Show KNOW HIM WELL. The Slayer of Ex-Alderman TVhalea anil HU Relation to the Frontier. George Hathaway, the sport who killed ex-Alderman Whalen, of boodle notoriety in Chicago is as well known to a large majority of the Colorado colony col-ony iu Salt Lake as an old shoe. For many years he haunted the mountain towns of the Centennial state where he experienced the usual upsand downs of a professional gambler among the better class, of whom he was never popular. "It's ducats to doughnuts," said Dr. Tulle, "that there was woman in the case. Nothing but a skirt could ever drive him to such an act. He might endure the loss of his life's savings or one arm but never a nymph who had infatuated him." Hathaway is in a hard town for killers, kill-ers, and while his side of the story may change the text of the associated press report, he has a hard row of stumps be-! fore him. Billy Whalen was decidedly popular with the "gang," as it is known, and much regret is expressed by those in Salt Lake who have enjoyed his hospitalities. |
