CHARLEY ELLIOTT'S FOLKS. ANTECEDENTs
OLE IIIE Z MI N-ruE NNI-NG MAN MEEr.


Herald. About II Years ago two sisters. Hattie
and Bessie Elliott, resided at Nos. and
Pacific corporation, and were employed as
weaYers in the upper mills under the supern-
tendence of Mr.. Francis Sargent. They were
quiet unassuming young ladies, who showed
IN their manners every evidence of good breed
ing and the responsibility of their connections.
A young lady named Sarah Whitney resided
with them. William Elliott a brother of Hattie
and Bessie. was then engaged in the grocery
business at Belfast. and Miss Whitney. who
often visited Knox with the Elliott girls soon
fell in love with him. He was wdower. and,
after brief courtship, they were married. and
Miss Whitney thus became the stepmother of
young Charley. now lying in Charles street Jail.
The stepmother and the boy. who was then Is
years old became very fast friends. an attach
ment out Of the usual order springing up be-
tween them. In course of time, Miss Bessie
married gentleman named Ingham of Lowell,
where she still resides. Miss Hattie also mar
red, and is now residing with her husband at
the Old family homestead, also occupied by
CharieVs father and etep-mother, at Knox. Me.
Charley and his father went to Colorado four
years ago, and launched into successful bust
ness, but the care of a property willed the
family by Charley's grandfather necessitated
their return in a short time. The grandfather
divided his property equally among his four
daughters. his son and two nephews. Charles
and George. \ maiden sister of Charley's
grandfather died soon after at Newmarket. n.
H.. anu Nv UtT VIII edtD OF the 1alllliN came
into possession of about $1,000. As the property
of the grandfather has not vet been divided it
is thought that. if young Charley squandered
any money. il must have been that left to him
by his aunt who died at Newmarket. Charley's
trip TO Colorado seemed to develop in him
propensity for rowing, and on his return East
he wandered away from his people. and seldom
visited home, although Just before the late
murder he spoke of gong home to see his
father. and what the Old home looked like
StA1 ,nfh lfAft Mr.,
and Il younger sister lives in a boarding house
on Essex street. Lawrence Charley, after his
arrangement in court and commitment to Jail
yesterday, seemed to feel very badly. When
visited by his faher-a most e>tlmabe appear
ing old gentleman-and Stepmother. he broke
down and wept. but claimed thai he had no ill.,
tentiOn of numbering his wife. The parents
felt badly. on reaching the Jail. the prisoner
"braced up considerably. and during the
afternoon appeared quite cheerful. His father
proposes to leave nothing uudone to aid his son
in his misfortune, and Will provide him with As
good counsel As money can afford. As matters
now LOOK, ii is very probable that the Young
man Will not be tried until the February term
OF the supreme Judicial court.
