Continued from first past, uess until her parents wcro consulted,, 1 hey saw uo objection to her speaking to him, and another point was scored iu the consummation of the dark purpose pur-pose that stormed bis mind. Ho called upon the parents and to them declared his uncontrollable fondness for the daughter. They gave him access to their parlor, little suspecting that beneath be-neath it was hiding with grinninu eostacy the doom of virtue. Skilfullv his plans were laid, and then silently ho stolo upon his victim. She was entrapped. She listened lis-tened and fell. Her life was ruined. Society might have exteuded iu acquittal acquit-tal to liim but there was NO AMNESTY FOK I1KH. The jewel had gone and with it her life. As a compensation and as the price of silence he promised to marry her. Ten months ago he packed up and wcut away. It is said by good authority that the solitary eye witness to tho tragedy soon followed hira east. For ten months the victim was left hero with keen-fanged remorse guawing at her breast. Each day made her more desperate. des-perate. He returned to Ziou, as did also his consort. That was last week. On Saturday the wrecked life determined to call and beg of him onco more to repair re-pair the ruius to marry her and wrest tier from , THE AUYSS OF SHAME into which she had been unwittingly dragged. The full text of that interview inter-view will probably not be known until it is unfolded from the witness chair. It was a, disappointment, however, and she determined to have his life. Last evening, with a revolver in the folds of her dress, she started homeward from work. Up V street cams the man who had robbed her of her estate, and the woman who was responsible for her Introduction In-troduction to Hall. Her body shook, her hand clutched at the weapon and a fatal shot rang through the air. The body foil dead. Tho rest has been told, unless it be tho episode in which the father of the girl was leading actor. Ho too was homeward bent when his attention was attracted by the crowd. He pushed eusped "Oh, dear,'' and died soon after. I turned arot'nd an t saw SI as 'sen standing within ten feet of in , a id she said, 'I will servo you the k me way.' but the crowd began to come up and sho went away," Mrs Hart was quite dramatic in resenting re-senting tho imputation that Hall was killed for tho betrayal of the g rl. Sho did not believe it, so she exclaimed. and thought him an honorable gentleman. To this whole affair no more startling start-ling chapter has been contributed than that which is found in T11K KATU KH S STORY, which corroborates the bitter contents of the despairing missive to the public. John F. Olson, a wood turner by trade, was seen and stated that about a year ago Hall began to pay attention to his daughter Amanda, Mr. Hart having introduced him in the household. He was received as a gentleman although nothing wus known as to bis standing. Hi' repeated his visits for several weeks, when thev wero interrupted by an attack of illness. ill-ness. He was moved to the hospital, and, touched by the ghastly lonelluess of his life Mrs. Olson cooked and sent food to him. This emboldened him and his VISITS WKKK MO MR KKKQCF.ST. Finally Hall met the daughter on tho street and asked her for a private interview on a very important matter. Tho daughter referred the matter to her father, and he. consented to the meeting. In that meeting Hall told Amanda that he had a wilo yet. but that so soon as ho could divorce himself ho proposed to marry Miss Olson. She deferred her conaent to im engagement, but his pleading were -o stubborn that hIih finally yitfldbd. He broachod tho subject to the father, who opposod the murr age. Then tho plena of suitor were stimulated by those of the' daughter and the father yielded. He called several times after at the residence and in November last went away. THE DALT.HTEK WAS HEAHTBROKEN and manifested her distress in spells of fainting. Ilo tried to wean her from the worthless object on which sho had learned to lavish Iter love. Some days ago Hall returned to the city and then the ruined daughter unfolded the awful ftory of her tle-truction. Sho confessed that one night shortly before Hall's departure depart-ure and whn the parents were abed ho threw a handkerchief ovor her mouth and threatening violence if sho utttrod a word outraged her. Te told her that the object of his fiendish nssault was to make her trtio to him! Whou this story was concluded tho little woman exclaimed, ex-claimed, "I BWOHK VKNOEANC'K on this man. I prayed (iod for strength to do it." Ilo was returning to his homo from work when he Haw tho crowd, and hastening to it, saw tho lileuding body of his girl's betrayer. The ellect on him as Mrs. Hart said Amanda had done it has already been uoticed. Mrs. Olson, tho mothor, said a few days ago he accompanied herdaughter down town, nnd Hall wn asked what he Intended to do.i Uo declined to talk in the mother's presence, and took Amanda to a restaurant. There the violent episode to which reference is made in her letter was enacted. She had given him every opportunity to repair re-pair tho hidnotH wrong and she made up her mind to levy her own penalty. The relations between Hall and womankind through life furnioh a somewhat some-what DISCORDANT CnAPTEK and one dramatio scene followed another until the fngio denouement was reached. It is said that two years ago his wifo became enamoured of an aristocratic rounder, and that for him sho deserted Hail and lied to the shores of the i'aoilie. Since that time little has como to him of her career, and although two years or more have elapsed since tho desertion the union between them has never been legally dissolved. Hall wus originally an su-gineer su-gineer by trado, but developed into a bartender and was for threo years employed em-ployed at tho Mint saloon on Second South. THE INQUEST. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the coroner coro-ner began bU inquiry upon the remains of Hall. There is a large attendance as the examination progresses and the verdict will doubtlesa bn in accordance with the facta as stated herein. into it anu riveiuu nis eyes ou THE DEAD VAN. A cry of despair came from his lips, and reeling He fell alongside tho body of his dauglitot"betrayer, unconscious. Mr. Culp, who witnessed the incident, took him up and sunnnoning a conveyance convey-ance removed him to his dwelling, into which he was carried amid tho frantic grief of his wife. The first night after the tragedy had passed and day was up when the coroner coro-ner began preparations for the impiest. The letter, that bad been written by the girl and handed to Marshal Young had been tho subject of rife speculation. It was thought to contain her story, her rendition of causes that drove her to the fatal deed. This was finally turned over to competent authority from which the following copy was obtained: A WOMAN'S DESPAIR. SALT LAKK ClTV, Sept. 29, ISOa-Outlemon: I, Amanda Olson, wr.te this to relieve ine of a nubile explanation, which 1 know 1 will be called upon to do, nu will uot have the nerve.

She was visibly affected, and eagerly sprung upon the opportunity. Hall was stopping under ber roof, and having hav-ing secured a position as bartender at the Mint saloon, in which he had worked prior to ten months ago, was coming down from hi suburban moorings moor-ings to begin work. Mrs. Hart was accompanying ac-companying him, and together they tripped down the thoroughfare, scarcely suspecting that their conversation would be brought to so blunt and starting start-ing a period. Hall had been east and so had hi companion on this fierc occasion. oc-casion. Each has recently returned to the citv, and under tbe iame roof each was sleeping. "At twenty miuutea after six this evening" said Mrs. Hart. "I started down Town with Mr. Hall. Nothing, occurred nntil we reached ( dera corner at the intersection of C and First streets.
