SPANIEL CONVICTED
 OF kILLIA6 BUTLER
ALL BUT COLLAPSED WHEN JURY BROUGHT IN VERDICT OF

Coleman, Texas, May LA verdict of guilty of murder was returned a. S:25 o'clock tonight by the jury in the case c1 Harry j. Spanell. charged with the killing of Lieutenant Colonel NJ. C. Butler. and punishment was fixed at five years Imprisonment.
 Spanell all but collapsed when the verdict was read. Counsel for the de- fense announced a motion for q new trial would be filed immediately and if 1t were not granted, an appeal would be taken. The plea for reversal. they said. would be based specifical- ly upon tre refusal of the court to sustain defense's plea or former ac- quittal.'
 Spanell was indicted at Alpine, Texas, for the alleged killing of his wife and Lieutenant Colonel Butler on the night Of guly %. 1916. The charge of killing his wife. Mrs. Crystal Holland Spanell, was tried at San An- gelo last February, on change of venue. spanell was acquitted and the case against him for killing Butler was brought to Coleman county. The trial began Monday. April 23.
 TeStifylng in his own behalf, S"anell repeated his testimony given at San Anegol last February. Butler, he said, had showed undue attentions to Mrs Spanell, despite several warn ings and promises to cease these at tentlonS.
