cred From the Scandal.
Frank Lawler, an actor, aged sixty years.
died yesterday morning at the Forrest Home. at
Holmesburg. near Philadelphia, of general de-
bility. Mr.. Lawler was an actor of more than
ordinary ability in his day. he having supported
such eminent artists as Edwin Forrest, E. L.
Davenport, Laura keene and Charlotte Cush-
man. His last engagement in Philadelphia was
at the Chestnut Street Theater, when it
was under the managI ment Of Col VIM. E.
Sim.
Many will recall the beautiful woman, his
wife, to whom he was devotedly attached, she
who afterward created the sensation of the day
in New York, where she was known as Josie
Mansfield, in the encounter between James
Fisk, jr., and Edward L. Stokes, at the Grand
Central Hotel, in which Fisk lost his life and
Stokes went to prison. Previous to this time
Mr.. Lawle- had the best engagements in his
profession.
The scandal cast gloom over him and he
was unable TO rise above it. His health
became broken and through the inter-
vention of friends he finally became an
inmate Of the Edwin Forrest Home, where he
died.
Mr.. Lawler was for two wears the leading
man at the National Theater in this city, dur
ing which he gained the reputation of a con-
scientious and capable actor. At that time
Mrs Lawler, who afterward gained such an I'M
enviable notoriety lived here with him and
appeared to be much attached to her staiwart
and handsome husband. Frank was very at
tentive to his beautiful wife and was much en-
Wed by his associates in the company OF &C.
count of his domestic happiness.
Years afterward, when Mr.. Lawler had been
crushed By the desertion of his wife and the
tragedy which she had caused. he played in this
city, but lie was mere wreck of his former self
He told the story Of his sorrow to a STAR repre-
sentative one night during that engagement
and he wept like a child as he spoke Of the
woman whom he had loved with all the
strength of his nature and whom he loved
then, notwithstanding her unworthiness.
