A beautiful woman, her wealthy admirer who bestpwed gifts and the young athlete whom shs mar ried for love and letter shot, is the dram atis personae in the story that will cul minate when Mrs. Gertrude Gibson Pat terson goes on trial for her life, Mon day, charged with murdering her hus band, Charles A' Patterson, son of a well known Chicago family, Emll W. Strouss, millionaire Chicago clothier and clubman, who, Mrs. Patterson says, "bought me for 11609" from, her hus band, may or may .not come here to testify. Speculation on this topic pro vided the sole subject for conversation In Denver today, , Both the attorneys for Mrs. Patter son and Special Prosecutor Horace O. Benton made statements today declar ing, themselves confident Mrs. Pat terson reiterated her opinion that, when the whole truth Is told, the Jury will acquit her. She spoke In calm, sub dued tones, but ft was plain to see that she was agitated by mental strain. She looked several years older as the result of her two months' Imprisonment in the county Jail. v . ' Old Story Bepeated. The old, old story of the young girl who Is taken up by the millionaire to be educated abroad Is told again In this remarkable case. Strouss played the part of the . millionaire, and Mrs., Patterson was the little country jfirl. He was traveling on business when he first saw her in a little Missouri town. Tears changed the girl Into a beau tiful woman, and when the millionaire left Chicago and finally called for her at her school in Paris she was no long er a child. There waa a debt to pay and she says she paid It. The wife story, fully substantiated. aaya that Strouss ,became her protec tor. They traveled together and the millionaire lavished gifts upon her. Ue frequently registered her at hotels as hia wife, and .when she was alone and away from him, she received her re mittances and letters under the name of Mrs. Strouss. r; , By three years? ago Gertrude Gibson had reached the fullness of beautiful womanhood. , She was then 27 years of age and 'her life of luxury fnd her studies at Paris had given her grace and charm. - She waa visiting relatives In Chicago and went with a party to a skating rink when she met young Pat terson, four years her Junior.. He had been a football player, was handsome and popular among young people In the ungiewooa suburb or the big middle west city. 6ne was ..attracted by him and he in turn became interested. They were inirooucea. aCsrrled Is California. The young woman " forgot about Strouss., She went to Los Angeles and then wired Patterson to Join her there. They were In love. She asked young Patterson to marry ,her so the friends of the dead man declare. They went to Mount Carmel by the sea and were mar rled. They returned to their hotel In Los Angela,,r fi J tf- ykv The bridegroom,' In the hotel, "over heard his wife asking fox the matt of s Mrs,,., Strouss. r He was puriled and, when he asked her on the bridal night, she broke down and told all the truth. As she sobbed out the confession of her past the husband forgave her and they started with fair play on both sides to Share life as man" and wife. i Illness overtook the young husband end It developed Into pneumonia and then Into consumption. The man and the wo became poor. '. Times were when they did not know where the next meal was coming from. They struggled along, and ever In the mind of the wife was the memory- of the wide and deep and well filled purse of the man to whom she had sold herself as a girl. Now, aa a wife, she might sell herself to him .once more. ' And. If her story la true, - she" did. or rather ber husband sold her to him. ' "Mr. Patterson forced me to sell my electric, and the tiiO got for it went to him," she .declared. "The club he held over my head was my disgrace, the slavery Into which he had sold me." The amount which she said Strouss "He threatened to make It all pub lic," she said, "and to save my people I bought him off. r , - ' "Then he demanded more, and when l refused, he filed hla ult for ftt.Odo for alienation of affections against Mr. Btrouss. I waa heartsick. I , knew the disgrace that would be brought upon me and my family, and I decided to kill myself. I wrote, though, to .Mr. Pat terson, to ask him to come to -me, that we might talk things over. I thought I could dissuade him from prosecuting the unjust suit So I wrote him a note, and then I 'phoned to find out If he'd see me. , . w Divorce arrested. "' A "My suggestion was that we go to the sanitarium, because there is a nice park, there where we could sit and 'talk, but he said he would prefer to ' meet.; me at the Rlchtofen castle. . I went there. I told him what a terrible thing I was doing, and he said that If I would deed to him my bungalow, he would . let me get a dlvoroe without a conteat and nev er mention Strouss's name to me again. , "Willingly would I have paid that price to be rid of the awful worry of the thing, but I had bought him off before on aome such agreement and be bad never kept his word. I know that when I gave him anything I had tn ; the world he would turn on me again." Then I did the only thing that was left to me I killed him." . ., y The prosecution . Is said to depend, largely upon proving much of Mrs. Pat terson's story to be untrue. Prominent lawyers declared today that It is their opinion that, if Mrs. Patterson can make a jury believe her testimony' and the prosecution cannot shake It, she will be set free. '.The consensus of opinion in -legat circles . Is that the entire esse hinges on a question of veracity, unless the' millionaire Strouss, takes the stand. ' " ,. i , , "! 3v.r, ,$ For the amount 6f Interest shown by ' the general public, the Patterson trial has never been equaled by a orlminal ' court case In Denver, and seldom has It been surpassed elsewhere. 1 - five Sib e .Fimislii .Hits We desire that you become familiar 'with our ttock.
