 Thought of the loss of S20, 900 in property that would have been hers had she respected her marriage VOWS did not trouble Mrs. Hall It was not until Rsgo told her to ask for pit tance that she procured sl00 as a parting gift.
 Hall left her then. returning to his hotel, and to his home yesterday. Be- fore leaving he told his wife that he would get a divorce from her as soon as the matter could be arranged :
 Mrs. Hall, after the scene in Chief Leeper's office. went to the Vendome. where she lived in room No. and on advice from Rigo she consented to get away from the city until the mat ter had been forgotten. Rigo went to her apartment shortly after o'clock last night, but he was too late to tell her goodbye She had gone on the 7:20 train to San Francisco.
 Although I have been unfaithful within the last few weeks" said Mrs. Hall yesterday, my husbands actions drove me to this state He was un- duly intimate with women that were employed in his hotel, knowing this my heart was broken at the charge by him of infidelity When my reDu- tation was ruined in Bishop. I came to Reno, and here I found that the only way defenseless girl can live is by associating with care-free men. Now that my parents have heard of the disgrace I have brought upon them, l suppose that may as we'll continue doing as I have done here, I will not again live with MT Hall. l am even sorry that I accepted $I00 from him when We parted" Ben igo, alias Smith, was found by Journal reporter. Rigo supplied the picture of Mrs. Hall which the Jour- nal prints this morning. exacting the promise that it be returned to him, saying, Tt is the only one have"
 "She seemed to like the kind of music I play" said Rigo. 'The intro duction was sought by her, I think and our friendship grew from the first. Of course the notoriety is un- pleasant and would have been avoid ed if she had come to the hotel with me, where I meant to engage rooms.
 We first lived in the Clarendon, but on July 20 I rented an apartment at the Vendome. The detective who found us there. was certainly familiar with cur every action He showed me that there was no escape from the exposure. and it was up to me and her to confess.
 That scene in the office of the chief of police made an impression on me. Mrs. Hall sat at the end of the oak-top table, her diamonds gilt tering with her tears, and the aged husband scornfully viewing her from across the room
 As he produced these records of our life together, the shame of it all came on me for the first time. He read from the data prepared by the detective, and as each incriminating fact was voiced, the Bishop hotelman pointed his finger in anger at his spouse. saying. You did that.
 T have little respect for the wo- mans accuser. She is young thing, and hardly knew to what extent her actions were damaging her. The force of the charges made by Hall was not realized by either of us, I believe, un- til after the scene"
 Rigo then related the occurrences SluSS HIS llISl H6SIilS rWlJl ATS. Hdif. He told of the gay times they had en- ioyed, and how her desire to procure employment was forgotten in the rev elry that was hers every minute Of her residence in this city. He told how she startled the other women on the street by the natural grace with which she wore expensive gows, pur- chased by Hall of Bishop. The dia- monds. too. were discussed by Rigo.
 They were large stones," he said She told me they were bought in the days when Hall was wooing her, and how they startled the simple resi- dents of the Inyo county town. I could tell when she was sitting in her darkened room at the Vendome, by the glitter of those gems Pedes- trians on the street frequently re- marked to me that they could see dia- monds flashing from behind the win | dows in the room where she and I stayed
 Rige's own family troubles have been the cause of comment among his as | sociates in the tenderloiu here. He is married to pretty little girl in the | middle west, and often he speaks of the happiness they enjoyed until his | familiarity with other women caused an arrangement. Rigo has a daugh- ter who writes him heart-breaking | letters to return home.
