SAN ANGELO, Jan. 20.—Harry- Span-
nell sobbed aloud when his wife’s name
was mentioned in his trial here this
morning for killing her and Colonel But-
ler at Alpine last July. Mrs. W. H. Har-
rison of Alpine said on the stand thatj
three shots rang out from an automo-
bile in front of her house when she was :
on the porch. She said she heard a wo-
man scream. “Don't Harry,” and later |
saw the body of Mrs. Spanned in the
car.
The most important witness at yes-
terday's session was Mrs. Butler, wid-1
ow of the deceased soldier, who wa# on I
the stand for more than an hour. Her
examination was completed by the state
and the cross-examination was begun I
by the defense this morning.
Mrs. Butler told of the events in the
Alpine hotel just prior to the double
killing and made it clear that Mrs. Span-
ned had been with herself and Colonel
Butler to s»*e a sick woman when Span-
nell's suspicions were aroused and he
upbraided his wife for going with Mrs.
Butler to her room. A few minutes la-i
ter Spanned took his wife and Colonel j
Butler off in his auto. When next wit-1
ness saw her husband he was dead.
