Baltimore's cause celebre was the
trial of Mrs. Wharton, the widow OF
an army officer, who. in 1871, was &C
cused of the murder of Gen. W. 3.
ketchum. of the United States army.
Mrs Wharton was a woman nearly fifty
years of age. an intimate friend of the
general. and heavily in his debt. She
was preparing for a trip to Europe, and
on June %, 1871, the general came from
Washington to bid her good-by and in
cidentally to collect the money due him.
He was taken i'll after leaving the
house and died June os. His waistcoat,
containing the widows note for the
money due, was missing.
Mr. Van Ness, a man fully cognizant
of the widows financial affairs, was
also taken i'll at the same time and mar
rowly escaped death 1t was proven that
the general had died by poisoning. Mrs
Wharton was acquitted of the charge of
poisoning Gen ketchum, and the
charge of attempting to kill Mr.. Van
Ness was never pushed. The trial was
