II was believed by many that an en-
nifty which had sprung up between
Mrs. W. II. Volkmar. a sister OF the
Ward girls. with whom they lived. at
Gold Dust. and Alice. was the cause %
the tragedy. Alice had visited the girls
az their home. but their married sister
took exceptions 10 her actions on the
occasion OF her visit. and sent her
home with a note 90 her mother. which
explained that there could be no long
er any intimacy between Alice and her
sisters. The Ward girls followed the
instructions Of their older sister. and
after they had turned the cold shoul-
der on Alice. Then Alice became des-
perate. Freda Ward had sent back the
ring which Alice had given her. and
their correspondence. which had hith-
erto gushed with love, was brought to
a sudden termination. Miss Johnson
testified that after that Alice was never

openly threatened to do before the
murder occurred. One sensation after
another followed in the subsequent in
vestigation Of the case. Alice Mitchell
had received letters from the postof-
fee from Freda addressed TO Jesse
James and other noted criminals. II
developed that she had always shown
a marked propensity for initiating men.
She would shoot sparrows with a rife
