfering keely
