Tho Story OF n Membor OF tho He.
xonvctt Family.
From tho Nesp Tork Herald, JHnt 10.
Tho Herald reporter had long convoreation
yostcrday with a gentleman nearly connected
with tho family Of tho lato Chancellor Wal
"A1r. -" asked tho reporter, II want to
know your atncero impression Of Franks Btato
sa59ans Of Hana May ask you what you think on tho
tMy answer may aurpriso you;;, havo ridi-
not boliovo that man can shoot another down
nnd then bo allowed to pload insanity. I
heyo always laughed at the idea Frank
aro,. and Il :. you told him SO hc
would laugh Of, you. too, And yot ho has not
roalized what ho has dono. I havo aoon him to-
day, md hc still believes ho has dono mori
Of his family who sytnpathizos with tho crimo ho
Inns committed Our common fooling is ono Of
horror, and thoro ts not one Of us who would not
y!eld, UP our OWN life that tlAa terrible thing
dronmod Of ttB probability. You should have
soon Frank Walworth before this occurred. A
moro gentle creature nevor broathed than Saw
him at tho nquost, on Fridny Inst, 7 could not
believe that was looking upon tho aaulo boy
knew SO vol. You remember when lfr. Morohead
gavo that horrible description Of the murder; I
thought ho would havo wiltod and cried like
D child, but you Baw how unmoyed ho was.
b
with his own blood, was shown him, did ho be-
tray any emotion, and warrant that everybody
in court WINS mortified. Ho grows moro apa-
thetic evory day, aud aB this false Btoicl
courage inereaaes, bis condition, to ny mind,
however,, some day, and when 1t does come, and
whom he renlzes what he has done, Frank Wal
worth will he tho moet miserable man you oyor
saw On this earth. His nature is such that
should ho over realizo tho enormity Of luis crimo
tho effect will bo simply terrible, and pray to
God for his own sake, as doea every member OF
his family, that ho may mover ronlizo 1t"
NOV, Mr.: - to put % ond ,; onGo ; ana for for.
told with regard to tho troatmont Of ILLS vito by
Mansfield Tracy Walworth and tho aggravattny
circumstances which led to tlliB crimo may ask
what you know Of your own personal knowledge
to be tr1ie2 There oro 30 many conflicting
stories ABROAD, and from unauthorized SOURCES,
Herald"
ut is q terrible thing, sir to hare to lay bare
family soorots under Bucl circumstances, aud
other lito at tho exponae Of the memory Of tho
dead+ am charitable enough to suppose that
Mansfield Tracy Walworth was insane on ono
subjeot-that Of his Affection for his wife. I bo-
love that It he could bo now asked If he loved
his wife no would say that ho did sincerely
and with all hla heart. The fact Is, Mrs.
WalWotth WAS o handsome woman, OF roilned
taatea. Ho had low tondoncica, notwithstanding
his brilliant genius. She lived with him aa long
aa 1t was possible for woman to live with man
under such oircumBtances, and he only infused
her when he lost her. 11o WAS proud Of her as
an employer la proud OF confidential clerk,
whose value be does not appreciate until bettor
Manaod Tracy walworfh to tho % hoart Il that % tls
WOMAN shoNld havo left him, and I think tho
separation cost him his intellect" -

maltreatment OF his wlfo amount to2''

Walworth, o simple annuity, and loft the re-
mainder Of his property to 10 divided up for tho
support OF his family, knowing tho character of
