Journal from Chicago says:
A letter will largely figure in the trial
Of the charming Mrs. Sue l. Ustick and
of Arthur WalIie Patterson, member of

will doubtless throng Justice Everett's
court will be much interested in this let
ter. for it is partly written in cipher, to
which there is an easy key. Just as there
was the color of orientalism in the apart
ments on Wabash avenue where Mrs.'
Ustick and Mr.. Patterson were arrested
last Monday night, so there is a tinge Of
mysticism in this letter:
MY Lovely Glory Sweetheart Wife:
I have the horrors today in chunks, sizes
to suit all tastes l have been out TO my
new home and seen how the place looks
It's all right as far as I've gone. OF
course it's not complete, but 1 simply
cannot live such life.
II want you-and those three words tell
say no more. &c" told me today that the
tea party would take place rather late, so
know nothing of what was done. except
that the suit was not reopened. They do
not seem to want that 1 cannot see or
even guess what in the name Of common
sense they do want.
Il guess I'm out of the game now, and
that T bbon,' 'Rigor' and Resolve are
in some way mixed up. 'Rigor' may want
something. Cannot guess what But he
is not here for his health. 1 am totally
in the dark. I know that Resolve and
Mother, 'Rigor' and Ribbon saw wv
today. They do not like Glory's letter
to 'Repute,' but it did not cheer them up.
That is all learned today. Monday I'll
know more. But this I do know: I can
not live as 1 do and be happy or even
comfortable and 1 won't do it. I want
you. must have you. If I can get you
with a symptom of responsibility, I'll do
it, but must have you
Come to me just as soon as you can.
I have thrown off all efforts ct conceal
ment now, and do not care who knows we
correspond. They tell awful tales of you
here.
mo man knows much about his fellow
beings. but I'll tell you right where we
stand. my grille. You know I'm no saint
I've missed Sunday school several times,
but I've been right since we made our
little agreement.
'Your association with me has given
'Rigor' chance TO say whole lot of
things much better left unsaid. That is
my fault.
Il still want you, for I believe that
when we two get together we will be al
in all to each other. How I wish ii were
to be tonight that we were to start life
together. I love you and want you, my
sweetheart.
i've just been to Sinister to finish this
and stay for the night May the morn
