the pretty young wife now imprisoned

be in great distress, and of no use.
She insisted, and at times pleaded for
the drug, and continued to make her,
self troublesome during the greater
part of the day. The young woman
was arrested the previous evening for
having stabbed her husband. He
reprimanded her for becoming addict.

words followed. Today the young man
is slightly improved and the attending
physicians believe he viii live, pro.

Mrs. Russell also sustained several
small wounds. The young was

The question covered all testimony

the testimony at the present hearing
is different from that of the first trial,
SO the hypothetical question differed
from the one ~propounded last year by

ATTORNEY MOORE is
NOW IN CHEYENNE.

Laboring under the Authorization
that Tom Horn, who met capital pun.
ishment in 1902, is still alive and
seeking him out to wreak vengeance
because he assisted in the prosecution,
Waldo Moore, formerly prosecuting
attorney of Chey enne, is now at the
home of his mother, under guard of a
police officer. Moore is armed with
two revolvers which he carries con.
%tinually, waiting for the appearance of
his imaginary foe, says the Cheyenne
Tribune. After leaving Cheyenne
Moore went to Denver and there en-
gagged in business. He became slight
ly unbalanced mentally about a week
ago and created quite a sensation in
Denver by claiming he prosecuted
Horn and that Horn did not die on the
gallows, as was supposed, but escaped.
and is now searching him out. When
Moore's family in this city learned of
the unfortunate mental condition of
the former well known attorney, they
fastened to Denver and brought him
back home. He arrived in the city last
night, and ever since his arrival he has
been the source of much worry to his
family. What arrangements will be
made to are for him have not yet
been determined by the family.
