other into the left breast of tho murdered
man. Either wound would have boon
fatal, and tho weapon WINS held so close rs
to set fro to tho clothes. Tho body of tho
murdered man was sent on to Saratoga
and buried in tho family plot ut Groon-
ridge cemetery.
1t is not often that tho trial Of a muir
derer follows SO rapidly on tho crime as
did that Of Frank Walworth. Ho was mr.
raigned in the court Of oyer and terminor
Juno "a, just three weeks after the find
ing of tho coronor's jury. Tho celebrated
lawyer, Charles O'Conor, was retained us
lending counsel for tho prisoner. In nd
ditlon to MIR. O'Conor, ox-Judgo Gnrvin
and W. A. Beech were retained for tho
defopso. Judge Ingraham presided and
Assistant District Attorney Rollins pro-
sentod the case for the prosecution.
Conspicuous among tho friends of the
prisoner was his uncle, Father Clarence
Walworth, tho brother of the murdered
man and Catholic priest.
Before tho case had beon fully on, Judge
Noah Davis, tho presiding Judge Of tho
court, took charge. AS the question of
religion was an important factor in tho
trial, Protestant and Catholic olergymen
from tho city and from tho country round
about made up IL largo part Of tho crowded
audience. 1t was remarked then that
there mover Ind boon moro brilliant mr.
ray of counsel brought together in defense
of On accused man, but judging from the
popular indignation, oven these. 1t was
thought. could not savo young Walworth
from tho fato no deserved.
During tho trial thoro was much soilcd
family linen washed in public, and tho
letters Of tho murdered mnn, which were
put in evidence proved very conclusivoly
that he was not only domestic tyrant
but that his mind was unbalanced. In
some Of these letters ho raved like an in
Sane man and threatened his vito and
children with death, but in tho samo COM
munication, rs il stung with romorso, ho
poured out ON them flood of maudlin
affection.
His lottors, not only to his wife and
children, but also to his sister-in-law and
brother, showed that his mind was I'M
hinged
Writing to his wife about separation,
which ho had been urging, no used this
language: 'Why am so oagorp Because
am hungry and starvation begins to
stare mo in tho face, and this, added to tho
agonies of my heart, will mako mo muir
der you myself. y * My book failed to
bring mo money. and my efforts to get n
situation have failed 1 am hungry
domon, and am longing to lap my tongue
in soft blood. You aro making your grave
by the delay. But we shall lilo so ponce
fully sido by side In death. Oh, sweet
DEATH" This lcttor, like tho rest, Is I'M
signed.
In another letter, importuning his vile
to sign tho papors OF separation, no says:
II went to Judge Barbour's to kill you.

THE ART OF BEDMAKINe.
IL Housemaids Complain Now. Let Them
81 Ponder on This Picture.


Tl5ro arc many women and maids who
think they know the art Of making bed,
rcstful, ease giving, good dream produc-
ing bed, but should thoy compare their
Efforts with tho performance conc through
with making bed in the sixteenth CEN
fury they will thank tho fates no such du-
ties aro included In the catalogue OF tho
housekoepers work.
A bed with its coverings was q fine and
usual thing to bcqucath in those days.
NO wonder. / should like to havo one
myself
This is tho chronicle of making Horny
Wis bed:
First, q yooman or groom of tho
stuffs of tho wardrobe must bring in the
stuffs, and tho curtains be drawn, and q
gentleman usher must hold the curtains
together, tho sido curtains and tho foot
curtains; then must two squiros of tho
body stand mt tho bod's head, ono on
either side, and two ycomon of tho crown
mt the beds foot, and all tho stuff bo laid
ut tho beds fcot on carpet before tho
yeomon of tho stuff; then ycoman of tho
crown or of tho chamber Co leap upon the
bed and roll him up and down and assay
tho litter; tho ycoman to lay down tho
canvas again; then lay on tho feather bed
and beat 1t well and mako it oven and
smooth then shall q yeoman Of tho stuff
take tho fustiah and take tho assay and
cast 1T upon the bed then shall squircs for
the body lay hand thereon and yeoman
and lay 1t straight upon the bed without
any wrinkles, and tho sheet in tho snmo
wise; then take both tho shoots and fustinn
by tho border and put them in under tho
feather bed ut both sidos and Mt tho feet
also; then lay on tho other sheet and tho
squires for the body to take tho sheet and
gather 1t round in your hands on either
side the bed and go to tho beds hond,
strike down tho bed till thoy como down
twice or thrice and shake the sheet at tho
bed'sVcot and lay it fair and broad on tho
bed; tlfan lay on tho othor stuff of fustian
above; then take pair or two Of martens
and lay above, but first take pair of
ermines and lay above and then lay ON tho
martens; then roll down tho bed the space
of all ell; then lot tho yooman take tho
pillows and beat them we'll with their
hands and cast them up to tho squiros for
the body and lot them lay them on tho bod
as 1t pleased the kings grace; then take a
head sheet of ermino and lay 1t above:
then take tho other side of tho head sheet
of regnes and lay it over that; then the
squiros for the body to lay the bed again
on top the pillows; then take sheet of
regnes and cover the bed over and over.
every side; then tho ushor knits tho cur
tains together and d squire for tho body to
cast holy water upon the bed"
1t is satisfying to know that aftor all
this work tho various men who performed
it are ordered to partake of broad, alo and
vino. And they are to have all they want

tho letter runs on, like the rawlings Of IN
excited mnpiao.
During tho trial tho defense sought to
show that tho accused parrioide had in
herlted from his father tho samo unbal.
anoed mental peouliarities and that these
had been Intensified by fall and oortaln
mental shocks. DIR. John b. Gray, an ex-
pert In diseases of the brain, gavo it rs
his opinion that Frank Walworth was sub
Jeot to epileptio fits, which manifested
themselves in such violent attacks ms he
had mndo on his father.
Not satisfied with putting In strong
plca of insanity, tho defense In addition
took tho stand, that tho shooting was
prompted by self dofenso. Tho prosecution
roadily disposed Of the second of those
pleas by showing that 1t depended wholly
on tho evidence OF tho accused.
On tho eighth day after tho trial bogan
tho case was givon to tho jury. At s
O'Clock that night tho jury returned a yer.
dict of murder in tho second degree in the
presence OF IN audience that crowded the
courtroom to suffocation.
Tho prisoner received tho blow without
change of oountennnoe and at q nod
from tho clerk sat down and listlcssly
loosoned his necktie.
On July 5 Frank Fl. Walworth was
brought before tho court for sentence.
After an affecting address to tho prisoner
judge Davis said in conclusions:
What terrible thoughts must have
rushed upon your father when no received
tho lcadon messenger Of death in his bosom
from tho hands of his eldest boy! 1 shud-
dor when 1 think of 1t, and think you
ought to devote your whole lifo to ro-
pontnnco such rs God only cnn accept for
so horrible crime Tho sentence of the
court Is that you DO imprisoned in the
state prison Mt Sing Sing Mt hard labor for
tho full torn of your natural lifo.''
Everybody looked amazed whom the
judge had concluded, but tho prisoner OK
hlbitod not trcmor of emotion.
On Wednesday, morning, July 8, Just five
weeks after tho murder of his father.
Frank II. Walworth was talzon to Sing
Sing prison. Fivoyenrs afterward he was
partoned mt tho solicitation of many
friends, and has since dropped out of sight.
