unpopular, and took advantage OF the OPP
portunity thus afforded to abuse the con-
fidence of his friend and benefactor. In
course of time a criminal intimacy sprung
up between Moore and Mrs. Norton,
which was first suspected on the day of its
discovery by Mr.. Nor ton last Friday,
when he met the gui ty pair on the street
returning from house of questionable
repute where they had passed the after
noon together.
The injured husband made an attack
upon his false friend, but was prevented
from harming him by the wife and Others
who arrived upon the scene. Mr.. Norton
attempted to draw a revolver. but the
weapon caught in his pocket. He struck
Moore several times who ran.
That night Mrs. Norton passed with
Moore at his home. the latter's wife, with
their six odd boy, being absent at
Manitou Springs. Col, and next morning
they left the city for parts unknown,
presumably Australia, Moore's former
home, taking with them all of Mr. Nor
toms life's earnings-about forty thou
sand dollars-which he in generous con-
fidence in the woman he loved and to
provide against the contingency OF his
sudden death. had placed in her name.
Mr.. Norton and the deserted wife and
child of Moore have the sympathy of the
entire community, while the conduct OF
the criminal pair Is denounced by every
body-except the injured husband, who,
in his agony and humiliation has no word
of eensure for tue infatuated and mis-
guided wife, whose unhappy future, when
She shall have been robbed and deserted
by the villain who has betrayed her is his
