HUSBAND AND WIFE MEET.
No sooner had the arrest Of E. T.
| Cooper, Amos Cole, c. Ii. Butler and
| Thomas S. Clark become public than
the news was dispatched to Dover. Mrs.
BOggs was one of the first to hear il,
and the shock caused her to faint. She
soon recovered and left Dover on the
first train, arriving in New Castle
shortly before o'clock. She went
straight TO the jail, where she was met
by Sheriff Finn, who escorted her to
her husband. It was their first meet
ing in nine months, and 1t was
an affectiOnate one. The sObs of
Mrs. Boggs and the pieadings
Of her husband could be heard
distinctly by these in the adjoining
| rooms.
Mr.. and Mrs. Boggs were later join
ed by Walter N. Boggs. The three
then ate supper at the sheriffs table
The evening was spent by the three in
an apparently pleasant way, and the
case was talked OF but little.
IL is said that Boggs did not occupy
a cell in the Jail either on Saturday OF
Sunday nights. He was taken there
to-day, however.
CREDIT is TO A RELATIVE.
Boggs, in an interview, said that the
entire credit of his coming back for
trial was due to his relatives, who
never ceased insisting that he return
to face the world. He also denies an
knowledge Of a letter that was print
ed in a Wilmington newspaper last
, Monday, and which purported to have
, been written by him. Boggs declared
i that he never saw the newspaper ir
question until il was shown to him by
q his brother at the latters home II
. | Philadelphia. His WIFE his brother ant
! | Francis Skunk Brown were the ones
. he said, that caused him to return.
