The case Of Mrs. Wharton, the
American Borgia, this now notorious
woman, has passed her first week in
Jail. For woman charged with such
a henious crime, and with the evidence
Of guilt apparently so strong against
her, one is surprised to see with what
she maint aims her position.
1t is said that while in the waiting room
at the Jail, awaiting for her cell to be
placed in order for her, she conversed
quite sprightly upon the topics OF the
day Her cell is fitted up with furn
ture from her own house. The floor is
carpeted, and a small curtain screens
her from observation. She eats and
sleeps we'll her meals are supplied her
from a first class caterers, and two
physicians visit her daily. She will see
none but her intimate friends, her law
yers and physicians. Her daughter,
Miss Nellie Wharton, shares her moth
ers confinement, subject to the rigid
rules Of Jail discipline. Mrs. Wharton
still persists in her innocence, aud feels
confident OF her acquital. SO confident
is she of her acquital that she is cody
making arrangements for the rental Of
her house on Eutaw street. There are
several rumors flying about town slch
as she has attempted to COMM suicide,
that she is crazy, g.. &c, but there is
no truth in any Of them.
