Williams told Mrs. Hadden that after
looking over the ground he had decided
to incorporate the mining property at
Cripple Creek and put in new machinery.
To do this be' needed a little money to
use before he and the brlde-to.be took
their honeymoon trip to Chicago where,
he promised her, the money would be
returned, Accordingly she drew from
the bank fl.600 and gave tha sum to
Williams.
The day after they were made man
and wife. Williams took his bride to
Chicago, paying for the ttckete out of
her money, whloh he had nestled safely
In bis pockets. . Upon reaching Chicago

hotel. The day of their arrival Mrs.
Hadden saw but little of ber husband.

plight to the hotel management, and the
guests of the house made up a- purse
for her ao she could return to Colorado

Mrs. Hadden did not go. She had
