ance today as the result OF the Staying
Of Col NJ c. Butler and Mrs. SPANIEL
at Alpine, Tex, the evening OF July 20,
1915 His third trial In connection with
the affair~-this time for the killing of
Col. Butler--reached the crucial stage
today when counsel presented their IL
nal arguments, preliminary 10 placing
the case with the jury late today.
II was three years ago this month,
Jan, 1917. that Spaniel. a music teach
er. was first tried in connection with
the double staying which marked an
automobile ride that ended on the CUT
skirts OF Alpine. In that trial he was
acquitted OF the charge of numbering
his wife. &
Three months after the frs. trial he
again faced district court jury, which
found him guilty Of killing Col Butler.
prison sentence OF five years was
Imposed The court OF appeals held,
hcwever, that the trial court erred IN
falling TO submit to the jury the plea.
OF former jeopardy presented by the He
fense and the decision was reverted
and the case remanded for a new TRIAL
Spanelrs first trial attracted natihnr
wide attention. He was a former muEiN
instructor at Baylor university. Wato.
r. Holland, wealthy and widely known
ranchman at Alpine.
Col Butler was son of the late Sen
ator ". c. Butler, of South Carolina,
and well known officer Of the regular
| army Mrs. Butler, who testified IN
all three trials, Is member OF the
prominent Howell family OF Nashville,
Tenn. M
Testimony presented at the third trial
OF Spaniel was virtually a repetition Of
that introduced at the first two trials
The prosecution, through the presen-
| tation OF many character and material
witnesses. sought to refute the conten-
| tion Of the defense that SPANIEL had
| been warranted In killing Col Butler
on the grounds that the latter had been
unduly attentive TO Mrs. SPANIEL. Sew
| eral army officers testified that Col
| Buffers reputation "as TO chastity and
virtue was above reproach."
