20 Escape 81 Load of shame.
A scandal affecting Furman L. Richardson, q
prominent member of the New Jersey assembly,
aud the wife of John Downs, we'll known resi-
dent of Cape May, has almost had tragic ending.
The injured husband, nearly frantic with despair
at his wife's unfaithfulness, attempted to COM
nit suicide by swallowing dose of laudanum.
Soon amer the inlriguer had been discovered,
and the wife had tearfully confessed her guilt,
Downs became very much depressed, but showed
NO intention Of taking any rash steps. He WIS.,
ited the house of n friend early on Sunday morn
ing. and told him the whole story. He seemed
particularly hurt that the man who had been his
bosom friend, and with whom he fraternized as
Masonic brother, should have proved such q
more pity than anger, and cried when
he spoke of his disgraced family. He
said that he could not believe the rumor
at first, but that the intimacy became so marked
that he was forced to make inquiries, and upon
following his wife to Philadelphia aud employing
firmed. lie told his friends that he came home
heart-broken man, without hope or care for the
future. On Saturday afternoon no went to u
drug store and purchased three ounces Of lauda-
mum. Then he went home and, going into the
second story of his house. swallowed the con-
tents of the bottle. Tho poison, instead of pro-
ducing sleep, produced nausea, and about twenty
minutes afterward Downs was discovered in a
recommendations state. Restorattyes were imme-
diately applied by the alarmed friends, and the
apparently dying man was placed on board n
train for Philadelphia, and taken to the hospital,
where he was lying at last accounts in precarlOus
condition. II Is rumored that Richardson and
the injured husband will do, should he recover,
