BERT KELSEY CONVICTED
MURDERED JAMES ALLEN
In Orleans County Court The Jury
Convicted Kelsey of Murder
Sentenced to the Electric Chair.

In the murder trial of Bert Kelsey,
charged with the murder of James
Allen of Orleans on December 9th,
1918, which case went on trial We'd
nesday, Feb. 5th, the jury having
been drawn the day before, was given
to the jury Friday noon; after be-
ing out all night they brought in a
verdict Saturday at $50 o'clock in
the morning, guilty in the first de-
gree.
Allen and Kelsey were employed at
the Parker & Young Co.'s mill at Or
leans at the time of the murder. The
murdered man, James Allen, had
lived in Orleans about three years,
and was a native of Charleston. He
was known as peaceable and always
went about his own business. The
body was found by B. H. Alden about
6:15 on the night of the murder, in
the mill yard, as Mr.. Alden went
down to unload some lumber. The
skull was crushed, and it appeared
that Allen might have been decoyed
to the spot by some one, the motive
being robbery, as $247.O0 were found
upon the body untouched, the person
evidently being frightened away be-
fore having time to secure the money
That part of the yard is practically
deserted between the hours of 5 ano
6o'clock. The deed must have beer
done soon after o'clock as Aller
registered at that time.
Kelsey has a wife and adopted
child. He had been in the employ OF
| the Parker & Young company few
