MURDER AT KEEN'S POND
CONTINUED From Page one.)

several more nelgnDors, numbering
! about ten in all, were at the Dol
phin home until ten o'clock Satur-
! day night. One of the number was
a musician and furnished music for
a dance. When the company arrived
Mrs. Dolphin states that her husband
was in the kitchen and refused to
come out and join the rest in
good time until one of the number
went out and coaxed him. After
that he enjoyed himself as much as
the rest for the whole time the COM
pany was there or up to 10 o'clock.
Mrs. Dolphin's Story Sustained.
District Attorney NJ. Il. Simons,
accompanied by Coroner p. B. Peter
sen and N. b. Spencer, went to
Keen's Pond Monday and made
further investigation Of the premises
and questioned both Mrs. Leonard
and Mrs. Dolphin further as to the
occurrance. Many neighbors were
also questioned.
The undertaken was about to move
the body from the house when Spen-
Ger arrived, preparatory to moving
it to Dickson City for burial. He
held it up until the Coroner and Dis
trict Attorney arrived. A probe was
made for the bullets which entered
the mans body and to find the gen
eral direction of the shots. 1t was
found that one shot had entered the
ieshy part of the mans arm near
the shoulder and went through his
body piercing the left lung. The
other shot pointed upward and en-
tered the body in the center of the
chest also piercing the lungs. The
/ third and last was found to have
gone through the heart. 1t was
probably at this point that the
wounded man exclaimed, 20! My
God! I'm Shot! and rushed from the
room. The fact that the man was
shot through the heart and was able
to walk through two rooms before
falling seems remarkable but DR..
| Petersen stated that it was possible
as it is undoubtedly what happened
IN this case. The course of all
the shots entering the body was up
| ward, tending to prove that Hub
| bard pointed the gun upward and
that Dolphin was leaning over him
at the time. According to Hub
| bard's own statement six shots in all
were fired. Only five of them have
been accounted for thus far. The
extra shot may have went through
the open door, which accounts for it's
not being found. The investigation
as whole corroborated the testi-
mony of the family. Both Mrs.
Leonard and her daughter were
rigidly cross-eXamined by the dis
trict attorney but no different story
could be obtained from them.
A preliminary hearing will be held
in few days before a justice of the
peace so that the charge can be
'egally placed upon Hubbard and he
can be held for the next grand jury.
The body was taken to Dickson
! City, his former home, on Monday
afternoon, where burial took place.
All of his relatives live there.
Husband Was Not Jealous.
Mrs. Dolphin states positively that
her husband was not jealous of her
and had never mentioned anything
of the kind to her since they were
married. He disliked to have men
callers at the house but never COM
panied when one was there or seem
ed jealous. He and Hubbard were
on the best of terms all the time
she asserted. "In fact, Hubbard
came on the invitation of Mr.. Dol
phin, himself, who invited him to
make our home his Headquarters
while working in the vicinity and
Thursday he invited Hubbard to
come and stay over Sunday with u.s.
He had a jealous disposition
though" continued Mrs. Dolphin, but
it took the form of hating any man
who succeeded better than he did
or who was able to make more
money at any job than he was"
