What WiIIle Told Miss Gray.

What Willie Told Miss Gray.
Miss Gray, who makes her home
with her mother, said she staid over
night with Mrs. Armentrout recently
and at that time, Willie was out all
night. She was aware of his acquaint-
ance with Miss Austin, she said be-
cause Willie had spoke of Miss Aus
tin to her. When Willie came home,
Miss Gray testified she asked him:
We'll, if you like the girl so we'll, why
don't you marry her?' The answer
she testified Willie gave her would,
under ordinary circumstances, have
made drunken sailor SILVER in his
boots. Weren't you shocked 2" asked
Assistant County Attorney McManus,
to which she replied, Well. yes, |
was" Asked whether or not Willie
was accustomed to using such language
in her presence, Miss Gray said: well
I've heard him swear, but he was what
you would call confirmed cusser.''
The others who were called to tes-
afy were Mrs. Jennie Stack, Mrs. An
ma Kelly, Mrs James Leach, Mrs. Mar
garet Mullen and Mrs. Henry Miller.
Mrs. Armentrout was formerly a
neighbcr to Mrs. Miller, but while only
having casual acquaintance with
Mrs. Armentrout, the latter had com
planned to her about the company her
nephew had been keeping. Mrs. Null
len knew nothing about the case.
Through Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Stack,
the report that Keithley was preparing
to leave Mrs. Armentrcut was verified.
Mrs. Kelly said Mrs. Armentrout told
her that Willie was high tempered
and had told her that if she did not
stop nagging him about the Austin
woman he was going to leave. Mrs.
Stack repeated the same statement.
All of the witnesses examined said
Mrs Armentront had objected to them
about the Austin girl. and two Of the
witnesses said Mrs Armentrout had
told them that her nephew would
never marry the girl.

Jealousy the Possible Motive.

Throughout the taking of the testi-
mony, Assistant McManus conducted
the examination along lines intended
to disclose possible motive for the
Keithley death. but the apparent lack
of knowledge on the part of the wit.
nesses circumyented, to any appreci-
able degree, the positive establishing
of motive. Witnesses who were
asked concerning the reported improp
er relations between Mrs. Armentrout
and her nephew said they knew moth
ing about such relations, as Mrs. Arm
entrout and her nephew lived very
quietly and to themselves. The re
ported jealousy of Mrs. Armentrout, Of
Miss Austin, or other girls that her
nephew had kept company with, could
not be confirmed by any of the wit
Inesses yesterday afternoon.
Chemists Report Says Poison.
Mrs Armentrout was uuestione
for considerable length OF time thi
morning. but Size disclosed ncthiag
that would incriminate herself He1
conversation, fer the most part, was
repetition of what she had said when
she was giving her testimony before
the coroner's jury. Immediately after
she was questioned this morning she
was taken before Judge Mcnamara
where she was informed of her right
to an attorney to represent her. She
availed herself of the right and ac
Icordingly, she was not arraigned this
morning, but will be arraigned later
She was ordered committed to jail
without bond
The report of Drs. lockwood and AL
bert. chemists in the laboratory at the
state university at Iowa City, was re
ceived here last evening. The former
chemist examined the contents o.
Keithley's stomach, while the lattel
made an examination OF the walls O
i the stomach AS was expected, the
analysis showed the stomach to con
tain strychnine. The report of he
chemists was not surprising, as II wa!
confidently expected that the repor
would show evidence OF poisoning.
