JEALOUS HUSBAND SHOOTS.
Both Mrs. Boardman and Stewart absolutely deny that
their relations were anything but friendly, and assert that
Boardman was cruel and abusive to his wife, and was an
habitually heavy drinker. A number of people in town
from Dawson corroborate this.
The trouble between Boardman aud his wife became
more and more acute, and she finally had him arrested for
beating her and threatening her life. He was bound over
to keep the peace. Last June he again attacked his wife,
and was rearrested aud sentenced to serve six months in
jail.
He was released on condition that he would leave the
country. At that time he signed an agreement of separa
tion with his wife.
Boardman came to Skagway, where he and his wife
formerly lived, and has been working here doing odd jobs.
He has been drinking heavily, and evidently brooding over
his troubles until he was in a dangerous mood.
Mrs. Boardman and hvr two child
ren, Eunice, aged 10, and Irene, aged
4, remained In Dawson. Stewart also
stayed In Daw ion. Mrs. Boardnian
and her children arrived In White
horse on the steamer LaFJrance. Stew
art came up the river on the Casca.
They met in Whltehorse and came
ever on yesterday's train. Mrs.
ltoardman got off at the shops with
Archie Kripps, a Dawson miner, and
walked to the house on Eighth and
Alaska where she was to stay. She
and Stewart were going to Tacouia
and she was going to sue for divorce.
Board man was up to the shops to
meet the train, but .evidently did not
see either his wife or Stewart.
He then returned down town and
drank heavily, evidently seeking to
nerve himself for the attempt on
Stewart's life. About 5 o'clock Board
man went Into a saloon and wrote
the following letter:
"To My Wife who Is leaving the
country with J. Stewart, the Gambler.
"I forgive you everything. 1 know
you are being Hypnotized by Jack
Stewart who is proving yours and
my ruin. God bless the children. I
love you all until the last. Speak of
me kindly to the children. During inyj
slay in Skagway I have made you
all kinds of promises any one of
which I would have kept and been a
kind and loving husband. You have
spoken very unkind of me to your
lover Mr. Stewart who has wrecked
our lives and ruined us both. Romen>
fcer me kindly to those I have forsak
en. Your loving husband."
The rest of the letter is Ineligible.
On the flap of the envelope was
scrawled :
"I leave her my curse forever."
Chief of Police Moore was notified
yesterday afternoon that Boardman
had a gun and seemed to be looking
for some one. Chief Moore searched
Boardman shortly before rthe train
came in, but found no weapon. Board
man says his revolver wau at the ho
tel at the time.
Mrs. Boardman, who Is stopping
with Mrs. J. J. Ward, was almost
prostrated today, Her two little
children were with her, dimly con
scious of the tragedy, their childish
minds unable to grasp its real import.
Mrs. Boardman stated that her hus
band had abused her for years and
was a heavy and habitual drinker.
She said he had little reason to be
jealous of Stewart and that she had
never gone with Stewart until after
she fpund it impossible to be with her
husband. She said that Boardman had
threatened to kill her and the child
ten a number of times when drunk.
Little ten year old Eunice came
cut on tho porch when The Alaskan
reporter was leaving.
"Is my father dead yet?" she asked,
There was hardly a trace of emotion
in her voioe.
She was told that he was alive.
"Will he get well?" was her next
question.
Tho little girl said that her father
was very cruel to her mother when
drinking, but that he had always trej.fc
ed her and her sister with great af
fection. She added that Stewart had
been very kind to her mother and
herself and sister.
U. S. Commissioner LeFevre held
a preliminary examination this morn
ing and will bind Bonrdman over to
the federal grand jury on a charge
ot assault with Intent to kill. The ex
a initiation will be resumed at 8 o'cloc
tonight. A number of Dawsonites wlJ
l.robably bo held as witnesses and in
default of $">00 bonds will be placed
in prison. Those subpoenaed as wit
nesses aro making strenuous efforts
to get bondsmen this afternoon.
