FRED PtIL TO DIE UPON
GAlLOWS UNLESS REPRIEvED
Condemned Man Gets Sympathy as Time
for Execution draws near. Says
Stabbed Neighbor to Save
His own Life

my wife wanted to use the keg she
went over and asked for 1t, but Ker-
ber's wife said that 1t did not belong
to me.
when Kerber came home he was
drunk and when he found that we
wanted the keg he brought some of
his friends and came to my house and
called me all kinds of names and tried
to pick fight, but l would not fight
with him. 1 told him to keep the keg.
that l did not want to have any trou-
BILE over a keg.
Some time afterward my father
in-law had another keg of beer. My
wife and l went up to have glass
with him. When Kerber found that
we were there he came with some
friends and wanted to have some beer
We gave them some and passed the
bottle of whisky around to them. At
ter we had been drinking a while Ker-
Der brought up the matter of the beer
keg that we had asked for some time
before. He called me names, but l
told him that l had forgotten about
that and did not think anything more
about that old beer keg. Kerber said
that he had not forgotten 1t and want
ed 1t settled now.
81 went over to him and sat down
on the lounge beside him and put my
arm around him and said that / did
not want to have any trouble with him
as he was my friend and neighbor
Then he jumped up and struck me
with his fist. Our friends held us and
would not let US fight and then Kerber
and his friends left the house.
When my wife was ready to go
home l started to the barn TO get my
horse. I did not see Kerber, but 1
saw one of his friends standing by the
barn. When / got up to Kerber's
friend he seized me by the shoulder
and told me to stop. Then Kerber
came from behind the barn with a
board and knocked me down three
times. l thought sure that he was GO
ing to kill me and as I tried to get
up got my knife and stabbed him.
| stabbed him because / thought he
would kill me and / wanted to save my
own life. What I regret most is that
we drank so much beer and whisky
that we got drunk. / was to blame
for getting drunk. but / do not think

life"
Peil is not an illiterate man by any
means, although he possesses a very
limited knowledge of the English Ian
guage. He is a great reader of Ger
man books and periodicals and spends
much of his time in the perusal of
in that tongue on history,
theology. etc. Rev
Sparks has ransacked the town for
German books for the prisoner and
those having such works will confer
a favor by loaning them to the unfor-
tuUaie man to solace him in his i'm
II seems more than pos
sible that Governor Shafroth will
commute the punishment of the muir

tain that such a course will commend
itself 10 those familiar with the crime
that has brought the condemned man
into the shadow of the gallows.
Cañon City record., 1910-03-24

AS the date draws near for the exc
eution of Fred Peil, the young German
condemned to be hanged in the peni-
tentiary here sometime during the
week beginning April third, for the
murder of George Kerber. a fellow
countryman, near Johnstown, Weld
county, last October, sympathy is be-
coming more general for the unfortu-
nate man.
Warden lyman. of the penitentiary,
stated recently that many a man nao
been acquitted of crime that was far
more guilty of deliberate murder than
Peil, and the same sentiment has been
expressed by Chaplain Blake and 9TH
ers familiar with the circumstances
that brought him here. People who
have visited Peil in prison say that it
is easy to see that he is not a con-
Armed criminal; that his open, though
sorrowful countenance and frank
manner, do not bespeak the criminal
instinct. Peil is apparently the VIC
tim of circumstances, although, 1t
must be acknowledged, too much of
his own making. Liqnor was undoubt-
edly the cause of his downfall, while
rsovarfy has haap hic hipdranoa II oh
tanning for him the clemency of the
law.
Rev. c. w. Sparks, pastor of Trim
fty Lutheran church of this city, has
become deeply interested In the sub
ject of procuring a reprieve for the
condemned man and is doing all thet
he can to call the attention OF Cover
nor Shafroth to a personal considera-
ton of Peil's case. and. II is UNDER
stood, that the executive has become
concerned in the matter and has writ
ten Warden lyman. Aside from Rev.
Sparks and Chaplain Blake the only
visitors to the cell of the prisoner
since his Incarceration here have
have been his aged father. from oklo-
homa, dressed in the peasant costume
of Central Europe. and his wife and
baby from Greeley.
The following is Fred Peil's story of
his crime as told to Rev Sparks:
THE trouble between Kerber and
myself began over beer keg. My
father-in-law had bought AXE of
beer and then asked me to come to
his house and have a glass. That day
I went to his house and took my wife
along. While we were there Kerber
and some of his friends came to my
house and asked the girl that was stay
ing there where I was. She told him
that was at my father-in-law's drink
ing some beer. Kerber then came to
my father-in-law's and called me out
He said he understood had a keg
of beer.
81 told him that ] did not have any
beer, but that my father-in-law had a
keg and If he wanted a glass that he
should ocme in. He came in and we
drank some beer and then passed a
bottle of whiskey around Finally
Kerber asked If he could have the keg
until / needed It and that when
wanted it I could have 1t back. He
was told that he could have Il and that
when I wanted it would let him
know. Kerber took the keg As he
lived in the house next to mine when
