TRAGEDY IN A HOTEL
A BANK PRESIDENT SHOT BY A LEG.
lIATUREMAN.
CHARGED WITH THE BETRAYAL or
A WOMAN. AND SHOT ny THE
MAN HE wRoNGED.

LINCOLN, NEE, May sc. E.
Montgomery, President Of the Ger
man National Bank, was shot and in
stantly killed yesterday morning, in
the dining room Of the hotel Lincoln,
by W. H. Irvine, former resident Of
Lincoln and now Of Salt Lake City.
Irvine is a member Of the Utah Terri
torial Legislature.
Mr.. Montgomery was seated at a
table near the door when Irvine enter
ed, glanced around the room and adj
vanced towards his victim. As he did
so Montgomery started to rise, hold
ing out his hand.
Drawing revolver from his pocket,
Irvine fired two Shots point blank at
Montgomery, both taking effect near
the heart. The wounded man stag
gered out Of the door into the corridor
and fell to the floor, dying without
uttering a word.
In the meantime Irvine had been
secured. He made no attempt to re-
sist, but on the contrary stated that he
wanted to give himself up. He was
greatly excited and asserted that
Montgomery had criminally assaulted
1. :. Jl. 8
his wife in the Curtis Hotel at Chica-
go last February, and he produced q
number Of letters and kilograms which
he declared contained the proofs.
He then completely collapsed and
his appearance excited the commisera-
ton Of all who witnessed the tragedy.
He was taken to the police station,
where few friends were permitted to
see him.
1t was some time before he could be
Gained, and it was not until he had
been removed to the penitentiary that
he assumed anything like composure.
Gossip has connected the names Of
Mrs. Irvine and Mr.. Montgomery for
years. Mr.. Irvine believed that Mont
gomery ruined his home and disgrace
ed his name. He asserts that Mon
gomery not only betrayed his wife,
but that he accomplished his purpose
by force.
