Mr. Charles Peck, n well known mer-
chant of this city who resides at Wnukegnn,
is Mt present held in bonds of s25, 900 to
answer 10 n charge If attempted murder,
the trial to take place Mt tho WnukePan
Circuit Court in September. The facts,
which are Hnid 10 be ms follows, have caus-
ed great excitement among the many friends
Of the accused Mrs, Peck has, for some
time past, been IL confirmed invalid and
confined TO her bed room under constant
medical care, aud has been taking n great
deal Of medicine. In the legal investign-
ton 1t tmuspired that Mr.. Peck came home
a few evenings ago with a powder which he
said was put up by mn eminent physician,
and which he desired his wife would
take, saying il would heal her Mt
once. His uneasy ANN aud his anxiety
that she should take it at once made her
suspicious, and On some preteNt she got
possession Of the powder, and refused 10
give it mp Next day she had il analysed,
and discovered that there was enough
morphine in II 10 kill two men. A magis-
trate was sent for, and took her deposition,
the apothecary was also summoned, aud
Peck arrested and put funder bonds as
stated. His friends have tried TO staye of
the trial az long ~ possible, aud keep
the matter quiet, not believing the almost
incredible charge under which he labors,
Mr.. Peck il OF tue wealthiest men in
that vicinity, and has had q good name
in this city for integrity. II seems impos-
sible 10 believe that investigation will not
prove his innocence. Chicago Post, 26th.
