Objects to Barker’s Telling of
Statements to Keller.
NEW YORK. June lib—The tihrd day
of the trial of Thomas G. Barker. for
the shooting of the Rev. John Keller.
opened in Judge Blair's court. in Jersey
City. with a crowd of spectators that.
filled the room to the doors. Many
women were present. Counsel for the
defence held a conference before the
proceedings were begun.and decided to
resort to every legal method to get suf-
ficient evidence before jury to leave
no doubt of themotive which prompted
Barker to shoot Keller. County Pros-
ecutor Erwin openly stated that he
would vigorously oppose all attempts to
introduce such testimony. even if of-
fcred by Mrs. Barker. as a witness.
Barker was recalled to the stand. and
in reply to his counsel. began to des-
cribe his movements on the morning of
the shooting. He said he had left home
to buy a newspaper and on Beach
1111 out he met Mr. Keller. who stopped
and said: "Good morning. Mr. Bar-
her "
Witness then straightened tip in his
chair and said: “1 replied to Keller
saying. "You damned viilian. you out-
raged my wife.‘ and I then w."
"1 object. 1 object; stop.stop,” shout-
ed Prosecutor Erwin.
His
The court ruled not to allow further ‘
testimony on this point:’ and Barker
went onto tell what happened after ’
the shooting. He said he jumped on a
carand went to the torts hall at
Kearney. where he surrendered him
self. ‘This was in contradiction of tee-
timony for the statethut he was ac-
' companied by a Mr. Buckley. 'i‘hc'w1t-

but Keller had borrows
t ,
coming to Barker 11 house. Keller often
dined there. and at first invited himself.
and then was always welcons The
unfriendly feeling was very strong for
two weeks before the shooting} but
there was no dispute between witness
and Keller. The money which Keller
had borrowod from Mrs Barker was
paid in installments by Keller. At this
point there was a heated 1111501110111 be-
tween counsel as to the admission of
this testimony the lawyers for the
state vigorous bloating. The court
allowed the in duration or a letter
written by Barker to Keller on Febru-
ary 26. 1000.111 which Barker told the
clergyman that he owed Mrs. Barker
939. and asked him to please return it.
Receiving no answer to the letter Bar;
ker. on March 8. wrote another letter to
Keller Then Keller called at the"
house and paid the money. Barker said
he and his wife and Keller often went
bicycle 1111108 together. and that he had
given a bicycle to Keller? Witness said
he did not know until January that his
wifer had left Mr. Keller“ 8 church ‘
Barker then discovered what
tookr place at the' house where Mr. Kel~
ier was lying when the witness was
taken there from Kearney. He said
that he asked Mr. Keller in a low voice
if he knew him. Mr. Keller was un-
able to recognize him.
Under cross examination Mr. Barker
went over again the story of his meet-
ing with Mr. Keller. on the morning of
the shooting. He said he left his house
at a quarter of 8 o'clock. for the pui-
pose of getting a newspaper.
Mr. Keller coming up Beach street. “i
waited for him." said Barker. “because
i wanted to speak to him. He was
coming toward me."
011 further cross, examination Barker
said he knew that Keller was in the
habit of going to church on Sunday
morning. but he did not have any in-
tention of meeting him on the morning
of the shooting He said that when he
came up to Keller no one else was in
sight. He had the revolver in the right
hand overcoat pocket. and he began to.
shoot after Keller said to him “Good
morning.‘ and he had replied “You
damned villian. you outraged my wife"
He fired four shots. After firing the.
first shot he got closer. lie stood in
front of Keller all the time during the.
shooting. He did not" shoot Keller
while he was lying on the ground.
Herc‘ the revolver was shown to the
witness. and he said it looked like the
one he had used. and which he bought
in New York. in January. He could
not account for his having two loaded
cartridges in his overcoat pocket. after
the shooting. and said he had carried
the revolver for several days previous
to that time. He did not have a permit
to carry a pistol.
and third shots, he said. while Keller
was turning around, and said ”.Don‘t
don t "
All this time Barker said he was in a
dazed condition. but when he saw the
blood flowing from Keller's wounds. he
realized that he had done wrong. and
he gave himself 11p.
He said that he had been unable to
attend to any business since the shoot-
ing.
Barker said he felt justified in shoot-
ing Mr. Keller. having in mind the
wrong done his wife. 0n the Sunday
on which the shooting occurred. he
had been thinking of Keller. He shot
straight at Keller's head. and did not
attempt to hit him in the heart . He
did not know whether or not he wanted
to kill Keller. He saw Keller’s head
and fired at it. After the first shot he
took'no particular aim. Barker said he
had no particular object in buying the
revolver. He felt impelled to do so.
otnd he bought it. He did not think he
knew what he was doing when he shot
Keller. but when he saw the blood on
his face. and saw him lying on the‘
ground. he realized what he had done.
He did not feel sorry for him then. “but
now." he added..“l regret the Whole
thing and its cause. " Barker said he
knew he was taking the law in his own
hands. His wife did not know that he
had the revolver.‘
John 14. Stevens. assistant secretary
of the Commercial Cable Company. in
New York. testified that he was- -ln the ‘
same department with Barker. and that
previous to the shooting he had occl'p
sion to find fault with Barker for mis-
ta as made by him inhis work. He
11111 that some times he would speak
to Barker. and that the latter would
appear not to hear him.
