Show 1 THE SALT LAKE TIMES. THURSDAY. JULY 31, 1890. 3 the mental notes I made wmie i was talking with him there on tho baloony. 'Are yon a stranger here:"' I asked. "Xot exactly," he replied. "I've been in business here a little more than three months. I'm a surveyor." We parted for tho night and I returned I divided to dismiss my foolish impression of the man and turn my uV tention to other matters. But I could not quite rid my mind at the idea that in some way or another ha was connected with that, murder. In tho morning; after breakfast he walked across the street to the piwtuflkii in his shirt sleeves and got his mail. I saw him a dozen times that day al-ways in hi- -, shirt sleeves. All that week, whenever I met the man, he was coat-less- . It seemed to be his habit to go that. war. IN HIS SHIRT SLEEVES. A beautiful woman found dead in the gray rnf.rning on the outskirts of the town. Two laborers going to their work in the woods had discovered the body, and in their fright had thrown their axes down and beat a hasty rstreat to the village, where, under great excite-ment, they reported tho matter to the authorities. All Brounfield was excited over the terrible news.' Never in the history of the town had such a tragedy occurred. The woman was well known in the com- - j nmnity as a young widow whose hus-- baud had led a somewhat reckless life, but who had left her well provided for ' at his death, which occurred after two years of wedded lift. As was most natural with the added. attraction of a snug fortune, the pretty i young widow was quite popular, and it was rumored that she had half a dozen I was strangely nttraetiil to him, and the more 1 thought of him tho more I felt eoiiv'jtvd that he knew something about the murder. Ho said he )vas a surveyor. Perham that was the reason ho Umk long wallet every afternoon? I had seen him in tb park a dozeu times, but ho seldom wore his coat. I sought the colored woman who h:vl testified at the inquest. If she saw that man in the park again would she be able to recognize him? Sl'.o thought she would if she could see him standing in the same position. I slipped a five drlh:r bill in ln'r hand, enjoined her to secrecy, and obtained her promise to lie in the park every even-ing after that until she met the man. The next day at twilight I saw a man standing in the park with a coat on his arm. In his hand he held a heavy cane, and appeared to be contemplating some object in the distance. While ho was in this position the woman, true to her promise, passed hur-riedly by, keeping her eyes fixed on him as she went. I followed her, and when wo were well out of hearing she stopiied and said: "Before God, I think it's tho man I saw with Mar Huntley. I know him by his shape!" I was wild with excitement. "Do not breathe a word of this to any one," was my caution to the woman as I hurried to the mayor's office. "Impossiblef" he exclaimed, when I laid the story before him. "That is Capt. Carlton, a surveyor, whose character is above reproach. It is true he had paid tho dead woman some attention, but" I interrupted him with on impatient gesture. "You are bound to take this woman's testimony," I said, "and place this captain under arrest. It matter not what his character may be. Tho aoman says it is the man!" The marshall was called in. "Find Capt. Carlton," said the mayor, "and tell him I wish to see him immediately ou business." It was, perhaps, a full half hour be-fore the captain put in an appearance; and when he did the mayor did not know what to say to him. "Well," ho said, with an inquiring look, "what can I do for you?" The mayor said nothing, but looked appealingly at me. i "We should send for the woman," I said. "What woman?" asked Carlton, excit-dl- y. "Why, captain," said the mayor in a nervous voice, "there is a woman here who says that she saw you with Mrs. Huntley" The man started at the name, and a faint pallor overspread hid face, which goon changed to an indignjmt red. IIo did not wait for the mayor to finish tho sentence, but stamping his foot furious-ly exclaimed: "It is a lie a black lie; and I'll strike tho man or woman dead who says it!" "Don't commit another murder, cap-tain'," I said, placing my liand on my pistol. "I accuse yoiwif the crime!" He sprang forward with a foarful im-precation, but drew back at the Bight of my pistol, which was leveled at his breast. By this time the office was crowded with curious citizens, who had over-heard the oaths of the caged captain. He was soon secured and taken to jail. The woman waa brought face to face with him, and ho cowered before her. The lock of hair found in the dead woman's hand matched his own exactly, and finally a confession was wrung from him. He had loved the woman, bnt she had repulsed him. He soon found that she litvod another, and on the evening be-fore the murder he had met her, by acci-dent, and walked with her to the place where her body was subsequently found. In a fit of jealous rage he had choked her to death, though he did not mean to kill her. The sound of a wagon approaching had frightened him so that he fled, leaving the body where it was found next morn-ing. ... I believe the captain u serving time in the penitentiary now. It was the first detective work I had ever done and I hope it will be the last, i ..Hi nnt working for the reward, but suitors. But this is in the nature of a digres- - sion. I have introduced you to the wo- - man dead, and the principal object of this story is to unravel for tho reader the mystery of her death. j The mayor, five couneilmeu. the town marshal and perhaps fifty citizens of Brounfield, after they had hoard the j stories of the two laborers, followed them to the spot where the body lay. It was a fitting spot for a murder. The sandy road, arched by meeting trees that shut the sunlight out, led abruptly to a covered bridge, which spanned a bleak and sluggish stream, and just fifty yards from the water, in a clump of bushes by the roadside, the body lay. Why did the murderer leave it there? was the question we involunta-- j rily asked ourselves as the white face and staring eyes met our gaze. Why did ho not seek to conceal his crime by throwing the body in the river? The woman had been strangled; the print of human fingers was visible on her white tliroat. The fingers of the right hand were closed tightly, until the blue nails seemed to pierce the bloodless palm. Evidently she had not died with-out a struggle. "Look!" cried oue of the men, point-ing to the closed hand, and we saw for tho first time that it held a little tuft of co;.rse black hair. "This maybe a clew to the murderer," said tho mayor. "Justice Brown, you will hold the inquest. Had we not bet-ter remove the body at once to Brounf-ield?" The justice assented, and we formed a little funeral procession and bore tho dead woman to the town. The two laborers who had discovered the body were held as witnesses, but the inquest developed nothing, except that the woman was fond of taking long walks in the afternoon, and that on tho evening preceding her death she had been seen leaving her house by a colored woman, who testified that she saw a man, who wore no coat, join her in the j little town park and enter into conversa-tion with her. Here the witness lost sight of them and thought nothing of tho incident. She could not describe the man in his shirt sleeves, for she was not ' near enough to distinguish his features, She remembered, however, that he was a tall man, and seemed to have a stick or walking cane in his hand. Who could have committed the crime? Robbery was not the object, for the 's purse, containing seven dollars, ' was found by her side, or rather a little satchel which 6he carried suspended from her neck. My business kept me in Brounfield a week after this event, but when I left they were no nearer to solving the mys-tery of tho murder than they were when the body was found. I remember how, a month afterward, as I lay on my bed in a distant town thinking it over, the testimony of that colored woman at the inquest recurred to me and set me to thinking. She had spoken of a man "with his coat off" who had stopped the woman and engaged her in conversation in the park. Had they looked upon this as a clew and followed it up? Was there a man in that town who habitually went in his ahirt sleeves? A man who had been familiar enough with the woman to address her as this man did? , The more I thought of this tho more it appealed to me. I could not ridicule it into silence. It seemed to take in my mind tho indefinite shape of a clew to the murder, until at last I felt confident that I could clear up the mystery in which it was shrouded.. ... I packed my valise and bought a ticket to Brounfield. I had yet some unfinish-ed business there and bo a good excuse forgoing. Arrived there. I made inquiries con-cerning the murder. A reward had been offered for the murderer, but as yet he had not been captured. My room was in the second story or the little hotel. It was a hot night in July, and although fatigned by my jour-ney I could not sleep. It was perhaps near 12 o'clock, when the stillness of death seemed to reign in the house, that I arose and resolved to seek tho balcony for a breath of fresh air. As I walked out I saw a man in his shirt sleeves, bare headed, sitting at the far end, with his feet on the railing. He gave an involuntary start at my ai'"Ahrhe said, with something like a siuh "out for a breath of fresh air, eh? It was my plagued hot in the house I thought I'd try it out here myself. IdortOt know that the man's manner would have impressed me if I had not seen him in his shirt sleeves, bnt putting this and that together-t-he way he start-ed at my approach-- his nervous, jerky manner of speaking, aud then-- his being in his shirt sleeves-- but pshaw! I wore no coat myself. Who could on such a burning July nigbt? I do not know whether fate or Provi-dence led me to this man, lmt I do know that a half hour's conversation with him ' made me suspect that he knew some-thing about the murder of that poor woman whose body I had seen on that memorable morning by the roadside! ' I naturally led the conversation to the murder. He aid not seem Inclined to talk of it ar.t soon changed the eub- - ieBut I brought him back to it by easy stages until at last, with a gesture of impatience, he said: "I don't wire to Ulk about it; the authorities are at work on the case and Igueas theyH ferret out the murderer in time."

The legislature of California elected him to the United States senate, and he took his seat in ISM. His term in the senate had been deter-mined by lot to he a short one, and ex-pired March 4, 1851.

Learning in 1853 that congress had made an appropriation for three railroad routes from the Missis-sippi to the Pacific ocean he returned and fitted out an expedition. He finally reached Calif ornia, having found passes through the mountains. Then he went to New York with his family where he took up his residence. Meanwhile the Free Soilers had organ-ized the Republican party, and it was hunting for a leader. The choice fell upon Fremont, and in June, 1850, he was nominated for president, and in the sub-sequent campaign defeated by Buch-anan. As the pathfinder, as leader of the Re-publican party in 1850, it was to be ex-pected that Fremont would have a very important command when the war broke i: i gave him ,gree.

Fremont was in Europe at the time, but arrived in New York about the 1st of July, 1801, and on the 20th of the month reached St. Louis. Five weeks after taking command Fremont issued a proclamation assum-ing the government of the state and an-nouncing that he would emancipate the slaves. President Lincoln wrote him approving all of the proclamation except the emancipation clause, which he an-nulled. This difference, however, did not result in Fremont relinquishing his command, but a great deal of complaint was made of his administration as inef-ficient and very extravagant. Mr. Cam-eron, then secretary of war, looked into the matter, and on his report Fremont waa relieved on the 2d of November, 1861, after having held it ninety-eigh- t days. In 1803 President Lincoln instituted the mountain department, consisting of portions of West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and placed Fremont in command. In the early part of June he was engaged with Gen. Stonewall Jack-son in a series of skirmishes which lasted for eight days. Tho campaign was ended by' tho battle of Cross Keys on June 8, and Jackson withdrew. Two weeks later the president placed Gen. Pope in charge of tho Army of Virginia, including Fremont's corps, whereupon Fremont asked to be relieved. His request was granted. This ended Fremont's career in the war. In tie spring of 1804 the question came up as to Mr. Lincoln's There were three parties in the field, the Dem-ocrats, Republicans and the Republicans who were dissatisfied with Mr. Lincoln's administration. These based their oppo-sition on the claim that the war had not lieen prosecuted with vigor. They nom-inated Fremont for president and ht: ac-cepted He was now before the people ior.ee more as a presidential candidate, but with a very different constitnency. From the first it was' evident that the bulk of those desiring a prosecution of the war would vote for Mr. Lincoln and the dissatisfied Repubhcans were buta handfull. Two months before the elec-tion Fremont withdrew. . Gen. Fremont waa governor of Arizona from 1878 to 1881. and for a brief period of New Mexico, to which potion he was appoint by Preaident Arthur. Subsequently he met with business disasters and was sentenced by default by the French government to too and imprisonment for fraudulent representations regarding issue of bonds. None of Fremont s railway commercial schemes was essful and fortune never came to him. Indeed the last years of his life were m shirt contrast with his younger days.
