Papa lias always been good to you, if you would only be. good to him." There tbe little childin the presence of her mother, was a witness to thn transaction between the mother and Montgomery. It would seera to me that that would be a Mow sufficient to cruah any man's mind. It would stem to me the relations existing between he and Montgomery and tho advantage taken by Montgomery over Irvine's wife and bringing bhame and disgrace udou his litLe daughter was enough to craze any man. Now we find Mr. Irvine at this time in Chicago with all the burdens brought to bear upon him, with all the influence of a broken home, a ruined wife and a little daughter with a stigma upon her that can never be effaced. What would he do? What was it natural .for him to do? He must seek consolation somewhere; some-thing must be done to relieve him. W hat would a man do under such circumstances i He would look somewhere for consolation Mr. Abbott dwelt for some time upon the warmth of the relations existing for year between himself and the defendantand the probability that he wou'.d come to him in trouble ere he would turn to his delicate old father or his sister, and Irvine came to Lincoln to consult with him and not to meet Montgomery. ' THE HISTORY OF THE CASE As Presented by 91. C. Abbott, Counsel for the Defease. The prostrated wires rendered it impossi-ble in the forepart of the Irvine trial to give in full the outline of the defense. Mr. Ab-bott outlined it as follows: Mr. Irvine is a man who has borne a repu-tation that is equal to any one in this com-munity. He h&i a strong attachment for his friends, particularly strong for his wife aud family. He has . enjoyed the confidence of everyone iu every community in whicli he has lived. In Salt Lake City he so installed himself into the hearts of the peo-ple of that county that in 1891 he was elected to the territorial legislature of Utah, and has served one session in that legislature. That session commenced along in the first part of January and continued until about the lirst part of April. During that time his wife was making her visit, and during that time there frequently passed between them friendly and loving communications. It was understood between them that as soon after the adjournment of the lefriala- - ture as possible he would join his familj at Marian and make an extended visit through the East. About the 18th or 19th of May we find Mr. Irvine in Salt Lake City and his wife in Marian, Ind. The Sunday following the 18th of May he arrived in Lincoln feeling happy because he was soon to be united to his family. Upou stepping from the train he met a friend and in conversation with him the friend said: "I met your family not long ago and had a very pleasant visit with them on the train to Chicago," and he added: "Mont was along." Irvine said: "Mont who?" . "Why, Montgomery." Air. Irvine thought not particularly about it at the time, al-though it attracted his attention somewhat for the reason that after his wife left Salt Lake, in looking over matters at the house, he found a slip of paper upon which was written the name of C. E. Alontgomery among her papers. QUESTIONED HIS WIFE. Hardly suspicious, but naturally curious, he proceeded to Chicago and questioned his wife. The response was: "We stopped at the Grand Pacific hotel." "Did you register at the hotel? I have got evidence in my pocket that you did not stop at the Grand Pacific hotel. Now Addie, I want you to tell me the truth about this matter." She still insisted that they did stop at the Grand Pacific hotel. "Well," he said, "all right. Just come with me and we will go down and look over the register and see if we can find it." Then see broke down. She sail: "No, Will, I will tell you the truth about it. We did Dot stop at the Grand Pacific hotel. We went to the Grace hotel and took rooms there, and stayed that day and the next night." The husband asked her and sue told him that this matter between her and Montgomery, the friendship or relation ex-isting between her and Montgomery, had commenced as far back as 188, the first, I think, being at Salt Lake City, when they were making their first visit there. It com-menced at what they call Garfield Beach, a bathing place upon the shores of the Great Salt Lake. She told how she sat in the pa- vilion when Mr. Irvine was in bathinr and Mr. Alontgomery commenced making love to her. Among other things, he told her that Air. Irvine was keeping and visiting lewd women of the city. He told her of instances wherein he was spending his nights and his money in the support of other women; told her about bis own business, the amount of money he was worth, what he was willing to do with it, how free he would be with it in caring for her and sought to induce her Jo leave Air. Irvine and go to New Alexico and live with him. He told, her that Air. Irvine did not love her or care for her; that he was de-voted to his business as well as to other women, and that he cared nothing for her and did not love her, but that he, Alontgom-ery, was the only man that did love her, and the only one who could make her hamy in his love. Air. Abbott then detailed the friendly of-fices rendered Alontgomery by Irvine and their intimacy, saying: Irvine made Alontgomery's acquaintance some time in 1886, and from that time on up to the time of his death he was recognized as one of his bast friends. His home had al-ways been open to him. Time and time again had he visited, ate at his table and warmed by his fireside. He was a man much older than Mr. Irvine, from 45 to 50 years of age. HIS WARM FRIEND. Mr. Irvine looked upon him as a man of extended experience and nearly always con-sulted his friend, Air. Montgomery, before he entered Into any business undertaking, and has always looked upon him as a friend and a brother. He Introduced him to his wife. The door of his house had always been open to him. Alontgomery visited him in Salt Lake. All this time, it seems now, Air. Montgomery had been playing upon the affections of his wife, taking advantage of the opportunities afforded by the husband FROM HIS OWN LIPS. Irvine Relates the Story of the Tragedy on the Witness Stand, Betrayed by His Best Friend, Stung by the Indignity Heaped Upon Him, and the Dis-grace Brought Upon Those Dearer to Him than All Else on Earth, and Crazed by the Ruin Wrought in His Home, He Rushed to Lincoln Impelled by an Irresistible Im-pulse. mother, when she has had intercourse with another man?" The wife cried out, "i'li. never io it again r and repeated it. The mother said, "If you take her back it will be noble act in you; God wiil bless you for- - it." She talked about ' the eftcct it would have on Flossie. . Witness said: "I love my daughter dearly. I bought a beautiful cloak for her in Denver, which I gave her mother thai night." About 1 o'clock on Wednesday witness started for Lincoln, thinking he had only one true friend iu the whole world and that was Mr. N. C. Abbott. He waited to see him throw his arms around her neck and ask her for God's sake to help him. All through the night beautiful dreams of his child came to him, although he slept not. - Once he saw her though when she had grown to womanhood. She was passing the German National bank; Montgomery stood on the corner of Twelfth and O streets looking searchingly at witness and her daughter. The latter passed hanging her head in memory of tho terrible night at hotel Grace. The doors of the court room were locked be-fore 2 o'clock this afternoon, on account of immense crowd, mostly ladies, present. The defendant took the stand and was crit-ically cross-examine- d by McCuliough on his possession of the revolver, his obtain-ing the ticket at Chicago for Lincoln and then again about tho red ball that wit-ness described as following him on the fatal morning and its bursting. He claimed that he did not feel wrong against Montgomery while on the train to Lincoln, but was think-ing of his family. When Montgomery was thought of at all it was with the idea of, "Oh, how could you ruin my family after having ripen as cood a friend to vou as I- . 0 have been." DR. T. B. EASTMAN', and superintendent and physician at the in-sane asylum, after a practice of thirty years, confined exclusively to the study of mind diseases, testified to the definition of techni-cal medical terms and fully explained tran-sitory frenzy and transitory mania. A hy pothetical question was then asked by Judge Powers which occupied thirty-fiv- e minutes to read, reviewing the history nud career of the defendant. At its conclu-sion. Dr. Eastman unqualifiedly swore that under the conditions named, W. H. Irvine was laboring under the disease known as transitory mania, and was insane at the time of firing the fatal shot. He was not capable of controlling his actions and not in a condition of mind to control his actions. The disease in the family forms a factor in arriving at the decision. Lixcoln, Neb.,OcL18. Special After 4 o'clock yesterday, after Irvine was placed on the stand to testify, his testimony was fre-quently interrupted by his tears as he made a public detail of his domestic life. He gave a dramatical sketch up to the time of his de-parture from Salt Lake last May, and his firm assurances of never having doubted his wife's fidelity tip to that time, impressed the jury and audience with the truthfulness of the same. His description of the parting scene at the depot at Salt Lake, when his wife and daughter were leaving for the East in February, brought tears to all eyes, making a vivid picture of his little daughter throwing kisses from the car window, the mother crying and the father running to the end of the platform and returning the child's farewell, comfort-ing his wife and taking a last glimpse . at the departing loved ones. Irvine received a letter from his wife, stating she was afraid she was going to have the same trouble which caused her sister's death. So he hastily disposed of his busi-ness before starting, hoping that a traveling vacation would afford pleasure to the family and remove his wife's gymptpna of disease. On the 19th of May he started East, stopped a day in Denver, then came to Lincoln. At the depot a friend told him he had seen Mrs. Irvine on the train to Chicago some time previous and with Montgomery. They had all played cards together. The next day he went to Omaha and called on Mrs. Austin, Lis wife's sister, expecting to see his wife's mother, but she bad returned to Marion, Ind. Mrs. Austin in conversation said that Addie had told her mother she had been de-layed in Chicago coming on late trains, but Mrs. Austin claimed she knew better, be-cause Addie bad told her she was going to lay over cad have a good time. In none of his" wife's letters had she re-ferred to having seen Montgomery on the trip. The witness left Austin's house and went to the Paxton hotel, expecting to take the train for Lincoln, but found that none went out at night. He then walked nround r town, and after church returned to Austin's where Mrs. Austin said almost abruptly: 'Will, I've ben thinking about what I told you. aud I don't believe Addie stopped over iu Chicago on purpose." This made hisa think there was something back of it, and he went down and wired to his wife: "How are you Garfield beach and out driving with his family. In great anguish Irvine said: "I think I was as good a friend of Mr. Montgomery as he ever had." Resuming the thread of his story, witness said that his wife told him that this had been going on ever since ISsS. This fell like a heavy blow on the witness' head and dazed him. It commenced while they were all at the beach and witness was bathing. He first made love to her and paid attention. At that time she said there were a thousand other women who did the same thing. He mentioned the names of the parties. One lady went to Indianapolis to see her lover, another went to Omaha, and one of whom had been found in bed with another man by her husband, and he had taken her back. Witness was shocked and surprised, thinking it impossi-ble that this thing tNj been going on. She asked witness what he was going to do with her, and he said: "You won't take Flossie from me; will you?" Witness told her she was not fit to have Flossie, and asked her if she had sent Flossie with the nurse when Montgomery was with her. He then related how his little daughter had waked up, and on seeing Montgomery there said: "Mamma, you don't like that man, do you? Papa is good to you and will be good to you if you will only be good to him." Then Flossie arose, put her little arms around her mother's neck and stood in the window in that position until daylight. She awoke about midnight and Montgomery shortly afterwards left. Witness BROKE DOWN COMPLETELY while testifying to his daughter's fidelity and his wife's sin. , She related to the wit-ness how in Montgomery's room at Hotel Grace he caught her while passing him, drawing her down to him between his legs, throwing his arm around her neck, and she in turn putting her arm around his ' neck, and there kissing each other. After this fearful recital he asked her whom she wanted, her mother or brother. She replied: "Oh, not Henry, for he would kill me." He then went to the room door and che said she would follow him. He told her not to do that, and 6he passed out ahead, saying she would commit suicide. He told her not to do that. He then went to Hotel Grace, examined ail? Lincoln Come soou. Where did you Btop in Chicago? Address care Abbott." The next day he went to Lincoln and made several calis and received a telegram from hi wife as fol-lows: "Grand Pacific; shall I meet you there; Hurry; ccrue; stop with mother." The witness' mind was relieved to quite an cxteut, but to make sure he telegraphed to the Grand Pacific: "At what time and how long was Airs. W. H.Irvine and child of Salt Lake at your hotel?" Sometime between Febru-ary 18 and Alarch 10. Later in the day he was in the German National bank when this message was handed him: "Do not-fin-same on our book. Signed Drake, Parker & Co." This snsettled and unnerved him. He went to Abbott's office and said he had to leave for Chicago at once. WThile on the train he wired his wife: "Meet me at Wel-lington hotel, Chicago." That 4y he did not eat anything or 6leep at night. He arrived at Chicago about 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Before going to the Wellington he went to the Grand Pacific and examined the register, hoping to find the wifs right and the hotel wrong. He found she had not been there previ-ous to that time. He never had a suspicion of his wife's truthfulness. Then he went to his wife's room in Wellington. She was in the middle of the room and ran toward the witness' arms to greet him cor-dially. He stopped her and said he first wanted to have a talk and settle some mat-ters. Judge Powers had been conducting the examination of the witness and when he asked witness what she said, AlcCullough ob-jected on legal grounds to any discussion by the latter. Objection overruled. Adjourned. This Morninff. The court room was crowded with ladies. Irvine's appearance was more cairn than yesterday upon entering, but several times he completely broke down and the agony of soul endured by him was appreciated by all in room. Resuming his testimony he tes-tified when witness said he wished to talk with her, she asked what was the matter with him and what he wanted. She acted nervous when he asked her to recount her trip to Chicago. She dwelt on the rail-road wreck, when he told her to talk of her trip from Omaha to Chicago. She said she met Mr. Stull, and witness thought she said a gentleman from Omaha who lives close to her relatives there, and an old lady. All of them played cards. Witness asked her If she met anyone else she knew. At first she denied it, then she said Montgomery was on the train, too. She claimed she staid at the Grand Pacific that day and night and paid $3 for her bill. Wit-ness told her he bad something in his pocket which said she was not at that hotel. Her re-ply was: "Well, we stopped there, anyway." Witness said: "Will you go with me there and we will see about it?" At first she de-clined to answer,hen PHE BROKE DOWS, turned her head and said: "Ed said some one who knows you might see us there and 1 tell your husband, whereas if you are seen I there and he asks me I caa say I was there with roy sister." Witness had introduced his wife to. Montgomery whom he always es-teemed as a friend, consulted with him in ' ' business and when he had visited in Salt Lake was a guest of witness, who had given ; hint a small dinner while there, took, him to the register after paying the clerk 5 for the privilege because the proprietor did not al-low it. He found the date and register be-fore reported. Then he examined the rooms and saw they were connected by a door. When he returned to the hotel he found his wife lying on the bed. She did not an-swer to a knock at the door. lis spoke to her but received no answer; then he shook her. Tho odor of chloroform was strong in the room. Finally he aroused her, and the conversation was resumed. He then sent a telegram to her mother to come on without delay. The wife told him Montgomery had cor-responded with her, calling her sweetheart; has always been kind to her, paid her a lot of attention, told her his business and once told her the bank was going to fail, but not to let her husband know. He took her out riding and said he husband did not treat her right, paid too much attention to his business and that he and Dr. Lawton had followed witness one night to a bad house. She explained HOW THE ASSIGNATION IN CHICAGO WAS ARRANGES. She was going into Richter's tailoring establishment ro see about her husband's clothes when Montgomery had stepped out of his bank and asked her in to see the picture her husband had sent him. It was a photograph of the natural gas wells near Salt Lake. . Alont-gomery then asked ber to let him know when she went to Chicago and he would go too. She wrote him from Omaha. While on the train he handed her a card with his name on it and the name of Airs. J. H. Aiiller. Witness, then told his wife he did not want to do her an Injustice, and asked her if she would write what she had said. She agreed and made several attempts to write her statement. Once she stopped and said: "Well, I will tell you all the truth, if you will take me back." Witness told her he did not want to take any advantage of her. Then mother came at half-pa- st eight in the evening and asked at the depot what was the matter with Addie and said it was not possible that her daugh-ter had been untrue. Witness took the mother to room door, but did not go in. Some time after he went in and the mother said: "I would RATHER HAVE FOUND MT DAUGHTER DEAD and taken her back a corpse than found this out." She inquired who Alontgomery was. Witness told her, "a friend of mine," and when mother heard he was over forty years old, she said "he was too old a man to ruin my daughter. Addie will not admit of the criminal act, but circumstances are so plain there is no doubt about it. I don't want to take her back but she is my own flesh and blood, and I will have to try and make a woman of ber." Alotber is an old woman and very feeble, too old for such terrible trouble. They didn't go to bed until after midnight A 1.1. KNELT DOWN and mother prayed. Woke np about 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, went to wife's room. Mother was in her night dress, the wife in day dress lying across the bed. The mother was afraid the wife was going to have brain fever. Witness went out and walked the streets alone, thinking of the trouble. Upon his return tho mother asked if he would take her back aad he answered, "How can I, facturers were finding their market her !to tha ruin of oar own industries? Oh, no; bat when our own manufacturers were supplying our own market with articles under a high tariff cheaper' than had ever been ofiered them, they raise sk' calamity howl ot robbery till joa can't rest.

Mr. Hopkins then read a telegram stating that the territory from Cache in the north to St. George in the soath was on a wave of Re-publican enthusiasm, and asking if Summit would fall in line, and ''yes" went up from every throat in the audience.

Ladies and gentlemen, he said, it gives me pleanre to address the largest political meeting ever held in Summit connty. Applane.

Mr. Hopkins then introduced to the audience a young Kepublican who, he said, had won laurels abroad, MR. ALLISON', who said that he felt that he owed the peo-ple of Coalville an apology, first, because he had been heard so often, and second for presuming to stand before the same people who had recently had the honor of listening to the mighty voice of Mr. Young, which, according to the Salt Lake Herald, could be heard from Coalville to Aiorgan and Park City. He had hoped to hear the remains of that mighty voice still reverberating among the hills; but nothing:, not even one little weak echo, remained. Laughter and ap-plause. But, said he, thank God even this man with the mighty voice and his tall frteud hae but one vct each. Applaune. There are to candi-dates before us representing the two gret na-tional parties in Utah. One of these candidates if standing upon a platform which ADVOCATSS ABSOLUTE FSK K TRADE! which declare that the people of the United States and of Utah should patronize the indus-tries and the workmen of other countries, no mat-ter what becomes of our own ; a platform and can-didate that deelsres for free lead and free wool. The other candidate stands upon a platform which declares AGAINST FREE TRADE; which declares for the protection and maintcn- - ence of home industries and home workmen. Great applause. The Democracy never dc'oired absolutely for free trade until at the Chicago con-vention this year. In 1364 Grover Cleveland de-clared for "incidental protective" tariff. This ytar, howeTer, he dwlares in fa .or of free trade. The Kepublican party has never yet hedged on the protective tariff question, but has always etoju by it. Jt seems to me impossible that the people of Utah, inu-iliee- a I know thein to be, rhonld be mostly Democrats, a the free trade partT claims and 1 don't believe they are "No, no,'' if the people who attend the Republican meetings ail over the territory are Republicans. Applause. The Democratic convention was a COWARDLY CROWD, for it dared not declsre itself on the lead or wool questions, and its plat-form is discreetly silent on these two most important points. Anplause. Look at the nlutffrms of the two Darties. at their cul didates. nnd choose which of thm shall receive your suffrages next November. Great applause. Mr. Hopkins, the chairman, then said: I take pleasure, ladies and centlemen, in in-troducing to yon the man who, if our trood wishes and oar votes can pat him there, will be our next delegate to congress. HON. FRANK J. CANNON. Air. Cannon was greeted with cheers as he came forward. As my friend Allison has told yon, he said, we stand upon a platform which says we love the American workman, whether naturalized or na-tive born, better than we do the workman of any other country. Applause. We believe that the moment a man strike the God-blesse- d soil of free America he becomes of more value than the workman of any other land under the enn. Great applause. And this is a principle the people of L'tah have always believed in. Tiiey have ALWAYS BELIBVED IN PROTECTION, in the fostering of home industries, and the giv-ing of bounties for that pnrpose- - yet some of thete people still call themselves Democrats be-cause someone in the pact handed them over to toe Democrat bodily, without their knowledge or consent. Then national politics did not affect these people and they did not protest. But they are protesting now, and I hare entire confidence that they will stand by the glorious precepts and convictions of a lifetime rather than to cast those convictions away for THE LYING NAXX that has been pat upon them by the Democracy. Tremendous applause. We are going through the territory now asking the people to discard that lying name and stand by tke Kepublican prin-ciples tkey have always advocated, and they are doing it. Cheers. The policy of the Democ-racy of buying where you can buy the cheap-est is the most infamous doctrine that was ever given to mankind. Thomas Car-lvl- e said that when England went into free trade (he went into competition with all that is cheap and nasty. Great applauoe. The wave of misrepresentation regarding the tariff which has been swept over this territory by the Democracy is appalling, and it was started for the purpose of frightening the people Into their ranks. Have Democrats ever gone through f . f t ,i,v y r, --. i i .(. THE LEGAL LEXICON. Eliza T. Higg-- Sues for an Absolute Divorce. . - RAILWAY COMPANIES AT WAR. The reat Salt Lake A Hot Springs Hues the Itapsd Transit for Dam-ages To Forrlose a Mortgase For Machinery Purchased Business Transacted In Judge Zane's Court ; A Prisoner Arraigned Probate Proceedings Court Xotes. It was on December 25, 1891, that Eliza T. Iligsfs was married to David Higgs in this city, and a few days later, the bride's dreams of domestic bliss were shattered and the honeymoon suffered a total eclipse. Of course David was to blame. Eliza says that ever since her marriage he has wilfully neg-lected to provide her with the common necessaries of life, although abund-antly able to do so, and has compelled her to live upon the charity of friends. Now Eliza wants a change, and brierht and early this morning she planted suit agsinst David in the Third district court asking for an absolute decree of divorce. Evidently she thinks that this relief will complete her happiness, for she does not incumber her prayer with a request for alimony. A. V. Taylor is the plaintiff's attorney. Railway Companies at War.

David Kerr, a fighter, who formerly re-sided at Provo, was arrested this morning for disturbing the peace of his wife and making threats to do bodily harm. The parties reside at 712 Fourth West street, and Kerr, who is of unsound mind, became in-toxicated on alcohol this morning and pro- ceeded to run the house, a big revolver aid-ing him in accomplishing his object. His wife, now that he is in jail, declines to prosecute him, but it Is said Airs. Winters of 451 West Seventh South street will see that he is either punished or placed where he can do no harm.
