LATEST DEVELOPMENTS.
Denver News.
The latest development at police head
quarters to day shows not only deep de-
sign on the part of the murderer, but in
no other instance has his cold blodded
indifference to his awful act been SO
clearly shown.
Mrs. Lottie Russell, the unfortunate
mans mistress, to day gave out the in
formation that she and Galbraith and
two other persons went to Golden by
trolly from this city about two weeks
ago, and froui there, she says, Galbraith
made the journey over the mountains
to his old home at Russell Gulch.
The police believe that Mrs. Russell
went with him, and that the pair spent
the night under the roof which also
sheltered the putilated remains Of the
fiend's victims. There Galbraith COM
! PEELED his companion in wickedness to
behold the awful results of his work that
she also might be considered his COM
panion in crime.
1--WE left this city one day last week
or it might be two weeks ago." said Mrs.
Russell, "and we took the street car to
Golden. From there Galbraith took a
team to Russell Gulch."
didn't you go with him to his home?'
asked Chief Armstrong.
"No, came back at o'clock" she re-

Whatever tender feelings Mrs. Russell
might have had for Galbraith in former
days, she expresses nothing but loathing
and intense dislike for him now. She
even denies that they were ever very in
innate.
81 have been with him on several oc-
casions" she said. 1--WE have gone Cd
trips and to hotels. but that was no diff
ferent from what used to do with other
men, and he knew it, too, she added.
Meanwhile over in the county Jail Gal
braith still thinks more of the unfortu
nate condition Of affairs that keeps him
from his paramour and is unable to real
i've the enormity of the crime of which
he has confessed. This forenoon note
which he had written to Mrs. Russell
and which he had hanged to woman
prisoner was intercepted by the guards
at the Jail. The note in full of maudlin
expressions of regard and follows:
'Dot-May God forgive me for what 1
have done; / cannot expect forgiveness
eisewhere Please do not blame your
self, as YOU are in no wise to blame, l
have had so much trouble financially
that have been out of my head-in fact
i must have been crazy to do what |
did. and harm so many innocent people.
Please try to forgive me, as ] never
meant to harm you in any way. Try to
think OF me as l was long time ago.
I'D. G."
But Mrs. Russell refused to accept the
note when it was offered to her.
81 don't want anything to do with that
man." she said. 81 want to forget him
and all about him as fast as can"
But it is quite probable that it will be
many days before Mrs. Russell will be in
a position to discharge the memory of
the unpleasant occurances from her
mind. She will be held as chief witness
against Galbraith to attack his prob
able of insanity.
"Galbraith will probably plead insan.
ity," said Chief Armstrong, and Gal
braith admitted as much this forenoon
when he was seen at the county Jail.
"But we will be able to show motive
for the act" continued Armstrong, "and
that motive is the woman we nave lock-
ed upstairs in the matron's room. Gal
braith did just what every criminal does
when he comits crime-he rushed to
his mistress.
1t may be that an information charg-
ing Mrs. Russell with being an accessory
after the fact may be filed. There is
plenty OF justification for such an infor-
and it would have the effect Of
holding her for the trial."
Chief Armstrong received telephone
from the sheriff aud district attorney OF
Hilpin county that they would arrive in
