the desired effect, and inside Of half
an hour the courthouse grounds were
deserted.

Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 2S.-with the
statement that he had murdered his

said that he had killed his wife Christ
mas afternoon and that the body was
still lying in the house where the wo-
man had died, after lingering for two
hours with a pistol bullet in her brain.
An investigation by the police revealed

scene of the murder. Lying on a bed
in miserably furnished Third South
street shack. the body Of Mrs. Rose
was found. clad only in her undergar-
ments. and by her side was the wo-
mans ? year old son. the baby's
clothes being saturated with its
mothers blood. 1t was at first thought
that the child was dead. but when an
ofhcer attempted to release the little
arms from around the dead woman's
neck. the boy began to cry and plain
lively told the policeman that some
thing was the matter with his man.
ma and that ''she won't wake up
For almost two days the child had
been locked in the cold room with its
murdered mother without food or at

serious condition, but it is thought win

from St Louis about a month ago.
The husband was without employment

relied frequently.

window. While two OF the men did
the work Of blowing the safe. three
stayed outside as guards. The first
explosion was a failure. making a loud
report. but doing little damage. The
citizens heard the noise. and arming
themselves with revolVers and shot
