Show FRANK HALLS SLAYER. The Elects of the Tragedy on Its Authoress Au-thoress Take an Iccentrio and Pitiful Ocurse, WILt DEMENTIA CLAIM HEK? A Serious Problem for Those in AttendanceA Attend-anceA Letter Prom the Etuiaway Wife, Since her arraignment and admission to ball in the sum of $5000, Amanda Olson has sought a horizon that Is be yond the public stare. The tragedy is no longer on the popular tongue and is ' only now and then alluded to by some party whA was acquainted with one or I both of the principals. So far as the morbid world is concerned, the little women, l' enfant cherub, is dead to it. Not to those, however, whose sympathies sympa-thies have gone ont In one direction or another. By these she is under vigilant vigil-ant surveilance. Since the doctor was called to attend her at the bailiff's residence resi-dence she has been constantly under medical attendance, and without violating violat-ing confidence it may be said that even the wise man of physiology is stumped over the queer and erratio course the effect ef-fect on her frail body has taken. It will be remembered that when she was first seen after the fatal shot, her form was as motionless as a piece of statuary. statu-ary. There was somothing lodged midway mid-way between her throat and heart, she complained, but it would not be swallowed, swal-lowed, nor could she got it out. "A fragment of her broken heart," suggested one who had been present at the interview, "and I'm told the doctor has serious doubts if that something ever will be removed unless by tho rattle rat-tle of a natural death." Her form, that is naturally as frail as a reed has suffered severely, but not so ruiiuh as her mind, that seoms to be as uncertain, as unstationary as the wind.

' ' As a sequel It may be said that Hall's fugitive wife has linally been heard from on the homicide, which was first conveyed to her through the columns of the daily press, She affects that she was not surprised at the termination of his career, and bases or pretends to base that upon the assumption that she was unable to live in harmony with him It is likely on the other hand that had she repulsed the overtures of tho man with whom she eloped the sanguinary san-guinary affair would never have occurred. oc-curred. The tone of ber correspondence, correspond-ence, a look at which was denied the- reporter is said to be stamped from first to last with a spirit of derisive exultation. She continues her foxy and illusive artiliwa however, and instead of mailing her snarling missive at the postoliice she adroitly drops it into tho running mail car on "the Southern Facifio railway. She has now received her decree of divorce di-vorce however, and with its crimson assurance is at liberty to marry the man with whom she departed. - In the meantime Mrs, Hart, the sole surviving eye witness, is looking after the welfare of the orphans at this point, while the other is with rolatives across the water to whom she was sent by the mother. |
