ter an objection, which was ovsrruled, |
by the district-attOrney, who said her
testimony should be confined to acts of
insanity, she testified that she was made /
aware of acts Of violence of the deceased |
in the summer of 1865 Mrs. Walworth !
then continued, saying that in the sum-
mer of 1865 she had one evening returned /
home and was met by WalWorth with |
looks of fury. Their previous intercourse /
had been quite friendly, but he seized |
her by her arm and dragged her into q |
room, saying he would teach her to leave /
him alone. In 1869 he arose in the mid
die of the night from his bed and began |
swearing loudly at his sister, and acted |
in very violent manner. Another time |
he caught her fingers in his teeth and /
cut them severely. He had suddenly, in I
the night time, shook her until she had /
tainted. These fits came on without |
any apparent cause. To Mr.. Phelps
Only on one 0ceasiOnshad these fits of |
his immediatel v succeeded theirquarrels. |
Mr.. O'Conor said he had another |
batch of letters which he wished to sub |
NIT TO the district attorney and court, !

he was stopping az the Hoffman house,

come into his room. The witness was
not then fully recovered from the effects |
of his wounds and diseases contracted !
in the army. When he came, deceased |
began to call for his wife. Witness got
up and proceeded to dress himself, and
left the room, closing it after him.
Walworth followed, and pointed pis-
tol at him. Several persons coming up,
he was taken away by policeman. He
did not know Frank as well as his
brother did, but from the acquaintance
he had with him, knew him to
be good boy. Witness again de-
scribed the sceue at the Hoffman
house, saying it was about the time that
Mrs. WalwOrth was applying for d.
vOrce. At his request no complaint was
made against WalwOrth Witness had
! received several letters from deceased,
all of which he had burned except the
one read on Friday. He had also re-

WaIly Barbour, his cousin, and witness
had N April last started for walk
| they had gone but short distance when
the prisoner suddenly attacked him and
threw him down. Upon asking him
what he meant, Frank made no answer;
did not even look at his questioner, and
soon after wanted him to take tea with
| him. He never made any allusion to
his strange conduct, and acted as if he
was not aware Of what he had done.

confidence and regard, Of which the col
umns Of the Eagle of late bear testi-
mony. ! have just returned to the city
to learn that application has been made
to Victoria Woodruff for the letters of
mine supposed to contain information
respecting certain infamous stories
against me. have no objection to have
the Eagle state in any way
| it deems fit that Mrs. Wood
hull, or any other person or
persons who have letters of mine in
their possession, have my cordial con-
sent to publish them in this connection
and at this time. l will only add that
the stories and rumors which have for
some time past been circulated about
me are grossly untrue, and 1 stamp
them, in general and particular, as ut
terly false. Respectfully, H. w.B."
