took poison, and another being that he
was poisoned by a mysterious man culled

motive for the awful crima was that Mrs.
LeDoux feared prosecutiou for bigamy.

over. Mrs. LeDoux redened a bit, but after
.v, a few minutes her face resumed its usual
exprsjsjpnless appearance. After all

Mrs. Mary Head, in the ante rooms and
throwing her hands above her head she
uttered a little cry and rushed into the
arms of Mrs. Hud. T.ia latter sobbed
batrs. Le Ooux shed no tears
i-jsiowing the pathet'C scene in the a.i-te-room,
the prisoner was led bacK to the
. j il. The sheriff vas directed by Judg
Nutter to deliver the w jti.an to the custody
of the warden at San Quentm prison with

ence was finally announced.
