and had continued a correspondence until with
I in month Of his marriage. lie had not seducel
4 her, and she added, with emphasis, "As God is
my witness, an yrtuous !"
Miss Harris was about leaving the department
Wien Mr., Sengstack, the doorkeeper, desred her
to remain awhile, which she readily consented
to do and then Justice Handy came up, arrested
her, and committed her to Jail for investigation,
She told the Justice that she had killed Dur
roughs, and then taking the pistol out Of her
pocket handed II to him. ltwas o small Sharp'a
patent, four barrels, two of which were yet load
cd, the other two discharged
Officer George H. Walker conveyed her 10 the
Jail In q carriage. On tho way she told him that
she asked no sympathy for herself. All the
sorrow to lie felt was for her aged parents. She
charged that deceased had betrayed her, taken
her from home and friends, placed her iu house
Of i'll fame in Chicago, md that therefore she
had detI rmined upon this deed. For this pur-
pose che had purchased tho pistol in Chicago
aud had arrived here on the morning OF yeaer-
day, She gavo Officer Walker an address, aal.
ing him TO telegraph the fact to Louisa A. Devin,
Jancsville, Wisconsin, which ho did. She also
added that her father resided in Burlington,
Iowa.
One Of the clerks testified that sometime du-
ring the last summer young woman, resembling
Miss Harris, called ut the room of Mr.. burroughs
and inquired for him, when she was informed
that he was spending that day in Baltimore with
his wife. The person expressed great dsap-
poniment at not seeing him, aud intmated that
she was POOR aud did not know where she could
remain during that night
Another clerk had a recollection of q similar
inquiry at q more subsequent period, when tho
person calling again failed in seeing Mr.. b.
The jury rendered the following verdict:
That the said deceased left his room in the
Treasury building about O'Clock, P. NJ, on the
30th day Of Janaury, 1866; and that while On
his way through tha hall hs came to his death
by ball fired from pistol in the hands of IL |
woman said to DO named Mary Iiarris, said ball |
taking effect about two inches to the left Of the
spine in the region of the fifth rib.
1t appears that Mr. Burroughs was married |
less than year ago to an interesting young |
lady.
It is said that the deceased was at one time a |
member of the Presbyterian chnrch in Chicago. |
lie had not united with the church since his
removal 10 Washington.
With but one or two exceptions, no event has
so excited the residents of this city as this sad
tragedy, and seldom has so much sympathy been
as was last night manifested for all
this terrible affair.
