she has a chance Of recovery. The bullet,
a 3S-caliber, was extracted at St. Eliz-

conscious condition.
The police burst into Broderson's room

In a pool OF his own blood lay the body Of
BroderSon and only a few feet distant lay
his slayer, his former sweetheart, on a
bed, with blood streaming from her own
head and the deadly weapon beside her.

MortenSon To Hang.

Salt Lake City. Sept. 1S-P eter
Mortenson must face his executioners
and pay the death penalty for the
murder of James r. Hay. one of the
foulest deeds ever committed in the
state of Utah. That is what the de-
cision of the Supreme court. which
denied his petition for rehearing
yesterday. virtually means.
The petition was filed in the Su-
preme court on September 11th. after
an extention Of twelve days had been
granted, and the decision rendered
yesterday comes down in less than a
week. From this it is seen that the
convicted murderer has but the most
meager of chances for new trial
Judge Morse. before whom the case
was tried. is upheld in every conten-
tion by the Supreme Justices. Should
Mortensen's attorneys. Stewart and
Stewart, make another motion for a
new trial in the District court, it is
certain that it will be overruled by
Judge Morse. 1t is also more than
likely that he will not issue certifi-
cate of probable eau ,e which will pre-
vent staying of the date of execu-
tion. The Supreme court will send
down it's remittiture in few days
and then the day ON which Mortenson
is to die will be fixed by the District
judge. If certificate of probable
cause is not issued in the District
court the life of the prisoner cannot
be prolonged. no matter what the pro.
ceedings may be in regard to second
appeal.

Chamberlain Resigns

London. Sept. 17.-The Associated
Press learns that Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain has decided to resign
from the Cabinet on the ground that
Premier Balfour's attitude ON the fis.
cal question is not sufficiently advanc-
ed to enable Mr.. Chamberlain to re-
main member of the Government
without the sacrifice of his own
views.
The resignation is likely to be an
nounced within day or two but may
be postponed until Mr.. Balfour has an
opportunity to make his public an
nouncement on October 1st.
There is just last chance that the
King. in his private capacity may
avert what is now declaI ed to be in
evitable. Mr.. Chamberlain resig-
nation is almost certain to cause an
appeal to the country.
