The change in manner of the self-satlsned
rome was pitiful to behold. Under the
haze of the woman's eye he wilted like
leaf and in moment, instead OF the Drag
ring hero they had seen stalking the moor

With these words the wretch sank on
sofa. but no sooner had he touched the seat
than the woman was upon him. First, selz-
ing the chain OF his watch, she Jerked the
valuable time-k keeper from his pocket, and
hurting if to the floor, dashed it into frag-
ments. The next instant his shirt front was
in tatters. his vest i'll shreds, and his nne
broadclOth coat rent from tails to collar.
held her struggling victim, while with
clenched hand and sharp finger-nalls she
pounded and scratched his face until he was
covered with blood from head to foot.
The bystanders finally interfered, and re-
moving the enraged woman, gave the cow
ardly and bleeding wretch an opportunity
10 depart. After her excitement had some
repeated questions, gave the following eX-
PLANTATION of the strange affair:
That man. said she, sis my lawful hus- |
band. We have been married for nearly |
ten years. He has been employed as travel
ing agent for New York Pearl street var
nish house, and has been in consequence, |
absent FROM home most of the time Last |
spring he sent me to Canada to spend the |
summer while he travelled in the West.
'He left me scarcely any money, promis- |
ing to send Inc more soon. Months passed |
away and | never heard word or received |
cent from him. SuSpecting that something |
was wrong. raised money enough to come |
to Cincinnati, where l arrived and stopped
at the st. James Hotel last Fourth of July. |
| knew that this was the hotel that my hrls-
band stopped at when i'll Cincinnati, SO in |
qllired at the clerk office concerning him. |
The clerks reply was that Mr.. H. and his |
wife had left for New York only two days |
before.
"Maddened with rage, jealousy, and |
despair, determined that as l had nothing |
more to live for, l too would go to the devil !
In pursuance of this wicked resolution |
came to this house and entered upon life |
OF crime had been here but few days |
when l discovered that this was the favorite |
haunt of my husband, and that from this |
house he had taken a girl named Georgia |
West to support in luxury in New York, |
while l was left to starve in Canada. |
knowing that he would visit this house upon |
his return to this city, determined to re-
main here, meet him face to face, and kill |
him if possible.
He came before expected him, or 1 |
would have been better prepared. have
given him lesson, though, tonight, which |
he will not soon forget, and if he values his |
life he had better never again come within
reach OF my arm. To him owe my ruin, |
ana dearly shall he pay for the misery, |
despair and degradation he has caused me"
After talking in this strain for some time
the unfortunate woman's mind seemed to |
wander, and she continued to babble inco-
herently Of childhood days, incidents of her
happy married life, etc, alternately laugh
ing and weeping.
She was finally carried to her room in n
delirious and half fainting condition. which
will probably terminate in brain fever
What became Of the double-dyed villain.
whose faithlessness drove her to a life Of
crime, is not known, but it is thought he
has sneaked out of the city.
