KILLED BY BELGIAN
William Kettlehutt, Lynn Township Farm
er Instantly Killed by Fifteen Year Old
Boy Who Confesses Crime.

Boy Who ConfesseS Crime.
William Kettlehutt, aged AZ years, a
well-known Lynn township farmer, was
shot and instantly killed last Saturday
evening by Ideal Phisena. fifteen
year old Belgian boy, who had been
helping him with his work. Kettlehut
was bachelor ana had lived on the
farm ~ miles west of Yale for about
fifteen years.
On Sunday morning John Brough,
who lives a mile south, sent his two
sons up to look after some cattle he
had pasturing on the murdered mans
farm. The boys saw the body lying in
the stable door, and thinking that Ket-
tlehutt had fallen asleep, they went
over to wake him, and discovered that
he was dead, They ran home and in
formed their father, who in company
with Hugh Rose, hurried to the scene,
and when nearing the place they saw
two Belgian boys sneaking out of the
barn. The body was not in sight, but
after short search it was found buried
under some hay.
Sheriff Windsor was at once notified
and shortly afterward arrived, in COM
pany with Deputy Sheriff Maines and
Police Justice q. l.. Black, acting coro-
ner during the absence of Albert Falk.
DR.. Ross and undertaken Walters, of
Capac, were summoned, and upon their
arrival the body was carried into the
house, where an examination of the
wound was made and a number of No.
4 shot were found lodged in the neck.
A coroner's jury composed of the fol.
lowing men was impanelled;-Hugh
Clink, Jas. Brough, Will Meickle, Mart
Ostrander, Elton Kenney and Joseph
Fairchild, and after all evidence OBJ
tainable on the premises was secured,
they were excused, and ordered to meet
at Capac on Tuesday, August %.
Young Phisena was on the scene
when the officers arrived and was i'm
mediately taken into custody by Sheriff
Windsor, but he denied any knowledge
of the shooting, and even helped in the
search for The gun. When about ready
to leave, Mr.. Windsor took the boy:to
QUE side and told him if he would lind
the gun perhaps he wouldn't be taken
to Jail, whereupon the lad walked out of
the barn and got the weapon from the
spot where he had concealed it.
He was taken to the county Jail at
Port Huron and has since confessed
to the killing. His first story was that
he had asked Kettlehut for the use of
a horse to go to town, and upon being
refused he picked up the gun and shot
him. The second story We publish be.
low in the lads own words;-"rhe gun
was in the barn." he told the sheriff
al picked it up and asked ii it was
loaded. Bill said it wasn't and l guess
pulled the trigger. l was 80 fright
ened 1 ran home and told mother. She
said you would hang me. | went back
to the barn and covered Bill up with
straw. Then | hitched up Bill's horse
and was going to run away for good,
but 1 changed my mind and came
back" The little fellow sticks to this
story, claiming that his first statements
were false.

Il took great interest and pride in
the Christmas present given to the city
by the Rotary and the Kiwanis cubs
said John c. Henley, Jr., the we'll known

true civic spirit for a body of promi-
nent men to come down on a Christmas
morning and parade down Twentieth
street as the safety zone monuments
were being placed. Being in car and
following in their wake by careful steer
ing I was able to get by without in
juring any of the white, iron posts, but
could hardly rest Christmas night as
thought of how some careless drivers
or joy riders might overturn the new
safety signs I was much relieved on
coming down on Wednesday morning to
find that some thoughtful person had
moved the alleged safety posts to a safe
place on the sidewalks near telegraph
posts, SO that an automobilst would
have to climb a telegraph pole to do
them bodily harm. y
