Miss Smith, sister Of the murderer, and
through her he became acquainted with Miss
McCauiey about fourteen months since, and
becoming fascinated with her, he proposed
marriage. She accepted the offer and the
matrimonial ceremony was finally performed
at Wilmington. In short time after this,
and before the honey moen had passed, he
ascertained that her physical condition was
such as to warrant the belief that she was
pretty well advanced in pregnancy, and he at
once refused to live with her. AT the proper
time, she became mother while her husband
was in New York, or some other place The
accouchment took place in Philadelphia,
since which time she has been frequently Wis.,
tied by Carter and who took great care of her.
All these things came to the knowledge of
young Smith, and they weighed so heavily on
his mind that at times he was evidently in
sane. About a week since he stopped at the
store of an cid acquaintance at Wilmington
! and behaved SO strangely that after he depart
| ed, a remark was made that he '' seemed to
act as though he was insane" Yes" was
! the reply, land if you had half the trouble
that he has, you would be crazy too" The
| person who made this reply was confiden-
| tial friend, perhaps, of Mr.. Smith, and knew
all about the cause of his exhibition of trou-
BILE, eccentricity, or insanity. Smith has al
! ways pore u goOu character, was ever restless
/ though prompt in attending business, and
never could settle long in any one place. lie
had disposition to roam, appeared to like
change of scenery and business, and was ea-
/ silly excited. 1t is said that his father was
subject to fits of insanity, and that during
one of them he suddenly disappeared few
years ago, and has not been heard of since.
Miss Smith, through whose agency an ac-
quaintance was formed by Mr. Smith and
Miss McCauley, is represented as most ex-
emplary young lady, and who had>not the
slightest knowledge of the true character of
the one she introduced to her brother. The
statement, however, made by Smith at the
Station House, on Wednesday night, that Mr..
Garter had palmed her off as an adonted
daughter, does not seem to be warranted by
the facts and circumstances since developed,
MIR. Carter was not present at the marriage.
nor was he aware of ii till some time after.
and it is even thought by his friends that he
would have opposed anything of the kind had
he known it. Ii is said that during the con-
versat0n between Smith and Carter on Wed.
nesday night at the St. Lawrence Hotel, that
the latter smiled and said that he intended TO
60 and see Miss Smith at Wilmington, but
for what purpose it is not stated A moment
or two after this the weapon was discharged
at Carter, and with a single exclamation he
fell a corpse. His body was handed over to
his relatives on Wednesday night, and sent
to Tamaqua.
