lGAlNAS NnlLA CAAC AANslAA VI utul kO pO6N One of the letters was addressed to Judge Robinson, her attorney, and the other 10 her husband, A. G. Hun- ter, as it was subsequently asceTtained. Both of these letters appear below, together with one to F. Hunter, the eldest son, which was found in pack age of papers in Mrs. Hunters trunk all bearing date of April l0-yeS- terday.
 Wilie he was standing with his back to his mother young Hunter heard the report of pistol, and turn ing rounc was horrified to ind that sue had shot herself. Medical aid was crlled at once, but it was evident from the first that nothing could be done. She fingered unul SIX o'clock this morning, when she expired. Her last words were to her son Frank, about 12 o'clock a. m, when she told him 10 ''tske care of the children
 From the evidence of Frank Hun ter, il appears that A. C. Hunter was formerly engaged in business in New castle on- the-Tyne, and that he failed in business about five years ago. He soon after came 10 America, and se- cured the position of Superintendent of the Flagstaff mine in Utah. There he gave out that he was a single mau, and was on the eve of being married to a young lady in Salt Lake City, when Mrs. Hunter arrived, which of course, put 8 stop to the proposed alliance. Mrs. Hunter afterwards re- turned to her home Tn Newcastle, England, and MT. Hunter came to Arizona to take charge of the Aztec Mining Company's affairs, which he suOn brought 10 a disastrous termina- tion. He then became interested Tn ines in Sonora, where has been operating for over two years with indifferent success. Two years ago last August he was married tO a Mex lcan woman of low character, with whom he has been living ever since. Mrs. Hunter learned of the faithless act of her husband through her son, and again came to America and ar- arrived in Tucson some three months ago, for the purpose of trying 10 in- duce MT. Hunter 10 return Co her and assume his lawful place as the father of her children, but in this she sig naliy failed. Mr. Hunter has been EotCd for his doubtful business acts since he came tO Arizona, where he has made no friends and many en- emies. IL appeared from the evidence of Hunters eldest son that NIT. Hunter has spuandered or lost in busI- ness from e26, 0O0 to G30, 000, which belonged to Mrs. Hunter and the fam fly. It is owing to this fact of NIT Hunter bavIng squandered her for tune and then deserting her that the late Mrs. Hunter proceeded to take her own life and forever put an end to her suffering. She leaves real estate in Enpland valued at e3j00 and an insurance on her lite for El0UO, or in all, a property valuation of S22, but the life insurance will probably be vitiated by the manner Cf her death. She made 6 will after she was shot, diyi1iug her property equally be- tween her children, of which there arc four daughters and one son in Eng land, and two sons here in Tucson.
