see her between 10 and IL o'clock Sunday night.
She took him to her room iu the third story.
He had been drinking and talked gloomily, say
with him any more and that he had great
mind to leave the world. He laid a revolver
on the bureau. In the morning, about 10
o'clock, she was called down stairs to see a
visitor. As she left the room Butler remarked
that he would be back to see her Tuesday even
Ing, and then said: kiss me, Mabel, for may
never see you again." The woman took her
visitor into an adjoining room, and had chat
ted with him for half an hour, when he saio he
