arrived at Leavenworth Thursday evening
from Cincinnati. The prodigal sons recep-
ton on his return to the parental roof was
a quiet affair when compared with the re-

the hand of Willett and bid him welcome
that it looked more like he was hero than
an absconding cashier. He was so pros

before he could be quieted by his attend

says he is suffering from nervous prostra-

to visit him. 1t is thought with little rest
he will soon be out again. He states that
he has been travelling from one point to an
other, never remaining over four days at
any one place. He was at Augusta when
he fully made up his mind to re-
turn as far as Cincinnati and as
certain the true condition of affairs.
He wrote a friend in northern Indiana,
who mailed the letter to Mrs. Wiilett.
In this he requested his wife and his cousin,
Attorney Frank Hatfield, of Bonneville, to
meet him in Cincinnati. After being as
sured that there was no danger as to his
personal safety and that the assignee would
be able to pay dollar for dollar he was

was about to enter the stage door of the
Adelphi Theater in order to take part in the
presentation of Secret Service" was ar
raigned at Bow-street Police Court to-day
charged with the crime, and was remanded
until Wednesday next. A surveyor named
Graves, who accompanied Mr.. Terrss to the
theater, told the story of the stabbing, sub
stantially as cabled last night. Policeman
Bragg testified that the prisoner had said
that he had stabbed Mr.. Terriss for re-
venge, as the actor had debarred him from
employment for ten years past and had
forced him either to die in the Street or be
revenged upon him. The prisoner also ac-
cused Mr. Terriss of blaclxlisting him in con-
nection with the theatrical fund.
1t was apparent that Prince felt he was
playing part that would command the eyes
and ears of the audience. He leaned on the
rail in a tragic attitude and twisted his dark
mustache diaboically at illusions which
caused the audience to shudder Several let
tiers We're found on the prisoner from mem
bers of the royal family in reply to the
prisoners congratulations at various times.
Then there was letter from Manager
Latham. of the Adelphi Theater, dated Dec.
IL. 1897, regretting that he could not offer
part in Secret Service to the prisoner.
This letter is expected to provide the police

include also several from Mr.. Gladstone the
