In reply to this 1t was generally cir

When the lads came up for the tenth

fresher. He more than held his own

winner by Referee White
After the preliminary bouts had been
decided the betting was 100 to 80 in

the betting changed to even money.

MRS. WILSON WAITED FOR THE
MESSENGER OF DEATH.

Miller's ride is not the only great fact
by which the authorities expect to
prove the guilt of the accused man and
his confederates. It will be shown by
the daughter of Mrs. Wilson herself
that on the night of the murder Mrs.
Wilson was restless, uneasy and ex-
pectant. Her daughter has declared
that her mother watched the coming
of darkness With great anxiety. When
the light, of day had faded fully the
woman left her house and walked
toward the Wilson ranch, which was
not far distant. Soon after the sharp
report of the gun that sent death to
Wilson was heard and the woman re-
turned to her home. She retired to her
room and threw herself, fully dressed.
into her bed. A short time later she
was aroused and informed that her di-
Vorced husband had been shot and in
stantly killed.
Before the Coroner's inquest testi-
mony was given that Mrs. Wilson knew
for some time before the murder that
her former husband intended to deed
his property to Mrs. Virgie O'Brien.
When she received that information
Mrs. Wilson declared that she might as
we'll have the property as Virgie
O'Brien. 1t will be shown beyond any
question that McEwen, Mrs. Dickinson
and Mrs. Wilson discussed in a most
eliminating way the features of the
murder after it had been committed.
The intention of Wilson to deed his
property away had angered his divorced
wife and her relatives and friends to
the last degree. Mrs. Wilson admitted
to Stranahan that she knew before the
murder that something was going to
happen, but she could not restrain her
mother when the old woman had set
her mind upon purpose That this
purpose was murder Mrs. Wilson most
vehemently denied, although she Of
fered to secure for Stranahan money
enough with which to get out of the
country. More than this, in a fit Of
rage during quarrel and in the pres
ence Of George Hughes, she deliberately
accused her brother of having murdered
her husband. This terrible charge will
supply strong testimony at the trial.
Fred Bendell will go even further than
George Hughes and will declare that
Miller himself confessed that he had
killed his brother-in-law but was
forced to commit the murder to save
the -roperty.
Then the prosecution will ask that
Mtller's life be taken in compensation
for the murder of the old rancher and
that the story Of degraded lives and
passions be closed in the his
tory of Solano County.
