G. The Chicago Union relates the
story of wealthy lady on the shady
side of forty-ive, who became enamored
of youth of twenty-five, invited him to
her house, where, after some prelimina-
ry remarks, she made him an offer of
marriage. The young man declined the
offer, being already in love with young
lady, but after several interviews the
widow gradually won the young man to
her views, and finally he consented to
and did marry her. After the marriage
she refused to make over her real estate
to her husband, and this displeased him.
Recently he has absconded with the Young
lady, and his wife has sent police officers
after him, offering to give him full con-
troll OF all her property, if he will but re-
turn alone to his home.

the Mormons-men, women and chill
dren-had emigrated south, or were pre-
pairing to do so. Their destination is not
given. The majority very likely will
scatter, and settle on the Pacific slope, or
if they cling together, will seek home
in Mexico. The messenger says, the
Mormons had made no preparations for
war, and had planted no crops in Utah,
showing their purpose to have been to
break up in Utah, and either to scatter
or to emigrate into Mexico.
This news is unofficial, but it is con-
sidered reliable at the fort.
n. B. Private letters received here
and at the fort say that the point of des-
tination of the Mormons is Sonora in
Mexico. Doubtless they have been pre-
pairing (all of them that mean to stick
together,) for this step for some time, and
that, too, with the full knowledge and as
sent of the Mexican government"

Mysterious Murder of a Woman
SUPPOSED MURDERER ARRESTED.
ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURES.

Some time since, our readers will re-
member an announcement in the New
York papers, that barrel marked " W.
Fl. Jennings, 185 Leonard street, New
York" containing the mangled remains
of female, was found in the Hudson
River Railroad Depot at New York city.
An inquest was held upon the body at
that place, and the officers commenced
investigations. kilograms were sent
through Canada, and it was found that
the barrel had crossed the Suspension
Bridge. From thence it was easily trac-
ed TO Windsor, and was found to have
crossed the river from Detroit on the
18th of March on the Steamer Transit.
Further investigation located Chicago as
the starting point.
From this point, Marshal Rehm and
Captain Bradley commenced operations,
and by series Of successful moves and
detective strategy which is not necessary
to detail, a few days since made p their
minds who the man was. A consulta-
ton was held yesterday and it was de-
termined to arrest the man last night
They proceeded to the shop where he
worked, Messrs. Frazza & Ribolla's bar

waited until the time of closing, and
when he came out TO go home as usual
he was arrested. His name is Henry
Jumpertz. and he is journeyman bar

The circumstances of this cold-blo9d-

follows in the outline
The name of the murdered woman is
Sophie Werner; her maiden name was
Elten. She was twenty-nine years of age,
and the wife of Frederick Werner, who
formerly kept barber shop under the
Revere House, at which Jumpertz work
ed. Werner at the same time was living
with another woman, whose name we
are unable to learn. This was in the
latter part of 1855. Somewhat over a
year ago, Werner absconded from the
city with this woman, leaving his wife
here. His business was broken up, and
his wife lived with barber under the
Sherman House. Jumpertz was board

her, and finally so far prevailed upon
her that she left her former paramour
had lived with him. He hired rooms in
Pitkins' building, in South Water street,
taking their meals at a restaurant on
Lake street.
After that building was burned, last
fall, in the great fire, he hired room in
the fifth story of Pomeroy's building, at
the corner of South Water and Clark
streets. After they took the room, they
ceased taking their meals on Lake street.
He provided stove, table, dishes and
other articles, and she did the cooking.
After time the woman became enciente.
He tried to keep the matter a secret,
but it leaked out and his associates con-
tinually annoyed him for living with
low Dutch woman.

They lived along in the old style until
Sunday the sixth of March.
That morning he vert to the shop as
usual and returned at half-past one to
dinner. The prisoner says that as he
opened the door it pushed hard, and
when he got into the room, he found her
hanging by a cotton rope to common
screwhook, driven into the door, her feet
almost touching the floor. This is the
prisoners version. He cut her down and
laid her the bed. Upon the table, he
says, he found letter, saying that she
forgave him, and wished she could have
died by the side of Werner He then
sat on the window-seat about an hour,
thinking what he should do with the
body. To convince himself that she was
really dead, he took the body off the bed,
laid 1t on a matrass on the floor and cut
her with lancet in several places. AT
the first incision drop or two of blood
flowed, but afterwards none. On the next
day, he took out the entrails and carried
them two or three miles off on the prairie
and buried them. His first thought was
to throw the body into the river, but
there was too much ice.
He then procured common case knife
and carpenters saw, and, after much
trouble, succeeded in getting them suffi-
GENTLY sharp to perform his bloody work.
After cutting the body up, he procured
common whiskey barrel, put the limbs
in, after burning such parts of her
clothing IS had blood spots on them, and
headed it up. On turning the barrel
over, he saw water and blood coming out
from the Iung-hole. He took it out and
threw in aquantity of -four to staunch
it, puttiedup all the cracks and painted
it all over.
Early ii the morning of the 10th of
March, after keeping the body ten days
in his room, he met drayman on Clark
street bridge and asked him to take the
barrel to the depot. The drayman con-
sented, AMI went up to his room. He
proceeded to roll it down stairs. jun
pertz, fearful lest the barrel might burst,
requested him to carry it down stairs, but
he refused, and rolled it down as he had
commenced, the body rafting against the
sides of the barrel, all the way down.
filling him with dread and apprehension,
lest the drayman should discover his Sc
cTet. The body finally got to the depot
and shipped to New York that morn
ing.
Thus ends fo- the present this tale of
blood and horror. The greater part Of
it is his own version, taken from his own
lips. Whether he is guilty of the terri
bic crime of murder, the courts will de-
termine, and it is not for us 10 say, but
his own story shows him to be a thor
oughly vitiated and hard-hearted man.

be cut into mince meat, and the Anti
Lecompton men rushed over in body
to the rescue. Foremost came Mr.. Pot
tier, Of Wisconsin, very athletic, COM
pact man, who bounded into the centre
of the excited group, striking rig ht and
left with tremendous vigor,U Wash
burne, OF Illinois, and his brother, of
Wisconsin, also were prominent, and for
a minute or two it seemed as though We
were to have a Kilkenny fight on mag
nifcent scale. Barksdale had hold of
Grow, when Potter struck him severe
blow, supposing that he was hurting that
gentleman. Barksdale turning round
and supposing it was Elihu Washburne
who struck him, dropped Grew, and
struck out at the gentleman from Illinois.
Cadwallader Washburne percelving
the attack upon his brother, also made
dash at Mr.. Barksdale, and seized him
by the hair, apparently for the purpose
of drawing him ''into chancery" and
pummeling him to greater satisfaction.
FL orrible to relate, Dir. Barksdale's
wig came off in Cadwalader's left hand
and his right fist expended itself with
tremendous force against the unreslsting
air. This ludierous incident unques-
tionably did much towards restoring
good nature subsequently, and its effect
was heightened not little by the fact
that in the excitement of the occasion
Barksdale restored his wig wrong side
foremost. 49,, as@
The Tribune has the following on the
subject: ase
Supposing that the whole lot were at
lacking Mr.. Grow, Mr.. Potter ofWis-
consin dashed in among them, dealing
heavy blows on all sides, and receiving
some very severe ones in his face and on
various parts of his person. Wash
burne, ofIH., at the same moment sprang
over the chair and desk to Mr.. Grows
assistance, followed by his brother of
Wisconsin, Tappan, ofN. H., and other
Republicans, The Southern members
thus furiously assailed of course defen-
"ded themselves, and some who entered
the arena as peacemakers left it as COM
batants. The battle was severe while il
lasted, and revealed very unexpected
readiness for fight among the Northern
men. 5l 1,1yYssIs .tIsIl
Mr.. Barksdale, mississippi, who was
among the most active, encountered at
one moment, Mr.. Potter of Wisconsin,
who was decidedly the champion of the
ring. Potter grasped Barksdale by the
hair, with the evident intention of put
ting that gentleman's head into chan
Gerry. To his unutterable surprise and
disappointment, the hair came off. The
Mississippian was scalped. He jumped
about baldheaded, making frantic efforts
TO recover his wig, which Potter had
disdainfully tossed among the crowd,
some one of whom kindly restored it to
its proper owner. a s.
