If this viper of suspicion had not found a
lodging- place lu the breast of I'crry Mont
gomery ho nncl his -wife , Silvia , would ho
alive toJay , nnd possibly happy , Instead of
lying dc.id nt tbo morgue , disfigured with
bullet wounds nnd covered with their own
blood subjects of idle tonveisutlou nnd ho
of vinlv ritiil condemnation.
I'orry Montgomery vvas""n familiar figure to
the habitues of the saloons nnd kindred re
sorts of Omaha. Ho was .1 colored man and
in many ot these places during the past few
ycirs lias served in the capacity of porter
ntiit geucral roustabout. He , together with
his wife , a comely quadroon , nnd their
) oung daughter , IHanche , came to Omaha
seven jc.lisago from St. Joseph. Montgom
ery found employment in u saloon nnd his
wife went tow oik us chambermaid in u
bagnio on Ninth stieet.
For n tlmo the affairs of the Montgomery
family flowed serenely along. Montgomery
woikcd steadily nnd was never without cm-
plojnuit. Hut nbout n year nto ( there was n
change , The in in took to drinking nnd gam
bling and became dissolute generally. Ills
demeanor towiuls bis wife changed and fiom
an orebnaiily kiudhusbaud ho bccimo uca-
piicioua iifustcr ,
. IIo gave no specific reason for this nltera-
tlon of conduct until ono day ho accused his
wife with consotting-with n negro named
Tnn Ilowman In violation of her tnnrringo
vow B. Itovvimin will bo remembered os the
negro n ho killed Jack Kinney last winter in
his saloou. Montgomery lived at 1017 Doug-
liis street nnd Uovvui.in's saloon -was nearly
directly across that thoroughfare from his
residence. Ills suspicions hud become
aroused in someway nguinst his wife nnd ho
insisted that slio had been unfaithful to him
with How'm in. The w oniaii indignantly de
nied these cluirgcs.
licmimm hecauio engaged in the trouble
witli Kinuoy , wns arrested , tried r.ud no-
quitted on the ground of self defense nnd left
Omaha , but jiiiously still rankled In Mont-
gomcr's heiut , nnd whenever ho took n
drink , ho would renew the charges of infi
delity against his wifo.
lie lost situation after situation ami finally
left oft \volking \ or attempting tovvoikand
endeavored to gain a Jivlibood by the do-
c-idcdlyvlcalious rficthod of gambling. Ills
vvifo contimiod to work at Nellie King's
Dining tbo past four or llvo months Mont-
gniiifiy has grown moro and more abusive
and tliotyvo quiurelcd whenever they came
together.
The woman has liecn working In the
day time ptlneipally , during the
pist few vvpcks , and generally
rctutncd homo at 0o'clock in the evening.
There weio other colored women working lu
the sumo liouso as she , and they began to no
tice that vv hen Sylvia came to vtork In the
moi nlng Mio frequently looitcd tired and ill.
1 hey inquired of her as to tlio cause , and to
one or two she confessed that upon such oc
casions her husband had quuriclcd with her
duiing the entire night.
A few mornings ago slio said to ono of her
associates : "I don't know ns you will sco mo
again after today , as Pony tliieatciicd to kill
me ag iln last night. "
Shu also told the women tint her husband
hud secured a rcn oHer and had taken it dovvn
on the liver fiont to test its shooting capabil
ities. She got hold of the ivcupon twice nnd
hid It , hut her liusbmd found the pistol both
times and at last used it vv ith tonlblo effect.
Tuchduy night all the trouhlo ended.
Slvla letuiued Jiomo from her work bc-

of tJio woden ShnntyJi [ } which they lived.
Their datightcr slept up stairs and across
"
the "hall from their room n frenchman
named Jules Miv ert liUcl his lodging1 plafio.
They all retired to their rooms , presumably
to sleep.
Vivert nnd the girl were aroused during
the night by pistol shots The firing of re-
volvcis by dumkou men for deviltry is not
unu < .tiul in the neighborhood , and the girl ,
piesuinjupj that tuo noise came fiom the
sti cot-paid llttlo heedto it , rohYd over and
was soon again peacefully sleeping.
Vlve.it also hcaul the bhots , nnd ,
like the girl , thought that the
reports came fiom the street. Ho
arose mid looked out of a side door , but dis
covered "nothing nnd retained to hed. Imme
diately afterwards ho heard the clock iu the
Comincicial bank building striKe four and
then ho fedl asleep.
But n tcrilblo tragedy had been enacted
vvitrdn those few minutes , the honor of
which was not revealed until the sun was
high In the heavens nnd all the citwvas astir.
Among the women who woilud at King's ,
Sl\ia Montgomery hnd for her paiticulnr

Sunday last during child biith while at
tended by Mrs. Fenn , a motnphjslcnl practi
tioner , was held by Deputy Coroner Miutln
jcatoiday morulng-at Durkct's undeitaking

The case had attracted considerable atten
tion and n great mmty were congregated about
the pheo of the Inquest to hear the testi
mony.

A delay of two hours was earned hy the
non-nppoaianco of the city attorney , who
had beim called upon hy the deputy cjroner
to conduct the examination. When ho
filially appeared ho declined to conduct the
examination on the fro u ml that It was not
his duty , and It proceeded without him ,
Mrs. Jeiiiilorennwasiopicsentcdby Judge
Daldnln and was the llrst witness ex
amined.
In reply to n quoitlon as to Mrs. Lemon's
condition when she llrst saw her , she 10-
replied tlmt it was "vciy haunonlous. "
Tno coroner then put some medical ques
tions , to which she i etui nod confused
answers. She had been called nbout 1 a. m. ,
and tbe child was not delivered until
ucaily noon. At delivery every
. thing , was "all right. " feho uld nothing
after the child was delivered and was not lu
the habit of manipulating with the hands
She worked thiough the science of metaphy
sical science or mind healing. Mrs. Lemon
dleet about two or tlneo hours after the child
was born. Mrs. IVnn iiuulo no examination
as to the patient's tempoi.Uuro orpulso , "as
it was notneecssaiy in tin understanding of
mind " In explaining how she operated Mis.
renn said she only diignoscd the mind and
p lid no attention to pulse or tompoiatmo.
How she did this she said she could not ex
plain to any ono unless they "had the under-
standlygoi mind. "
The coroner insisted on her talking plain
English and unking clear what her method
was , but Judge lialdwin objbeted to going
into any details of this Kind.
The coroner replied that in order to know
the cause of doatli It was necessary that the
tieatmcnt bo known.
Judge Baldwin delivered a lengthy disser
tation on Chilstian science ) and said tlio cor
oner had no right to require Mrs Fenn to go
Into a detailed explanation of the power she
used.
In reply to another question Mrs. renn s dd
she Imd studied the science of faith i-uio in
Boston.
She could not tell the condition of the woman
after delivery as slio had not made unv ex iin-
fi fI Inatlon. I She Mud : "It is mind I tioat , and
not mutter. "
The coroner Insisted on knowing just what
she had dona
, 'Slio replied by reciting in a dramatic man
ner the principles ot the faith she advocated ,
retelling lo the injunction ol Jesus Christ to
his followers to go foith aud heal the sick us
her authoilty.
Shu considered the cau o of death to bo
hcait failure , produced through fear.
At this point Assistant County Attouiey
Shea came in nud took part In the examina
tion.
IIo went rapidly over the giound already
covered and insisted on knowing what the
treatment hud been. Tbo only tlmo she had
used her hands had been when the child wns
bom was her answer to his nuastion. The
rest of her treatment was ' -of the mind. "
Air. Shea asked If she attended the de
ceased in the eapicity of a midwife , hut Mrs.
Fenn xefused to answer under Judge Bald
win's direction , who held that his client was
a mind inldwilo and not n physical midwitc.
She said , in lonly to turther questions , that
she Imd been calffd to attend the woman dur
ing ehildbiith to deliver her of a child. All
she did was to sit by the bedside. She had
not made any examination as it was not nec
essary.
In reply to questions as to whether Mrs
Lemon suffered piinshonnswc'ieiliii a vague
way bv rofcriing to her stock tbcoiy that
"tho mind controlled all "
About an hour and n half after the child
w as bom Mrs. Fenn noticed that Mis Lemon
seemed "troubled. " She moved hoi haul to
her hoait und signed to Mrs. Fenn to "tient1
her. Mis. IVnn asked her if thoiowassomo
tioublo with her heait , nncl the patient 10
piled that thcio was. She asked the patient
if theiowas hcait failure and tlio pitlcnt
said thoio was. Mrs Fonn then proceeded
to "treat" her pitient , but what thotic.it-
mcnt was no ono know. Very soon the
patient sank and the witness thought it was
' only a fainting spoil. " bho Summoned us-
sistancotmd continued the "ticatmcnt. "
Mr. Shea then asked a fovv questions about
the medical aspect of the case. Mrs. renn
replied with tlio astonishing statement Unit
tbo "blood had in life-giving piopoities. "
She sniii sbo held that "God was life "
She declined to say what was the cause of
Mis , Lemon's death.
One of the juiy asked If the witness had
ever studied anatomey , physiology , the use
of surgical Instruments , the functions of the
body , or had any hospital expcilcncc , or had
over studied medicine Toallofthcao ques
tions she irpllcd that she Imd not.
Dr. L. \Villluns was the no\t witness ,
IIo. had been called by telephone anil reached
the house sbon alter Mrs Lemon died IIo
found a lingo tumor llko appearance of the
abdc-mcn and nt llrst thought the child had
not been delivered. An examination showed
him that the appearance was not duo ton

quainted with her constitution.
IIo was tola thcro wns no hemorihngo , hut

Dr. Wllcox was called. IIo hid made a post

other organs. His opinion wns that the
women had died of hemoirlingo of some kind.

natural and the patient appeared to test com
