Did not see her tire the shot, but saw the pistol in her hand Immediately afterward, and saw ; the smoke. Hall was going to the Mint saloon to work. I was going with him . . as far as Brigham street. I was eight or ten feet from Miss Olsen when I lirst saw her. I was struck by the terrible look she gave us. Noticed her hands later. Something in them looked like a handkerchief. Neither of us answered answer-ed her. When the shot was lired Hall was going south.. He and I were talk- : ing then. When the shot was' tired Hall was looking straight ahead. When I saw her after tho shot she was stand- ing just off the sidewalk. When she fired she was in a northeasterly direction direct-ion from Hall, and three or four feet from the tree. He fell immediately, and then I turned and saw her with the pistol in her hand. The tree is on the corner of First and C streets. Wo were -. on the west side of C street. I was on tho west, or right-hand, sido of Hall. Miss Olsen's look was devilish. I saw Miss Olsen leave her home at 11 'a. m. on Monday and saw her at home, through her window, between 3 and 4. She was writing. Did not see her face then. Did not meet her yesterday. It was upon taking her chair among the witnesses that she drew a handkerchief handker-chief and began to brush the tears from her eyes. It was quite evident that the death of Hall had Deen a serious blow to her adulation. The testimony of City Marshal John M. Young, whiio dramatically interest-ing,. interest-ing,. was simply a repetition of what appeared in these columns at the time of the surrender, as was also that of the grief-stricken father. Captain Lange gave a lurid doscrip-tion doscrip-tion of the spectacle that confronted him on the arrival of the hurry-up, and was followed by William N. McCurdy and Chief Stantbn of the tiro department. depart-ment. The case was finally submitted, when the jury rendered the subjoined verdict: ver-dict: TERRITORY OF UTAH, 1 County of Balt Lake.
