BENEATH THE BED
Cayley, in His Dying Statement,
Says Kelly, His Assailant,
I4u. Was Hiding There.
Charge of Murder Placed Against
the Editor-The Woman
T.. Cannot Be Found.
Special to The Journal.

Butte. Mont, Oct ia deep mystery
now surrounds the alleged shooting Of
DR.. H. A. Cayley by Editor ]. w. Kelly
OF the 1nter-Mountain. which, it is be-
lieved, only the missing French dress
maker. Madame LaBonte, over whom the
Tragedy occurred, can solve. The deVelp-
ments last night and to-day were sensa-
tional. Cayley is lying in the hospital and
the end Is expected momentarily. Power
ful restoratives We're administered suf
fotent to enable the wounded man to
make an ante-mortem statement.
In the presence OF the officers the pa
tient feebly gasped out the words that
placed q charge Of murder against Kelly.
Kelly, he declared was hiding beneath
the bed In the woman'S room, from under
which he came and shot him.
Cayley further declares he was called
to the woman's room by a telephone mes
sage from the woman herself, telling him
she was in need Of medical aid He said
he had grown tired and had lain down on
her bed when Kelly crawled from be-
meath and opened fire. Cayley at first
refused to divulge the name Of the woman
In the case but when told it was known
acknowledged it was Madame LaBonte
Following the antemortem statement
Mrs. Chapman. the landlady of the house
where the shooting occurred, startled the
police by declaring that following the
shooting, the LaBonte woman had rushed
into her rooms and eXcitedly exclaimed
that she LaBonte) had shot DR.. Cayley
twice. Madame LaBOnte had done this,
she said, because the doctor had at
tempted liberties with her. The police are
at loss to explain the new phase of the
situation other than that the woman in
her excitement was making an effort to
save Kelly.
Another strange feature puzzlng the
authorities Is the calling Of Cayley to the
apartments of the LaBonte woman and
a message sent Kelly calling him from
banquet short time before the shoot
ing happened.
Officers are still trying to locate Ma
dame LaBonte. She has been traced to
Havre, to which point she bought a ticket
but from there all track Of her has been
lost. The police have belief that she Is
headed for Michigan, as she Is known to
have a child and her mother living at
Belmont. A theory advanced is that
Madame LaBOnte, notorious for her de-
light In exciting the jealousness Of men
over her, possibly sent messages to the
two men that they might meet in her
room.
At Casper, Wyo., this woman figured in
murder that was almost an exact coun-
terpart OF this affair, One of her hus-
bands, Frank Lockwood, is now doing fiji
teen years for the crime.
Cayley became unconscious yesterday
afternoon and his condition is so weak
that slight breathing is the only sign of
life. Powerful restoratives are being ap-
piled by the physicians and 1t Is only q
question Of a few hours before the spark
OF life has fled Editor Kelly late yester-
day was again placed under arrest He
refused to say anything bearing upon the
crime

The Duluth Aerial BRIDGE,

Since 1870, when the canal was cut
through Minnesota Point at Duluth, some
device for bridging the canal has been a
pressing necessity. An aerial bridge, diff
ferent from all others ever built, Is now
being constructed which will span the
channel, 1914 feet wide, at a height Of 1856
feet. An electric car will be suspended
from this bridge and will carry ordinary
trolley cars, wagons and passengers
across the strip of water. This is one Of
the unique engineering feats Of the world
and, like golden grain belt beer, we are
proud that it is a product Of Minnesota 8
industry. This beer is the purest and most
hea1thful tonic ever brewed and should be
in every home.

practically all the previous days charac-
teristics, including an utter lack of pub
lie interest and Increasing fears Of gold
exports. Sterling exchange was quoted
as high as 81 Sc CO. In fact the foreign
exchange market was the feature of the
day and developed most interestingly with
an increased demand for sterling at this
center and higher quotations for bar gold
and American coin in London. The local
advance was all the more interesting in
view of the inadequate steamship facil--
tiles tomorrow, these providing only
slow boat for banks to use in forwarding

The demand was especially strengthen
