Whilo on o trip through Moore county,
Tonn., recently I WAS tho guest of tho
Rev. Frank NJ. Downing, who lives In tho
neighborhood Of n small settlement called
County Limo. His family consists Of him
self and vito and small yellow dog,
which, I noticed, received an unusual
amount of caro- and attention. AS there
was nothing particularly attractive about
tho dog, which was only q mongrel our,
rather wondered Mt their manifest affec.
ton, and one day inquired tho reason for
it. Mr.. Downing. for answer, called
Bench, and, placing him in chair, COM
manded him to Grow"
My establishment was unbounded when
tho dog gave n perfect imitation of o
Shanghai rooster, and, without further
command, followed 1t with the neigh of q
horse tho lowing of COWS, the grunts and
squeaks Of pigs, tho whining of cats and
various noises incident to farm life. He
could give all tho yclps of pack of hounds
in pursuit of fox, and in so realistic a
manner that you could scarcely help DO.
Loving that hunt was in progress. Mr..
Downing said that nobody had taught the
animal, and that his initiative powers
wero discovered by accident.

nails. To fully understand its effect upon
tho public 1t will DO in ordor here briefly
to outline tho career Of the murdered man.
involved in which Is tho career of his son.
Mansfield Tracy Walworth WAS born
Dec. g. 1880. Ho was tho son of Roubon
/. Walworth, who for 90 years had boon
chiof judge Of tho court of chancery in tho
state of Now York. The family seat was
Mt Saratoga Springs, but tho name was
known and honored, not only in New
York state, but throughout tho Union.
Mansfield Il. Wnlwortb was tho chancol-
lor's second son and was educated ut I'm
ion college.
About tho timo tho young man gradu-
atod his father who had been n widower
married tho widow Of Colonel John Har-
din Of kentucky. Mrs. Hardin had u
daughter who was young and extremely
beautiful, and after hor mothers second
marriage sho took up her homo with tho
chancellor in Saratoga. Young Walworth
made his homo in tho Same house, and
being cultured, 1no looking young fell
low ho fell In lovo with his stepsister and
she with him. Their marriage soon fol-
lowed. NJ Il. Wnlworth following his
fathers wishes, studied law, but always
showed an aversion to tho profession and a
marked preference for literature.
During tho war Mansfield T. Walworth
wns charged with conveying Information
to the Confedoratos and was for n timo
held as prisoner in tho old Capitol prison
mt Washington, from which he was re-
lensed with trial.
Mrs. Walworth joined tho Catholic
church soon after her marriage, and it was
said this was tho CAUSE of tho domestic
difficulties that sprang up md led to tho
separation of the husband and wife. Be-
fore their separation they had eight chill
dren-four boys and four girls-the eldest
of whom, Frank H. Walworth, tho par
ricido, was born Aug. II, 1863
Mansfield II. Walworth moved to New
York city, where his handsome person and
line literary abilities, rs we'll rs his family
connections, gnvo him access to tho first
social circles. Among tho books he wrote
mt this time wero WARWICK "Hilt to
Hit" and "The Lost Nationalities of
America" which added to his income
rather than to his famo.
No matter tho cause of tho breach be-
tween Walworth and his wife, it broadened
and grew deeper and finally ended in
charges and countercharges on both sides.
Frank H. Walworth, who ut tho timo of
tho murder was 10 years Of ago, bore q
striking resemblance to his father. He
appears to have been q nervous i'll bal
