BEGIN KEEL TRIAL
FOR GRANT'S HEATS
Attorney General Rankin States that
First Degree Verdict Should
Be Given.
%
Virginia City, Jan. 23.—The case of
the state of Montana against John
Keel, charged with murder for the
killing of James Grant at the High
up mine, about 8 rades south of Vir
ginia City, September 16. 1921, open
ed for trial at 9:30 o'clock this mo?n
Notwithstanding the attempt, at
ing.
suicide said to have been made by
Keel last week, the defendant was
able to be in court and appeared lit
tle the worse for his experience aside
from a bandaged neck.
Practically the entire day was tak
en in the selection of the trial jury.
The defense was allowed 10 premp
tory challenges and the state five. In
the selection of the jury the state ex
hausted its full quota while the de
fense used but eight, waiving the
right to make use of its last two chal
lenges. From questions put to each
of the talismen as they were examined
it is clear that self-defense will be
set forth for the defense.
The state is represented in coun
sel by Attorney General Wellington
D. Rankin and County Attorney Reid,
while Attorneys Lee L. Callaway of
Great Falls and M. M. Duncan and
A. E. Farley of Virginia City, repre
sent Keel.

might do so before making his state
ment to the jury.
Promptly at 7 o'clock Judge Ben
nett announced court was in session.
Attorney General Rankin read the
information filed against John Keel
i to the jury. He then made his state
ment, which in substance was as fol
lows :
That the state would show' that on
September 16, 1921, James Grant was
foreman at the Greenback mine, that
ho had 30 men under his direction and
that the defendant Keel was employed
as a timber cutter and not under
Grant's control. - He said that on this
day Grant was shot by the defendant
who inflicted wounds from which
Grant died. Grant was a strong, vig
orous man, pleasant, easy-going and
never quarrelsome and that just prior
to the shooting Grant had gone to
the bunkhouse to tell Chris Sorenson
that he would be needed to work in
the mine that afternoon. When he
entered Sorenson's room, Mike O'
Brien was also in the room. While
in Sorenson's room Keel came to the
door and after a few remarks made
the statement that he had a notion
to "tip you over," referring to Grant,
the attorney said. In apparent good
nature Grant grappled with Keel.
They wrestled for some time, and
Grant threw him to the floor.
After Grant had let Keel up, Keel
followed him into the hall and made
the statement, "I can throw you for
$50 or for $500." They again wrest
led and in the struggle Keel's head
was jammed through the compo board
that lined the inside of the building,
cutting his face. This was witnessed
by O'Brien and Charles Williams, Mr.
Rankin said. After they wrestled,
Grant left the building and went up
the hill toward the mess-hall, a dis
tance of about 125 feet. After Grant
Keel remained in the bunk house,
Grant going to the mid-day meal.
Due to dyspepsia Grant ate but lit
tle. He soon left the table and start
ed down the hill toward the bunk
house.
Mr. Rankin then stated that all of
the trouble between Grant and Keel
was through by belief by Keel that
Grant termed him a stool-pigeon. That

stocl pigeon and get away with it.
As Grant left the mess-hall Keel left
the bunk house to go up the hill.
They met about mid-way between
the buildings and it was there that
Keel fired his first shot, which struck
Grant in the neck, severing the jugu
lar, the attorney declared. There were
two more shots in rapid succession
and Grant fell, he said. Keel was
then seen by those in the mess-hall as
he stood over Grand and fired three
more shots into his head, Grant had
fallen with his head down hill against
a smaH sappling. About 20 seconds
after Grant had left the table, the
shooting occurred. Mr. Rankin said,
and there were absolutely no signs of
any trouble or a scuffle where the
killing took place.
A man named Bareither, who has
a prospect a short distance away, saw
Keel come out of the bunk house and
heard the shot but did not see Grant
fall as the tree obstructed his view,
the lawyer stated.

That the utmost care be exercised in

sanitary board without any hindrance
or any restrain whatsoever; and
whereas all other taxes are both lev

legislators; we therefore express our
disapproval of such procedure.
