THE CHICAGO ScASDAL.-We give the reports
relative to the case of scandal in Chicago in
which Mrs. Burch, the wife of prominent Bank
err, and Mr.. Stuart prominent Lawyer were
parties This case like every other has two
sides. -arisstt iz2e = ssi7 a-4S . sssage2
\ The Review Of Chicago says:
Before another week had passed the case be-
gan to wearnew aspects, and now il matter in
VOWED in darkness and doubt
Then came the stunning reply from Mr. Stuart
that for months he had not visited the house of
Mr. Burch, and certainly was not there on the
day in Question. esr~Essg rga a 50
Then there arose in the community statements
to the effect that Mr.. Corning, unwilling to be-
hese his niece guilty is determined to protect
her rights, and has sent ON agents to investigate
as far AS possible, the truth OF the aspcrtions on
the ladys character. This agent or agents, and
We are aware that they have been here, are salts
fed that the whole is a plot by jealous husband
to put away his lawful wife. This her noble pro-
tectar is determined to resist, and he has placed
the cause Of Mrs. Burch in the hands of Mr.
Beckwith, an eminent lawyer of this city, who
Will bS hSSAslSu DN III McEiltk 1HcSe IactS are
to be taken with the rumor that when MIR. Eurch
followed his disgraccd wife to Albany to settle
the terms Of separation betwixt himself and her,
his reception by Mr.. Corning was very different
from what he expected .al
The cause of Mr.. Burch has not been improv-
ed by the manner in which he is said to have
treated his wife, subsequent to the alleged dis
covery of her guilt He degraded her, and, in
picking her name out Of the linen, and crasing it
from the plate, he erased it from that property
which he declared some years ago, inta defence
to tax suit, all of it belonged to her and not to
him. This, with his refusal to allow her to see
her children before leaving, forcing her to make
her exit from the rear OF the house which her
marriage dover is said to have given him, has
not worked in his favor. 1t is now boldly as
serted that the confession was extorted from her
after confinement, and others aver after pistol
had been presented at her breast. The docu-
ment was sworn to before Mr. Burcl,'s partner,
who is a notary public, and the grave charge OF
conspiracy is now levelled against them both.
Be this part as it may, Mrs Burch now denies
the substance of her own confession, saying that
it was extOrted from her. e4aG
We now give the readers of the Review copy
Of the bil as fled in the Office of the Clerk Of
the Circuit Court. The strangest part of this
document ID that it makes no positive charge Of
a recent act of immortality, such as Mrs. Burch
and Mr.. Stuart are said to have been recently
guilty of, but goes back to 1857 for direct
charge. a- -
The case ia to come on in the February term
of the Circuit Court, in the form of an applica-
tion by Isaac II. Brrch for divorce from his
wife Mary W., and it will be matter of interest,
in all the respects the Union over. The wealth
aud standing of the parties, Messrs. Corning,
Burch and Stuart, the eminent legal ability which
will doubtless appear in the suit, and the interest
Of the case itself, all combine to make it one of
the most remarkable cases ever tried in Chica-
go Court. r
