The young man, who is bRcwn as Boston Charley
stated that he had not lived with his wife for over two
wears; that she had resided at the Brandreh House,
St Denis, and other places, living fast life. These
facts were communicated TO Deputy Carpenter, and

which neabs they tracked Mrs. Richardson for period
OF over two years. during which time she lived In mag
piaceDt style at the s.. Denis; next to the house Of
| doctors in Astor place; thence to the St. Julien
Hotel next to private house in University place.
| from there to the Lafarge House, whence she
went on board the steamship Cahawta on The 18th Of

mupity had paid Mira. Richardson's hotel bills, the
week.

man pied 10 sever his connection with Mrs. Il.
as her demands upon him for money were becoming
more and more exorbitaE., sometimes compelling
him furnish her with 500 $500 time in order
70 pre- vent exposure, and that the total sum in two
years extorted III this manner, amounted to nearly
