for eight years his mistress. Follow
ing Is the Republicans acGount Of the
tragedy:
Her voice and body quivering with
pain. Miss Gordon confessed the shoot
at 2:l5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
after being brought back from LAfay-
cite. Colorado. in an automobile. She
claimed 1t was accidental. For an
hour she retained her coolness and
composure under the sweating OF the
chief-then She broke down and told
a terrible tale of humiliation and indig-
mites. which she claimed had been
heaped upon her by Shirey.
Miss Gordon finally slipped Imply
down In her chair. What do you want
to know" she demanded.
What did you do with the gun with
which you shot Shirey?" asked the
chief.
II hot him with his own gun and
dropped 1: on the floor" Then the
woman broke down completely.
Later she told her whole story to a
representative Of the Republican. She
lay. during the recital, on a cot in the
matron's quarters. her body quivering
with shame and horror, alternately
clutching a red worsted shawl with
shaking, toil-hardened hands. hard
ened in the service Of the man she
killed. Her body Quivered and shook,
her eyes stared wide at the scenes
she described. her voice was low,
tense, and monotonously despairing.
Il shot him with his own gun and
dropped 1t on the floor. l was kneel-
ing to him. begging him to treat me
better or let me go away from him for
ever and forget. But he kneeled be
side me, a little to the rear. and would
not let ne go. He wanted me to stay
with him the rest OF the night. But
said I could stand no more: was
broken-hearted and did not want to
live. He handed me a gun, l think
from his pocket, and said, Take this
gun, then, you damned fool. and go
kill yourself, but don't do 1t In my
house, l took 1t and raised 1t to-
ward my breast to shoot myself, but I
had been waiting for him so long on
the porch that l was cold and my
hand trembled. The gun went on and
shot iim. l did not mean to kill HIM
1 often told him l would never harm a
hair OF his head. because l did not
want to disgrace his children, whom
loved For myself. l did not care what
I came OF me. wish to God that it
had been me that was killed. wish
that 1t had been me-" and the agon1z-
ing words, coming between gasps and
sobs, ceased as she hid her flushed
and convulsed face in the pillow.
But in spite Of the confession there
