of Samuel Drury, now in progress in
New York, for the attempted murder OF

In the hidden recesses of New York, in
the private rooms of men supposed re-
spectacle. where it is impossible for the
police to reach, there is intrigue in vice
and crime in every aspect, that challen-
ges the utmost credulity and makes hon.
est men blush for their race.
An attempt has been made by the ac-
cused to prove that Warner himself had
the torpedo sent to his house for the pur.
pose of destroying his wife, with whom
he did not live on the most friendly terms.
But the fact, that he opened it himself up.
on his return will rather refute such a
supposition. 1t must also be remember
ed, however, that he did it with great
caution.
From Mr.. Warmers own testimony,
we gather the following facts relative to
himself:-He is 46 yeas of age; was
born in England of poor parents; was a
collector of debts married the daugh.
ter of a journeymaD tanner in 1922, by
whom he had seven children, of whom
two are now living. He lived with his
wife in London until 1880, when he left
her and went with Mis-. Felsted to Liver.
pool, married women, with whom he
lived until 1886, when he lived with Mrs.
Latham, also married woman. With
both of these, the relation of man and
wife was ostensibly observed. Mrs. Lath.
am accompanied him to this country
and remained with him four or FIVE
months, when Mrs. Felsted came over,
with whom he lived from 1886 to June
1S47. About this time he first became
acquainted with Miss Busby, by whom
he had three children. In 1S47, he
opened correspondence with his wife
to come to New York, WIN soon after ar
rived, but would not live with him until
Miss Busby left the house. He prom
ised to be faithful to her and was for a
year, until her course and that of her
children rendered his home unhappy;
when he again visited Miss Busby. AZ
ter this another reconciliation took place
between him and his wife, with whom
he was living at the time the torpedo
box was sent to his house.
The testimony of Mrs. Warner cor.
roborated that Of her husband in most
particulars. In addition she testified that
when the box came marked as it was
confidential" her curiosity would have
led her to openit, hadit no, been for the
persuasion of her son. 1t was then
placed in Mr.. Warmers wardrobe until
Ills return. She stated that since his
visit to Miss Busby, she suspected him
of sending the box. Others also suspect
ed him.
There was also other testimony ub.
tanned by an officer listening by stealth
to conversation between "One Eyed
Thompson" Bristol Bill" aud Drury,
from which it would appear that anuther
attempt was to be made. which "would
blow them all to h IL"
This is most wonderful and extraor-
dinary case. All the parties interested
in it, accused and accusers, whether hith-
erto supposed respectable or not. have
the mask stripped from them and their
true characters exposed.
AT the latest accounts. the witne sses
had not all yet been examined.
