EXHIBIT BULLETS IN THE SCHUTTE MUEDER CASE Middiqtownp Oct. 12.—Ruckshot and, bullets said to have been taken from the grayes of Joseph, Mary and Jacob Ball were offered in evidence by the state to- day In the trial of Emil Schutt, stor keeper of Shallerville, who s charged with the murder of the thres members of the Ball family on December 10, 1915. bodles of Mr. and Mrs. Ball and thelr son were found in the charred ruins of thelr home. The state witnesses today told of exhuming gf the bodies last sum- mer and the search among the bones and dust for evidence that they had not been burned to death, but had been shot down and their bodies tnrown into the blazing shack. Eleven lead pellets described as buck- shot and three leaden objects classified as bullets were offered as exhibits. Super- intendent Hurley of the state police; Phillp Arnold of Haddam; and State Po- licemen Frank M. Nichols and Arthur M. Piunelll were the chief witnesses for the state. Buperintendgnt Hurley testified that he visited Schutte in the Haddam jail on May 20 and asked him several questions. Witness quated Schutte as saying: “You seem to have. enough information to send me to Jail for two hundred years.” Ob- jection to this statement by counsel for the defense was overruled by the court. The locating of the bodies of the three members of the Ball family was told by Amnold, who gave details of the appear- ance of the two boxes containing the three bodies, how they were moved to bis barn by the state police and closely examined nine days later. Superintendent Hurley and State Policemen Nichols and Pinnell gave additional testimony dealing with the exhuming of the bodies and the find- Ing of the leaden pellets. Only two skulls were found, the witness said. A orevious witness had stated that the head of Jacob Ball was missing when the bodies were found after the firc. Under cross examination by counsel for the defense Superintendent Hurley admitted that in his capacity as a state policeman he investigated the Ball shack fire in December, 1915. He ‘®aid no ar- rests were made then in connection with the deaths and his investigation did not clear up the case, Edwin Shailer, who testificd eariler in the day, said he heard one shot about 12.30 on the night of the - Ball shack fire and also heard five or shots in rapid suc- cession about 2 a. m. Counsel for the defense placced erphasis in cross ex- amining the witness on the fact that he heard a shot prior to the time fixed by Schutte's son Julius as the hour of the fire.

Knox was attorney gen- eral in the cabinets of Presidents Me- Kinley and Roosevelt, secretary of stat in the cabinet of President Taft, and in the interim between those two offices and afterward was United States senator. Senator Knox was an active figure in the fight in the senate in 1919 and 1920 | against the ratification of the peace | treaty of Versailles. Even when the| treaty was being drawn up he delivered | speeches in the senate and out of it in whick he demanded that the league of nations covenant should be separated from the other part of the treaty. He introduced a resolution to that effect which was adopted by the semate and aiso presented a resolution against the appointment of American representatives | on the reparations commissi He also | drafted one of the submitted to the senate for adop treaty with reservaions. Susbequently Senator Knox was the author of a resolution adopted by the senate in Say. 1920, declaring peace with This also was vetoed by President Wilson. Senator Knox first came into mational prominence when in 1901 President Me- Kinley appointed him as attorney gen- eral.
