Ursula J. Unfug. who killed Thomas
Henderson Boyd last December. and who
has since then been an inmate Of the
county Jail, has left her dismal abode and
is nov practically = free woman. having
been released on $500 bonds. 1; is not
likely that she will ever return 20 her
cell. for ali the people who were
conversant with the circumstances attend
ing the homicide have mysteriously van
ished. Miss Lille Kennedy. the landlady
OF the furnished rooms at 3io James street.
where the tragedy took place, went 10 CAL
ifornia some time ago before a SUBPOENA
was served upon her. d. II. Reed. who with
his wife occupied a room adjoining that in
which Boyd was killed, and who. with
Mrs. Kennedy. were the first people upon
the scene, as we'll as the only ones in the
house a. the time. went into the Koo-
tenay country several weeks ago, leaving
his wife behind him. He had not
been subpnnaed either. As the day
set for trial drew near and these ali i'm
per,ant witnesses did not return, District
Attorney Miller became anxious and be-
gan to keep sharp eye on the only one
OF the two remaining. Mrs. Reed.
Last Wednesday it was noticed
that she was packing her things
for removal, and when spoken
TO about the matter told several people
that she was merely changing her rooms.
and that she was henceiorth going to room
at the Russell house. Thursday she was
gone. and with her all hope OF proving
that Mrs. Boyd did the shooting at all or
was even present at the time.
The trial of the case had been set, how
ever. for yesterday. and promptly on the
opening of Judge Humes' cour. the
swarshy prisoner appeared in court with
her attorney. Sam Piles. and
ready for trial. Owing TO the alb
sence of these important witnesses.
Prosecuting Attorney Miller moved for
continuance, which Judge Humes
granted and set the case for trial
June 10. The remaining witnesses
for the state gave their personal recog-
nizanccs for 500 for their appearance and
then Mrs. Boyd's attorney. Sam Piles.
asked that Mrs. Boyd be released on
bonds, enlarging on the long imprison-
ment suffered by her already. and saying
that she cotlld furnish 5000 bonds.
Judge Humes asked if the bondsmen
were present in the court and was told
that they were not, but that they could be
produced in the afternoon. upon which
the Judge consented to accept a bond of
$500.
At , 80 p. m. Mrs. Boyd was brought up
before Judge Langley for approval of the
bond. With her in the court room were
Mrs. Sarah F. Ross. Mrs. Roger s. Green
and Rev. William Carnes, qualified as her
bondsmen. Rev. Mr.. Carnes has for sew
cral months manifested decided interest
in Mrs. Boyd and has been an almost daily
visitor to her.
Mrs. Boyd and her attorneys then pro-
ceeded to Judge Humes' court room,
where the deposition OF DR.. J. b. Laughary.
who is ahou: to leave for California. was
taken. While the details of the murder
were being brought out Mrs. Boyd ap-
peared to be the coolest person in the
room.
She smiled slightly at times. and when
the bullet, which WAS taken from Boyd's
body was introduced in evidence and
handed down to Mr.. Piles for ex-
animation, she only gave it
casual glance, even when the most
minute details of the nature OF the wounds
found on Boyd's body by DR.. Laughary
were entered into she appeared unmoved.
When the deposition had been taken she
left the room with Mr.. Carnes.
During the taking of the deposition Mr..
Carnes was asked whether he had any
thing to say as TO where Mrs. Boyd in
tended to remain until tho trial, but
he refused absolutely to DO in
terviewed and denounced the news
papers in most vehement manner, say.
ing that all OF the papers had done what
they could to injure Mrs. Boyd's case and
that by advice OF her attorneys she would
have nothing to do with them.
rumor was circulated by some mallc-
ious persons las: night that Ursula juan
ita Unfug had been seen in the lower part
OF the city. drunk ana in company of dis
solu'e persons. Ii was thoroughly inves-
tigated by rosrISrELLIerScRg reporters,
and found TO be utterly iaise.
