o. her tinCer solitaire diamond ring,
the value of which was more than 800.
The girl, knowing that her sweftheart
was rot employed in any business
which would enable him to buy such
an. expensive engagement ring, asked
him where he raised the money TO pur-
chase it.
She says that for moment the ques-
ton confused Crowhurst, who hnaIiy
said that the ring hao heen given TO
him By a man IN San Francisco Tor
whom he had done 4 favor.
a few weeks later Crowhurst gave
Miss Ouiglcy a handsome feather boa'
which She still has in her possession
e-J aftervard he gave her other ar
ticles OF considerable value Miss Quig-
ley after discovering that CroWhurst
had not engaged IN any work which
,zvopId warrant the expenditure of such
amounts CT money as he spent for these
presents, became suspicious that ali
was not right, and she questioned hlnl
about it.
Crowlurst became enraged at what
ne termed the girls needless curiosity.
and the result was quarrel which ter
minated the engagement This nap
r;ened on December Is. 1904. and on
that date she returned the ring TO him,
TBut ne refused 10 take back the other
gifts.
when Miss Quigley learned Of her
former lovers arrest on a charge OF
having been implicated In the robbery
of Thomas Cook the mystery surround

possession was a mystery no longer so
far as she was concerned. But rearing
that she might he suspected OF having
a guilty knowledge Of his misdeeds the
elrl did not tell any one Of her expert
ences.
when she learned to-osy that IL had
becoine known that she had received
Gifts from the suspected Joy bandit
The girl realized that further conceal
roeut was useless. and filled with re-
morse at having taken presents which
may have been purchased with the
money secured by crime. she made the
following statement:

I knew he was not working and asked
hin, where he got the money to buy a
ring like that, and he became confused.
but finally said that a man in San
. Francisco had given II to him for some
$thing he had done.
Later he gave me other things.

With his love still strong for a shame
less wife, who had borne him four chill
dren and then betrayed his confidence
for the attentions of one Chileon Bowen.
William w. Stephenson, a rancher of
Washoe, New, yesterday traced the wom-
an to a room at 1852 Larkin street,
where she and her paramour, a former
friend of the husband, were making their
temporary abode. Satisfied that his worst
suspicious had been confirmed, the hus-
band raped for admittance to the room
in which Bowen and Mrs. Lucy Stephen
son were sheltered. a demand that the
door be opened being met with a refusal
from within, Stephenson forced an en-
trance, but had barely crossed the thresh-
old when a shot from Bowen's revolver
ended the husbands unhappy life.
What might have happened in that
room had Bowen not prepared himself
for a meeting with the injured husband
is only matter of conjecture, but it is
easy to believe that quite a different
tragedy might have ensued, for Stephen
son, too, was armed and ready to force
his erring wife to leave the man who had
led her astray from her home and little
ones
A few minutes after the shooting Po-
lice Officer NJ. ]. O'Sullivan, who had
been attracted to the house by the shots,
found Bowen and Mrs. Stephenson bend
ing over the PROSTATE form of the muir
dered man. Later Detectives Mulcahey
and Matthewson took Bowen and the
woman to the City Prison, where Bowen
was booked for murder and Mrs. Ste
phenson was charged with being an ac-

FATAL END OF INTRIGUE.

The murder of Stephenson yesterday
was the culmination of an affair that
had been the Stalk Of Washoe for sew
eral months and had provoked much
sympathy in the little town for the in
jured husband. The man now in prison
for the killing of his former friend and
the woman who deserted her husband
for him coolly admitted yesterday that
their relations had been such as to ex-
cite the criticism of their townspeople,
and letters found on their persons con-
tain confessions of their shameful in
trigue against the dead man.
Last December the Stephensons in
vited Bowen to make his home at their
house until he could be more comfort
ably settled on his own ranch near by.
At that time he was boring q well in
the neighborhood, and promptly ac
cepted shelter under the Stephenson
roof. 1t was not long after that neigh
bors began to remark the attentions
Bowen was showing Mrs. Stephenson,
and stories Of his wife's friendliness
for Bowen finally reached the hus-
bands ears.
At first he was 10th to give credence
to the stories. One day, however, when
Bowen returned to the house from a
visit to Virginia City, Stephenson met
him and demanded that he find quar-
ters elsewhere and thereafter leave
his wife alone 1t had become known
to Stephenson that his wife and Bowen
had been together on frequent trips to
Reno and Virginia City. where they
seemingly made no attempt to conceal
their relations.

About the middle of July the fact
that Mrs. Stephenson was in need of
surgical attendance suggested to her
self and husband Il trip to this city,
upon which he was to accompany her.
Lack of funds. however, prevented him
from carrying out their original plans,
and on July Is the wife started for San
Francisco alone.
1t was but a few days later that
Stephenson learned that his wife. by
prearran cement had met Bowen at
Reno and that they, in company with
Mrs. Clara Brown and a young son,
had proceeded on to San Francisco,
where they had secured apartments at
the United States Hotel. The day after
their arrival Mrs. Brown went to Oak
land and Mrs. Stephenson entered st.
Wintfreds Hospital to undergo an
operation.
Leaving the hospital last Wedn esday
Mrs. Stephenson accompanied Bowen to
the lodging house on Larkin street.
where Bowen introduced himself and
companion to the landlady, Mrs. F.
Beck, as man and wife. How Stephen
son managed to trace his wife and
Bowen so readily TO their new abode
is secret that the murdered man will
probably carry to the grave. The fact
that his wife and Bowen had come to
San Francisco together aroused his de-
Termination to follow them hither. He
Immediately arranged for the care OF
his children at the ranch and finally
, succeeding in borrowing sufficient
funds to make the trip and meet the
expense of his wife's treatment at the
hospital he started on what has proved
! a fateful trip. Arriving here late Fri
day the husband proceeded to satisfy
himself as to the location of his wife
and Bowen and at 1880 o'clock yester-
day morning he quietly entered the
Larkin-stree house and hurriedly
climbed the stairs to the third floor.
, where Bowen and the woman were
sleeping.
Apparently the occupants OF the room
had some misgivings of the danger that
awaited them, for when Stephenson
raped at the door of the room Bowen
answered with a Hello" Let me in, y
shouted back Stephenson.
Mrs. Stephenson recognized her hus-
bands voice and called to him, Just a
minute, Will"
But patience was not to be endured
by the angered husband, who put his
shoulder to- the door, which a second
later crashed in, and as ii did there
was a report of two shots. When the
smoke cleared from the room Stephen
sons lifeless body was revealed lying
across the threshold.
Bowen, anticipating trouble, had hur-
riedly risen at the first sound at the
door, and getting his revolver had
awaited the appearance of the man
