GIVE PREACHERS RECORD.
The prosecution hopes to prove that
the laundry was covered with blood
stains watch Kelly was unable to take
out himself.
Evidence for the state today con-
cerned Kelly during the years 1918,
914 and 1915, when he was at Sioux
Falls, S. D., and Carroll, Ia. Three
witnesses were from Sioux Falls, one
from Winner, S. D., and six from Car
roll, Ia. 81.
"A bit of testimony given to the
grand jury, but not permitted in evi-
dence today, was that of Miss Beulah
Galloway of Carroll, Ia, 21year-old
telephone operator, who ctold the
grand jury Kelly had asked her to
pose in the nude for him.
EXPECT CONFESSION TODAY.
It is said the state will spring the
confession Kelly made today.
Last week the testimony of Cora
Marquard, laundry marker, and Mr..
Miller, was stricken from the record
by Judge Boies, because of incom-
potency of witnesses, but by pursuing
another course this afternoon the
state was successful in getting enough
Of Miller's testimony in to indicate the
point it is trying to register.
The state is endeavoing to show
that 4 few days after the murder,
Ke1ag delirered u i packagle TO tie
Bluffs. laundry with no name, but
s. with slip attached, requesting that
the package should be returned to
Macedonia, which was done, accord
ing to testimony of Miller, who pro-
duced an invoice of the laundry show
, ing that the basket containing Kelly's
shirt and underwearwas received back
from the Bluffs on Saturday, June IS,
1912. Miller testified Kelly received
the package, but did not leave ii at
his place for laundry.
Near Bluffs at Time.
: To show that Kelly was near Coun-
Gil Bluffs during the week after the
muder, the state offered as exhibit
No. II, postal card addressed by
Kelly at Omaha, $50 p. M, June II,
1912, the cad reading as follows:
Dear Mr.. Miller; my business here
will detain me beyond 9: l8 in the
morning, so I will not be home by
q Carson tomorrow evening. Elder A.
M. Miller fixed up tina other. little
deal with me and that suppose can
be counted in my, salay and be de-
Quoted after I get my freight bill paid
and my goods out of depot at Manse.
That is my duty now and | gave
him receipt. Rev. L. G. ]. Kelly"
The significance of the postal card
in evidence, the prosecutions explains,
is to establish the probability Of Kelly
having delivered the laundry at Coun-
Gil Bluffs hirnsef as stated by the
laundry people. The judge admitted
the postal card as evidence.
Prosecution Elated.
The state was elated over its sue
cess in this matter. During the day
the prosecution got before the jury,
in connection with the bloody shirt"
incident, testimony from various wit
nesses who said Kelly told them he
had sent package to the laundry at
the Bluffs. To one witness Kelly
said his shirt had been stained by
blood from his nose; to another, that
the shirt was stained by blood while
shaving, and another witness related
that Kelly said he stained the shirt
by breaking a bottle of liquid in his
valise.
Miller testified that he examined
the package which he delivered to
Kelly and found it contained shirt
and underwear
Attorney Mitchell asked Miller:
"Have you any independent record OF
having sent basket of laundry to the
Bluffs on Tuesday, Jnne Is, 1912"
II have not" replied the witness,
but in previous testimony he ex-
planned it had been the custom to
send basket by express every Tues
day and receive it back on Saturday
In this particular case he showed a
laundry invoice containing the Kelly
package, with date or Saturday, June
Is, 1912.
To Admit Ticket Records.
The state expects to recover itseli
on another point which was ruled or
adversely for them last week, namely
offering station records of Sidney
Ia, to show that Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Sirnonds, now of Hamburg, Ia.
travelled from Sidney to Carson, la.
on a. Monday morning early in june
