WAS A BUTTE WOMAN.
Sutipicious Circumstances Surround
ing Death Of Belle Gilchrist
'BUTTE, Mont., Sept. 1,-Bclle Gil
christ, the victim of the Nome mur
der, was a resident of thin city up to
throe years ago, when she was a well
known matron of the mess of the en
gineers, fumncn and bosses of the
Anaconda Mining Company. She
was about 50 years of age, and pos
sessed a small fortune, which was all
in personal property, a considerable
portion being left In the care of E.
G. Smith, a bookkeeper of this city.
The Gilchrist woman was prominent
in church circles during her residence
licre. Shortly after her marriage to
Johnston, a miner of prepossessing
appearance she left for Alaska. The
last letter Smith received in Mrs.
Johnston's own handwriting was
about 18 months ago. Since then two
letters came asking for money in lots
of $500 or $600 In each case it being
explained that Mrs. Johnston had
broken her arm and was dictating the
letter to her husband. The money
was sent ?wid the drafts came back en
dorsed in the handwriting of her hus
band. !
Three months ago, Johnston came
here and demanded an accounting of J
the money belonging to Mrs. John-;
ston. Mr. Smith's suspicions were
aroused and he hesitated about tak
ing action without papers better than
those of power of attorney, j
Johnston flew into a wrath and go
ing to Smithjs employer, told him
that he had papers in his pocket that
would send Smith to the penitentiary.
Johnston again approached Smith
with threats, but the latter told him
that he would have nothing further
to do with him and Jonston desisted
from further attempts to get money
and was not seen again.
4 Smith then communicated with Ross
Neagel, general passenger agent of
the Oregon Railway & Navagation
Company In Seattle, who investiga
ted and found that Johnston was liv
ing with a woman other than Belle
Gilchrist, who represented herself as
Johnston's wife, The officers were
then notified and Johnstn's arrest followed.

helped me put out the fire. Then I
crawled back and tried to get the
gun but it went off. Bob shot at me
again. Then he stood up on the bed
and shot himself three times. A dark
man and a policeman came in and I
told him I had shot Bob. I did it
because he had told me to take the
blame."
