William Reimann, who is supposed to be an ac-
compce of Mrs. Hartung in in the poisoning of her
husband, at Albany, n. Y, has been arrested in
that city. He denies any participation in the hor-
rible crimes. He told some of his German friends
that he was in New York with Mrs. Hartung
Sunday evening, but that he afterwards lost her,
He also stated his friends previous to his arrest,
that Mrs. Hartung advised him to return to Alba
ny; that he had nothing to do with the poisoning of
her husband; that she alone had been guilty of the
act. He says that she acknowledged that she gave
her husband a dose in the morning and another in
the evening, the day before his death. She said
that rather than return to Albany she would drown
herself in the river She is supposed to be in New
York or Jersey City. The Albany officers are in
pursuit of her.
The dead-letter office brings to light numerous
instances of careessness in addressing letters. The
following recently reported developments
this subject and may doubtless be attributed to the
hurry in which banks and large mercantile houses
close up their correspondence for the day. One
bank sends letter covering paper amounting to
thousands of dollars; inside the package is ad-
dressed to Nashville, outside to New Orleans. An
other heavy remittance is directed to Troy, New
York, without any address whatever on the inside.
third package was directed the outside to
Louisville, Kentucky, the inside direction to New
Orleans. Would it not be well for all banks and
mercantile houses to add to their copies of
pondence a copy also of the outside address the
letter? In many cases, when letters are thus sent
astray, that simp pie record might at once furnish
clue to its early recovery.
Having accomplished this herculean feat, he con-
! structed lantern from tin which he had in
his cell, and went into the work shops, where he
selected an iron weapon with which he no doubt
intended to knock out the brains of any man who
opposed him. He also found materials from which
he constructed sort of ladder, with which he
scaled the walls. He then stole horse worth 5000
belonging to of the attaches of the prison, and
made off. He left his prison clothes in the yard,
having, it is thought, made clothes of the blan
kets which he had in his cell. He was tracked ten
miles, his flight having been discovered about three
hours after it occurred, and was then lost.
