Russell, who is the manager of

WAGNER Is EXONERA1lD
CONTINUED from page ~

his actions spoke as plainly as words
Wagner then called to Hatch. Said
he purposely told him Mr.. Steele had
come as he did not want to fright
en- Hatch's sick wife more than was
necessary. Wagner identified the gun
with which he killed King and also
Kings revolver. Said King stood
within few feet of him when he
shot King
Wagner stated that he and King
had had no bad quarrels before, but
that Il knew King was treacherous
man and wanted to cut loose from
him."
Dragged of Men He Had Killed.
Questions from Deputy District At
torney Fry brought out. the fact that
King had made threats against his
partner (Wagner) to Mrs. Roy
Hatch, and Mrs. Hatch was recalled
to the stand to testify to this.
Mrs. Hatch said that she had
warned Wagner to be careful with
King. advising him to let King have
his own way as far as possible rath-
er than to have trouble with him, for
the reason that King was of bad
character Mrs. Hatch said that King
told her he had once KILLED A MAN
IN PROVO. AND HAD GONE TO
THOMPSON SPRINGS, UTAH. TO
KILL A MAN ONCE, BUT 1.-THE
BY DYING BEFORE HE GOT
THERE" Mrs. Hatch said that King
said to her "If Dutch Wagner makes
an awkward move 1 will fix him He
had better not touch anything
around this place unless he wants
to start rat killing" She said King
also said Dutch shan't have this
team. He had better not try to take
it,
81 Can Do 1t Again"
Wagner testified that, when King
secured his revolver from under the
pillow, he said: 81 HAVE KILLED
ONE MAN BEFORE AND CAN DO
1T AGAIN IF l HAVE TO DO IT."
Wagner's testimony made a good
impression on the jury. There was
evidently not the least attempt to
conceal anything. 1t was apparent to
all that he had killed King only to
save his own life and that he was
fully justified.
There was not the least bit of evil
dence in all the testimony given that
was unfavorable or damaging to the
defense of Wagner. The witnesses
all gave the same description of the
position of the body, the loaded and
cooked revolver that King had in his
hand when he was shot.
From all reports Wagner Is well
thought of by all who know him in
the Gateway country, while King had
bad reputation.
The jury took the case just at
noon, and, after few moments de-
liberation. brought in a verdict COM
pletely exonerating Wagner, declar
ing that he was justified in killing
King. Wagner was then released
from custody.
