Mr. Charles IS. Mont joinery, one
of Lincoln's foremost citizens,

prominent real estate man of Salt
Lake City and a member of the
Utah territorial legislature. The
tragedy occurred at 7::$0 and was
witnessed by a larjjfe number of
quests. The affair is the most sen-
Maiionai ni.it lias ever occurred in

MKS. IK VINE CONFESSES.
The intelligence of his wife's di--
honor, he snid, almost drove him
crazy, still he was loth to believe it.
That Montgomery, his intimate and
close friend, had deliberate!- done
him this great wrong was incompre
hensible, lie determined to know
the worst and on Monday he took
the 2:40 p. m. train for Chicago
where his wife was to meet him with
their little (laughter and they were
then to go east and spend the sum
mer on the seashore. He arrived in
Chicago on Tuesday and confronted

that had readied him. Mrs. Irvine I
broke down and confessed every
thing. She made a statement in
writing acknowledging her faith

Lincoln with the intent, as he says,
of consulting Attorney Abbott in
relation to the proper course forln ui
to pursue. IIearriedin the city on

camera
of his brain. With the sight of the
happy home of other days and the
knowledge that his life was ruined

Abbott's residence, and not lindiii"-
liim up, came down town and went
directly to the Lincoln hotel, where

8TOKY OK THE SIIOOTIXG.
The particulars of the shooting,
as related by eyewitnesses, are to
the effect that Irvine entered the
dining room of the Lincoln hotel
and hurriedly glancing around saw
Montgomery seated at a table at
the right of the entrance, facing to
tne south. He stepped quickly to
ward the table when Montgomery
looked up and started to rise to his
feet. Juick as a flash Irvine drew a
revolver from his hip pocket and
tired twice in rapid succession.
Montgomery staggered around the
table over to the entrance of the
dining room and then fell, and with
a moan expired. In the meantime
Mr. I. 1$. Smith wrested the revol
ver from Irvine. The latter drew
some papers from his pocket and
holding them up, exclaimed:
'Gentlemen. I killed that man be
cause he ruined my family, and
here are the papers that tell the
story."
The body of the murdered man
was removed to parlor C to await
the coming of the coroner. Dr.
Hurnett. leader of the Archer band,
was in the hotel and made an exam
ination of the body. One of the balls
entered ) st to the lett of the left
nipple, struck a rib and glanced
under the skin across to about two
inches below the right nipple, from
which point it was removed. Tht
oiner ball entered between the left
nipp.'e ami the breast bone, probab
ly grazing the left verticle of the
heart and lodging to the left of the
spinal column. Death was caused
by internal hemorrhage.
After Irvine had been taken to the
police station he implored the ofii

Montgomery and Irvine were on

aroused more than usual interest,
audit is safe to say that the most
sacguine anticipations regarding
these people were fully realized.
The thread of the coiiiedy is neatly
