TIE WAIwoRTH TRAGEDY. The further
particulars of the shooting of Mansfield Tracey
Walworth by his son, Frank II. Walworth, de-
yslop no mitigating features The boy appears
to have been cool and collected, and, if We can
believe his account, the father covered before
him, and promised everything, like craven
The father was in the prime of life, little
over forty, and had, 10 the years that we're
past, led life marked by thorough worthless
ness His was one Of those careers numer-
Gus of late-in which drink plays the part of
the tempter The man had fallen lower and
lower; he had insutcd his family; his wife had
obtained a divorce from him, and carried her
children with her. Even then he did not cease
to persccute her, and in the home circle at Sar-
atoga we may imagine many sad scene to
have taken place, many tears OF shame and sor-
row to have been shed By the wroDged woman
whose support was her good name. Take that
from her. as this man, once her husband, OBJ
viousy attempted and her school would have
dissolved like snow in spring. Such was the
provocation. OF course, young Frank Wal
worth could not have been ignorant of all this.
He was undoubtedly his mothers con6dant
and counsellor His father he scarcely knew.
At last, deliberately, with the nerve Of grown
man and hardened criminal, he conceived in
his heart the horrible idea Of parricide. He
laid all his plans with the utmost unconccrn,
and without trace of faltering. lie invited
his father to his death, and took care to pune
tualIy keep the appointment. As a social crime,
this of young Walworth has seldom had its
parallel The standing of the parties; the good
name Of the family; the descendants on the one
side Of Chancellor Walworth, and on the other
of Colonel Hardin, of Kentucky; the social at
mosphcre in which they had been educated,
and all their surroundings, were a restraining
power against the evil deed that had its origin
in the brutal and drunken downfall of the
father and the unbridled passion OF the son.
The innocent mother suffers with both, and Of
all is most profoundly to be pitied.- Baltimore
