Of friends, and the effect has been
unfavorable to her. Sprague was
not under the influence of liquor
during the recent interview with
bis wife. He half invited hor re-
turn to Cononchet. He will make
no answer to her statements, and
considers himself legally entitled to
the children, and believes his wife's
place Is Cononchet. He has prom
ised her protection and peace, un-
less she decides to return to her
previous advisers. No intimation
is given that she is detained
against her wish. Sprague repels
with indignation the inuendoes
against his wife's virtue. Her al
legged intimacy with Conkling is
attributed to her having sought his
legal advice, and Sprague's enmity
grows out of political differences
with Conkling when Sprague was
Senator. Reports are current that
Mrs. Sprague desires separation,
but her husband is averse to di-
vorce. The Governors indignation
is less against his wife than against
her advisers. When he took up
the gun, the other day, it was
against Conkling.
