Paul Kelly case

Wagner was the star prosecution witness in the manslaughter trials of actor Paul Kelly and actress/screenwriter Dorothy Mackaye in 1927. Wagner was Kelly's roommate. During an alcohol-fueled party at Wagner and Kelly's apartment on April 16, 1927, Kelly beat to death Mackaye's husband, Ray Raymond, a Vaudeville entertainer. Kelly and Mackaye had been seeing each other for some time before the fight had occurred. Wagner was present when Kelly and Raymond were fighting.''Milwaukee Sentinel''
news.google.com; accessed June 1, 2017. One account reports that Kelly backhanded Wagner when the latter tried to stop him from confronting Raymond. When a Japanese houseboy who had served drinks at the party disappeared before the trial, Wagner testified of finding a note indicating the houseboy's intent to return to Asia. At her own trial several months later, Mackaye testified that Kelly and Raymond had agreed to the fight as a

, and that Wagner was Kelly's second for the duel. At one point, Wagner testified that he brought $800 from Kelly to Mackaye to pay the doctor who attended Raymond before his death, but Wagner denied that this payment was meant as part of a cover-up."Witness Flays Miss Mackaye", ''Detroit Free Press'' (Jun 21, 1927), p. 1. Kelly was convicted of manslaughter but served only two years in prison. Mackaye was sentenced to 10 months in prison on accessory and concealing evidence convictions. Kelly and Mackaye were married after Kelly's release from prison. Wagner and Kelly appeared together in two films after the incident: '' Death on the Diamond'' (1934) and '' Frenchie'' (1950).
