To-day, Mr.. Sickles is in state of com
plste mental prOstraiion, and though
throngs have visited the prison, he has
refused 10 see any but few of his most
intimate friends, with whom he has been
unable TO converse much.
He PAGES the corridor of the prison in
silent grief, frequently pressing his head
between hls' hands. He shrinks with
dread from every allusion to the horrible
event of yesterday.
Mrs. s. is confined to her bed by severe
illness, and refuses to see any one what
ever.
This morning she is to leave Washington
for her fathers house.
Mrs. 8. is represented as very penitent
and is overwhelmed with grief. She de-
clares that she has had enough of fashion
able life at Washington, and prays for OBJ
| livon.
She describes her husband when he re-
turned to tha house, after having accom-
plished his bloody work, as entering her
room, looking like a marble statue, only
uttering the sentence, 81 have killed him.
Mr.. s. was accompanied to his house by
two subordinate officers of the district,
who made him pledge his word and honor
before they would consent to allow him
to enter his wife's room, that he would dc
her no harm.
That he still entertains for her feelings
Of strong affection, there is no doubt.
He believes Key seduced her from thu
path of virtue and rectitude. and that bu
for him she would never have proved false
When a gentleman remarked to him il
iail This must be a terrible blow,
Mr. s. exclaimed, pressing his hand upo'
I. taV <.i,, aN6 N O
away. -
; 1t is reported that Mrs. S. is encsinte
and has made affidavit that she became S
in consequence of her intercourse wit
Key.
WAsHINGToN, March I.
There is no foundation for the allege
threats of personal vengeance against Sick
e les by any of Keys immediate kindred
. The Criminal Court meets next Monday
: and Sickles' counsel have not yet deter
mined upon their line of defense. If th
