ISnecial Telerram to the Globe

CHICAGO, D5c. 10.-Ihe second act OF
the Briggs house tragedy of Friday night
closed yesterday evening with the death of
Patrick Kingsley, and Sadie Ray, who still
occupies a cell at the Armory, will have to
confront the awful charge of murder.
Kingsley. il will be remembered, was
taken to the Alexian Brothers hospital af-
ter the shooting. He never recovered
from the stUpor which ovsrcame
him efter the fatal shot
and his condition was such that the last
rites of his church were administered to
him. The bullet, the fourth fired by Sadie
Ray. passed through the right p~arietal
bone just above the ear, and thence int
the brain, whereit lodged in the skull, op-
posite the wound, out of which a portion
| of the brain oozed. From Friday evening,
up to the end. which came at $50 O'Clock
yesterday evening, the patient remained
unconscious of his surroundings. He was
visited by a cousin on Saturday last and a
brother was present at the death bed. The
demise wa not accompanied by any vio-
lent commissions. The only signs of agita-
tion were a few twitchings of the body and
the oozing out of portions of the brain
through the n~ostrils. The coroner was no
| titled and an autopsy held to-day. The de-
| ceased was an Irishman of about thirty
five years of age, He came to
this city several years ago
from Milwaukee served as waiter in the
| Massasoit house and during the last six
months as head waiter of the Briggs house.
His employers gave him the reputation of
having attended faithfully to his duties,
but a number of the fellow workers of
Kingsley did not think well Of him on &C.
count of his characteristics, which led the
exasperated girl to commit the deed.
In every circle in the city
can be heard none but
words of sympathy for the girl and praise
for her defense of her character. Several
| prominent police officials have openly ex-
pressed their sympathy for the girl, and
the hope that no punishment will be melted
out to her. She is still confined at the
Harrison street police station, and will not
near of Kingsley's death until morning.
A reporter called there to-
night, but the girl had
retired and on account
of her physical prostration
it was deemed best not to disturb her nor
spare her rest by the story of her traducer's
death. When she was first placed under
arrest she was cool and collected. The ex-
element of the tragedy and a burning
sense of the wrong that had been done her
sustained her bravely, but the reaction set
in yesterday and she has suffered from
severe nervous prostration. VIM.
w. O'Brien, the well-known
criminal lawyer, has been engaged to de-
fend her, and he had long consultation
with his client yesterday. Everything that
can be lone for her comfort during her
imprisonment has been done, and the I'M
fortunate girl has been made as comfort
able as possible under the circumstances
A large number of people lave been at the
station to see her, but orders have been
issued not to permit any but her counsel
and friends to see her, and she
herself expressly requested that all who
called from mere curiosity be refused.
This morning the news of Kingsley's death
will be conveyed to her if her nerves are
not too unstrung. She has never expressed
any regret at shooting him, and simply
says that all she had in this world was her
good name, and without that she might as
we'll be dead as alive. Her
carriage throughout the whole of the
trying ordeal has been womsnIy
n brave, and has made her many a
friend among the police authorities, with
whom she has been thrown in contact. The
fate of the unfortunate will be watched
with deep concern and interest by hun
dreds who will want to see what will be
done with a poor girl who dares to defend
her reputation, even if the defense should
rob the man, who so cruelty wronged her,
of his life.
THE CAUSE OF A SUICIDE.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10.--The dead
body of the Hon. Richard Wildly, ex-mem-
Der of the legislature, was found with his
throat cut, face upward, in the short stub
BILE, at the head of Sweet Briar valley, in
Paramount park, Thursday night. The
pocket knife, with which he had commit
ted suicide. was found near by. In his
| private desk,at his home,1421 Marlborough
street, when broken open yesterday, was
found two letters, which throw light
on the cause of the suicide. The first let
ter, addressed to ex-city Treasurer Will
liam Bumm, is as follows:
ut was not the way 1 treated you when
you were in trouble. May God be more
merctful to you than you were to me, and
when you are driving in the park give one
thought to signed Poor DICK"
The other letter read as follows:
My Dear Wife: I saw Mr.. Bumm
n he refused to assist me
even though I told him it
was a matter of life and death, May God
in his mercy help you. You are a good
wife to me, good bye. Your husband.
Signed, RICHARD Wildly.
The ex-city treasurer referred to. is said
10 have been elevated to the Office through
the personal influence and the money of
the unfortunate suicide. Wildly is said to
have lent him large sums of money, and
his own son says that upon one occasion,
before he lost his fortune, he
advanced the city treasurer $4,000. When
the turn came in the tide, Wildly went
under, while the beneficiary of his gen
crosby grew rich. 1t is said that Wildly
was roughly repulsed when he in turn
solicited money from him to whom he had
previously given so freely. Mr.. Bumm
bears a high reputation and the publ
cation of Wildy's letter causes a profound
surprise.
