estate what took place between you and
Mr.. Stiles!"
II was playing on the piano and singing
when Mr.. Stiles was introduced to me. He
talked Italian to me and came to see me
there quite often, and made my lover jeal-
GUS, so that when Mr.. Stiles continued
to come to see me he would not
marry me. Then Charley stopped there
with me and afterward went away, and
then in July, 1877, he came back. He had
lost all his money at the races; he didn't
have any when he came back. He brought
his trunk and stopped at the house with
me for another week. Then when
he went: away gave him
5000 to play the races, and
after that lie wrote to me from different
places, full of love, and once in while he
would send for more money. Iwould send
it to him to different places. He then be-

Sunnyside and her return to Chicago to
kill her lover, she broke down and wept.

and was writhing in CONFUSION, the eff

to hold her. Her shrieks and cries added
to the excitement, and Judge, jurors and
spectators rose up to better see the pain

her cell to recover, and adj burned for the
day.

CHICAGO, Dec. As Rev. DR.. S. n.
Mead, the rector of the Emanuel Episcopal
church, and assistant pastor of Christ
church, was returning from service at
Emanuel church, and when at the corner
of Stewart avenue and Tinnell street, he
was assaulted by two roughs, who knocked
him down, beat him in the side and aldo
men until he was unconscious, and then
robbed him of gold watch and chain
worth $50, check for $50, letters,
memoranda, ETC., and a purse contain
ing $29 in cash. As soon as
he regained consciousness, DR.. Mead arose
and made his way to the house of a friend,
thence to the police station, where he re-
ceived needed attention, and was taken to
his rooms at the Southern hotel. A physi-
clan was summoned, and after an exami-
nation said no ribs had been broken,
though DIR. Mead is of the opinion they
sustained some serious injury. The kick
in the abdomen is the most painful. There
is no clew to the assailants, and DR.. Mead
is certain he would not recognize them, as
it was very dark.
