Thence it deflected upw: and inwards towards the left and in course passed through the t the division and_through the aorta or m: artery from the heart into the loose tissi under the breast bone. Death was causod by the oullet prercing the aorta or main artery. Thus caused internal hemorrhage and death. Irom the direction of the bullet I should say it was shot from above.

King, jr., the murdered mau, is the son of H. W. King, sr., of the great cloth- ing firm of H. W. King & Co., Chicago. He is about thirty two years of age. He grew to manhood in Chicago, cnjoying all the pleas’ ures of that great city under the Jiberal era- tuities of his father, who is ranked among the wealthy men of that place. ‘The firm is one of the most substantial clothing houses in the world. It has eizht branchies, one in each of the cities of Phila- delphia, Cincinnati, Boston, Kansas Uity, St. Paul, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Omaha. It is composed of H. W. King, sr., the senior member, who is rated at about £3,500,000; W. C. Browning, who is worth $1,500,000, and C. W. Dewey, who is also very wealth The deceased is ulso interested in the concern, being included in the *Co." Theso houses were estublished by the firm in the main to occupy the attention of young King, who from an early nge had evinced a disposi- tion which practically unsuited him to the tedium of close commercial life. He was placed in charge of the outside concerns, having general supervision of them, the de tails in cach case being attended to by local managers, ‘The branch house in this city was estab- Lished about five wecks, though the deceased bad buen here for some wecks before the opening. He readily made the acquaintance of prominent bus: ness men with the younger and gayer of whom le easily became very intimate. wus a handsome young man, with tlorid com- plexion, affable manuer and cheerful dispo- sition. ' He was a_good entortainer and siw as much of the lively, though unobjectionable, sideof life while here as any young mau could be expected to sce in the ‘time men tioned. He patronized the theate the drives, attended dinner parties and was at night generally found in the bosom of his boon companions, hortly ufter his coming he rented u suite of rooms from an estimable lady on Dodge street, whose name is withheld. This wus about 'the 27th of July, He held the snite for a short time, when he stated it was too warm and asked for a room on the first floor of the house. He took possession of this a few days later aud on the follow- ing Sunday introduced to the landlady, a voung, modest and pretty girl named Moore, who, he said, was his cousin, He rented an: other rooumfor er for a couple of days, until ler wother should urrive. The wother failed to urrive at the fime montioned, and in the meantime the landlady had discover that King and Miss Moore had borne relations other thun those of cousins. So satisfied was the lady of this ot that she gave Mr. King to uaderstund that he had deceived her, and that she could not entertain him nnder her roof. King protested that Miss Moore wus his wife, but the landlady did not belioy Lim. Finally, both left the house, Miss Moore, on Saturday night, claiming to go to St. Louis, where it is thought she lived, and King going to Chicago. The latter, however, kept the key of his room, and though he was several times writ ten by the landlady, he gave questionable answers as regards his future intentions with regard to the place, He finally wrote, however, stating that he would return about tho 415t of September, which e did, ocoupy- ing his room but one night. He then assever- ated that he bud been married and begged the landlady to keep secret the fact of the marriage, offering her any sum which she might desire. The party however, did not stop in the Louse, going to the Barker, where they lived as mau and fe, and subsequently moving to the Pax- ton, which they entered on the frd of this month, A few nights ago Mr. King gave a wine supper to & number of his friends, it tho Paxton, among whom were some mein- bers of the college from which he graduated. His wife was introduced to the guests, as sho had previously been to many of the most prominent families of Omaha. As appears in the statement of the woman who did the shoot ing, the wife with whom Kinglived here was the third to enjoy that title. Krom the first of these, a notorious woman of Chicago, he was divorced ata groat cost to his father.
