Kelly Defense to
 Be Predicated On
 Slayer's Insanity
(By Review Leased Wire)

RED OAK, Iowa, Sept. 1s.-Promi nent among the defenses of the Rev Lynn George J. Kelly, charged with murder in connection with the Willis ca axe sIaying. will be the contention that he was mentally unbalanced when he made various alleged confessions of suilt with which he is now con fronted. This was revealed today by w. E.. Mitchell of his counsel, in ex- plaining his line of questioning after the state had rested its case, following the introduction of a signed comics sion said to have been made by Kelly in jail at Logan, Iowa, August 31. 1917.
 Mitchell said the issue of the preach CTS mental responsibility would be raised as one of his defenses. R. C. Lahman, an editor of Missouri Val ley, Iowa, testified he believed Kelly unbalanced when he saw him in jail.
 Lahman and a man named Bachelor were handcuffed and taken into jail in the guise of highwaymen so they could be present when notices of new evi- dences by the state were read to Kel- ly by Sheriff NJ D. Meyers.
 An agent of the attorney-general was present during the reading. Lah- man said the agent made frequent in- terruptions to say:
 That looks bad, Kelly" to which the prisoner would respond:
 Tt isn't so; it is a lie"
 When the reading was about half way through, Kelly wanted the sher- iff to promise they would send him to an insane asylum and not hang him. Lahman said.
 The Logan county jail confession was identified by Paul E. Roadifer. who testified he wrote it on a type writer from the prisoners voluntary dictation. One of the counsel for Kel- ly said:
 q would like to go on the stand and tell the truth. I know am innocent"
 He listened to the reading of his alleged confession with no apparent change of his demeanor.
 The text of the alleged statement of Kelly offered in evidence today is of the same general nature as the ab- stract already published. quoting Kel- ly as saying that, demented by an ir- resistiable force with the text "slay utterly" ever in his life, he killed the eight persons with an axe.
 In the statement Kelly is quoted as detailing his arrival in Villisca and in cidents up to the time he was shown up to his room and the family of Rev J. Ewing had retired to their tents for the night.
 ''I went to bed but was restless" the statements quotes as Kelly's words. q heard a noise outside like a wind mill and opened the door of the bal cony-but found nothing.
 q began to feel sick and wanted to take a walk so I dressed and went outside. I walked across to the Presbyterian church. l did not intend to go further but my mind was working on a sermon on the text 'slay utterly
 'T had been hearing and reading ser mons on that text and voice said go on and went on because was in the

 'I felt God wanted me to slay and did not know where was going or where l was.
 q got down near the street and I saw q shadow on the side of a house going from the back 10 the front and God told me to follow that shadow
 'I went hunting the shadow to the back of the house. I did not know who lived there but I kept on hearing that voice 'slay utterly" said yes. Lord I will
 "I was walking around in the dark ness around the house trying to find that shadow and accidentally found an axe. I picked it up and went to where the shadow went for God wanted me to follow that shadow. l went around to the front door A voice says: go in, do as I tell you; slay utterly
 "I saw no light but had to do as God told me and dare not turn back because somebody was urging me on, l didn't know who.
 '1 went right ahead because | heard that voice and as soon as I got in the house someone whispered. come up higher" out of the Bible. And went up flight of stairs because I thought I uyas opfnu nm Tocohfc 1aadar

 Before I knew what I was doing started sending those children some where. l did not know and had to do as God told me and 'slay utterly And so to obey God. I used the axe and did not realize where was hitting them, only l was trying to do what God wanted be to do.

 'To the best of my memory. left the axe in the house and returned to the Ewing ohme and went back to bed and got up in the morning and caught the 5:19 train for Macedonia. arriving home about 7;30 o'clock
