REVELATIONS OF GAMBLING HELL.-A
trial is now in progress in Cincinnati, grow
ing out of murder committed in gambling
house, in which some interesting revelations
were made by one of the witnesses, an attachee
of the house. He said there was a private
room in the house besides the room generally
used for gambling, and in this private room
paymasters and others who played "big
game" were taken. Paymaster Cook was
one of the visitors to this private room. Cook
was described as a 'sucker" among gamblers,
that is, he was a card-player, but did not know
all the tricks and traps in gambling and con-
sequently fell an easy prey to skilled 'pro-
fessionals."
One of the arrangements for robbing VIC
Tins, was a spring box, from which two cards
could be taken when wanted, and with this
box in skilled hands, any bet on the table
could be safely taken. The gamblers of the
house ''always had one man that could do
the cheating" The average amount tleeced
from the victims lately, was from thirteen
hundred to eighteen hundred dollars night,
but the witness had seen twenty thousand
dollars lost there in one night. As showing
how the gamblers treated the dupes they had
robbed, the witness said =
A gentleman from Maysville lost all he had,
and asked loan of some money. They said
he was gambler, and refused, and he said
he could prove he was not, and desired TO
borrow dollar to get bed. They would
not do it; he then asked me, and and Jim
lent him dollar. Another person from Mis-
souri, lost 500, and was broke. He told
them he was drunk, and that they had robbed
him of his money; and he asked for money
to go to hotel. He got five dollars, and
next day asked for fifty dollars to pay his way

eaten, produced sickness exactly similar to
that from which they were recovering. Sus-
picion having been thus aroused the dead
child was disentombed and examined, and
young Stackpole was arrested on the charge
OF murder. Since his committal he has at
times manifested signs of being deeply affect
ed, but Tor the most part has been stolid and
indifferent. lie has once, however, particu-
larly requested tina. all knowledge of his ar
rest and confinement may be kept from his
mother and sister; but he has also desired
that this information might be conveyed to
his father, with the request that the services
of counsel should be procured for his de-
Tense.
There is reason to believe Stackpole has for
weeks been harboring scheme of poisoning
or otherwise getting rid of his father and the
rest of the family, in order that he might enjoy
the property which he supposed would fall to
him. Iii clearly established fact that with
in three weeks he has bought poison not less
than four different times-twice from Mr.
Gardner Barton of Salem, and twice also of
Mr.. A. N. Clark of Beverly, in each instance
mentioning that the object in procuring it was
the destruction of rats in stable of his faith
er's. When arrested he had upon his person
phia partially filled with arsenic, and on
reaching the Jail at Salem the druggist, Mr..
Barton, at once identified beyond question the
bottle, and also the man who purchased it.
visit was made to the house of the Stack
pole family on Wednesday morning by Mr..
Dennis, in accordance with the request of
the prisoner, and the spectacle there witness
ed is described as having been one of intense
and painful interest, utterly impossible of de-
scription. So much of mental anguish and
physical suffering are very rarely visited upon
a New England household at one time as these
unhappy people are now compelled to bear
The conversation of the afflicted father was
heart breaking, his appeals to heaven for
death to lnterpose and end his distress being
constantly intermingled with CALCULATIONS re-
specting the guilt of his son. and the misery
experienced by himself at the thought of hav-
ing such a return for his endcavors to train
up that son to a life of integrity and honorable
usefulness.
The condition of the remaining members
of the family at last accounts was quite criti-
cal, the physicians not considering either of
the three as being ost of danger.

The Poisoning Case Mt Beverly-Start-
ling Revelations of Depravity


ling Revelations of Depravity.
The facts of the late poisoning case in Bey-
erly reveal one of the most startling chapters
of guilt and depravity ever enacted in Massa-
chusetts. We condense from the Boston pa
pers some of the particulars of this awful
crime. Charles Lorenzo Stackpole, who is
under arrest for attempting to poison his IA
theirs family, is but 81 years of age. The
family consisted of the father and mother, the
prisoner, and an older brother now in the
army, sister aged II years, and an adopted
child about three years old, who died from the
effects of the poisoning.
The father was formerly broker in Bos-
ton till 1857, when he removed his family to
Beverly, for the sake of surrounding his
children-then given to vicious practices
with better influences. The parents were
worthy and estimable people, but the sons,
from early years, manifested tendencies to
unusual depravity. The first evidence of at
tempt to poison the Stackpole family appeared
on Friday, March q, on which day the family
had soup for dinner, the eating of which
made them all sick. Charles, the son, ate
sparingly IF the soup, and said he was unwell
atterward; and the same soup being warmed
and put on the dinner table on Sunday, they
all partook heartily except him, he saying the
soup had made him sick once and he would
eat no more of it. Some of this soup was
subsequently analysed, and arsenic was found
in large quantities.
The family were taken very i'll after their
meal on Sunday, and on the following Tues
day physician was sent for, the impression
being that both the daughters were dying.
The messenger despatched for the doctor was
the son Charles, who, instead OF procuring
horse, (the physician residing several miles
away set out on foot, and having reached
shoemaker's shop, a short distance from his
1athers, went in and sat down, engaging un.
cohcernedly in conversation on frivolous top
les, and, after an absence from home of an
aour or more, returned, telling the agonized
family that the doctor would soon be. in at
tenuahce, long interval elapsing, however,
anu the physician not making his appearance,
ahother person was sent for him, and by this
process he was speedily brought, this being
the only lntlmation received by him that his
services were required
The daughter Caroline died. having en-
dured great suffering, on the following We'd.
nesday night, and the body was div en-
tombed. The other members of the family
gradually recovered from their illness. until
Tuesday of the present week, when, after
having sent Charles to procure some oatmeal.
they had some cakes for supper, which being

and the dealer gave it to him out of his own
