heard In all the marts OF trade and business.

It is alleged that she endeayored to poison
the wife of well known merchant OF Balt-
more, who, with his family, went to Europe
some weeks since to escape Mrs. Wharton's
company. It is stated that Mrs. Wharton had
conceived great affection for this lady's hus-
band, and that she was preparing to follow
him abroadwhen suspicious circumstances de.
tanned her. 1t is believed that the evidence
to be given from the parties in Europe will be
more conclusive OF the wonar's guilt than all
the other testimony put together"
