SENTIMENTAL CUT-THRoAT.
The Sad Story Told by John Paul BrOwn
in the Criminal Court.

John Paul Brown, who figured as the
principal participant in bloody scene at his home
on Fifth street, between and streets northwest,
on the night of November 81 last, was tried and
convicted in the Criminal Court yesterday of an
assault with intent to kill his wife ROsanna Brown.
On the night mentioned Brown induced his wife,
who was not living with him, TO accompany him
home, and there attacked her with razor, cutting
her throat and cheek; but she escaped before he
could accomplish his murderous design. After
ward he cut his own throat. Both recovered from
their injuries and Brown was indicted. Mrs.
Brown told her story to the court yesterday and in
dignantly denied that she had been unfaithful to
her marriage vows. She married Brown she said, in
Railway, n. j., over nine years ago, and they had
one child. Her husband was formerly we'll to do.
At the time Of the cutting she was making her own
living by cooking, washing, and ironing in q
family on Sixth street, between o and streets;
but he objected to her living there. Brown offered
no testimony in his own defense except sad story
of his life. In early life he said he had been very
poor, and married woman under whose love and
influence he had risen to success and wealth. After
her death he married his present wife and lived
with her in Philadelphia, where, he alleges, she
was unfaithful to him. In order to break
off the evil associations she had formed,
| he brought her to this city to live.
She here pursued the same course of life, and
caused him such suffering that his health and
spirits were broken. He was endeavoring on the
night of the 22d of November to induce her to re-
turn to him, when, during the interview. while
looking for letter, he came across photograph
of his first wife. a food of tender memories,
thoughts Of past happiness and present misery,
crazed and Infatuated him, and he knew nothing
more until he was lying in the street with his
throat cut. The jury after a short conference,
separated the sentiment in the case from the facts
and returned q verdict of guilty. Messrs C..
Maurice Smith and Ross Dean, Browns counsel,
gave notice of motion for a new trial. An effort
will be made by Browns counsel, on the strength
of his sad story, to secure pardon.

Ben Butler is one of the biggest eaters
that visit the Fifth Avenue hotel. He
devours an enormous quantity of meat,
vegetables, milk, coffee, salads and
sweets. A chicken disappears before him
as though he was Methodist preacher
and it was partridge. He doesn't affect
wines. At his home he has several vari-
ties upon his table, but he drinks only
about tumbler full of sherry. If he
wants drink he takes glass of Jamaica
rum, or the statesman's drink, brandy
He eats four meals day, and is never
troubled with indigestion. He smokes
cigars that are strong enough to knock a
marine over.t9
