LARAMIE, Wyo., April 10.—One mystery survives in connection with thé mititder of Mrs. Gladys Bergstrom by Her husbasid, Roy E.| Bergstrom; last Saturday—who is the unknown man whom Bergstrom claliis to have seer walking with-his wife just before the slaying, and what became of him when Bergstrom appeated, Mrs. LARAMIE POLICE Bergstroin Hlee-| ing into the building otcupied bj the prosecuting attorney and Was fol:! lowed by her hiisbahd ahd shdt dowh. That there was another man With} Mrs. Bergstrom immedifitély préceding the murder is indicated by the vidente of persons\ who were in the Vicinity at the time and whose testimony Wiis ab: sumed, wheht given immediately foliow- ing the murder, to relet® to thé move- ments of Bergstrom. According to these persons, men named Chickering and Nelson, within a very brief period 6f time after Mrs. Bergstrom was mur- dered at the door of thé prosecuting at- torhey's offices, they entounteredl in :#e alley at the back of the builiing In which the office is located, a man wo} was hasterling thrii the alléy tind who| field @ pistol dr révolvet fh his hand. Nelson States hé ortlered this man to} “halt” and that the’ minh thereupdn turned the gun thredtehingly in his di- rection, continuing his flight when Nél- son dodged behina a telephone pole. Chickering says he made no effort to Halt the armed man, “not hitvink ‘ost any fellow with a guh in fis hand.” Later a man tallying closely with thé description given by Nelson and Chick- ering, was observed near the Union Pacific tie plant, far, from the course} nbrgstromh piitsuéd after -he had sjain Mrs. Bergstrom. The mysterious stran- ger then was riinhing rapidly, seem- ingly in desire to get out of town. ‘The evidence of Chickering, Nelson and the negro who observed the man near the tio plant at first. was suméd to felate to Bergstrom, but subi- sequently testimony by Bergstrom and| eters established that it ¢ould fot rélite td Bergstrom's movements. Who, then, was the man seen in the alley with & gun in hi§ Hana? A natural umption is that he was the man} Bergstrom asserts, was walking on thd street with Mrs. Bergstrom at the time the ldttér tiiriiéd into thé building 6e- cupied by the prosecuting attoriey When her Vehgerul husband appeared on the seene. On this assumption, 4 tHeory ha& been formulittea that the infift with Mrs. Bergstram, observing bergstroni, recognizing him.as Mrs. Bergatrom’s) husband, and alarmed by his hostile demnéatior, feared an‘ attack by Bergstrom dnd fled from the scene, ruhning partly around the block and thru the alley at the rear of the build- ihg into which Bergstrom followed’ his wife, to mufder Her: The stranger's condueét in the alley—the presence of a gun in his hand” and his threatening training of this gun on Nelson—possi-| bly Were due tb apprehension thdt Bere: | strom Would slay him, and to misdp-) prehension that Bergstrom had gone} théu the building and thdt Nelédh, who called “halt was Bergstrom.” Mré.| Bergstrom’s compatiion oft the street if se taal 4 tompanion on the street} a8 {8 cidimea by gstrom~-is agsiimed under this theoty to Have been imbued | by a desire to get as far away froth) the husband as possible, as rapidly as possible, dnd to have continued his hur- ried departure even to the compara- tively distant point near the tie plarit where he was observed by the negro.) Pergstrom, it has been established, did not run thru the alley, but- Chickering and Nelgon testified that a man with & gun ih his hand did run thru the alley. Who was he? Why, did he carry a gun openly?. Why was he run- ning?
