CASE
NEAR AN END
Omitted Press Leased wire.p

SAN ANGELO, Texas, Jan. 20.
The fate of Harry J. Spaniel. on
trial for the murder of his wife,
may be in the hands of the jury
before night.
Spaniel, who was on the stand
practically all day yesterday, oc-
cupied several hours in describing
the events that led up to his shoot
ing Major M. G. Butler in an au-
tomobile at Alpine last July and
the death Of his wife from bullet
wounds at the same time. He
reached the narrative of the actual
shooting late In the day and al
though his recountal was at times
incoherent, he told one of the most
dramatic stories in Texas court
annals.
Judge, jury, court attaches, the
aged father of his dead wife, spec
tators and even the counsel for
both sides wept openly and Span
ell, in the midst of his recital col
lapsed on the stand. When he
had concluded his story he was
helped from the stand by two
court attaches.
Spaniel sprang a distinct sur
prise by stating that Butler him.
self started the shooting. He said
he believed his wife had been in
suited by Butler in the hotel and
that he invited the army officer
out in his automobile with Mrs.
Sponell Ito have it out with him."

GIVE WARNING
OF IMPOSTER

The police issued warning
Friday afternoon against the
payment of any fees by Taco
mans to persons representing
themselves as city electrical in
spectors.
A man making this representa-
ton has visited several business
houses and residences in the past
few days, pretended to inspect the
wiring. and has then charged fee
of slips. Such a fee is illegal,
and the man is an inposter, the
police say.
