to see an enormous black snake

at the bottom Of the bulky nest.

MYSTERY CLEARED
Murderess Was Rich Man s

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, May 16.-After a lapse of
more than half a century the mystery
surrounding the identity Of the ssveiled
murderess" Of Troy, N. Y, was cleared
today.
s'She was Charlotte Ward, daughter
of wealthy Canadian merchant, wife
man Of rank; she was graduate Of the
famous Emma Willard school at Troy,
N. W said Mrs. Charlotte P. Norris
of this city today, when the news of the
woman's death was made knewn-to her.
Mrs. Norris was a classmate and an
intimate friend of the dead woman.
She visited her once at Sing Sing over
thirty years ago, and the bond of secre-
CIV that was entered into at that time
was held sacred until death broke the
seal which hitherto had been inviolate.
Mrs. Norris says:
Forced to Wed Briton.
Born to luxury. and reared with all
the advantages which luxury gives, her
life was as bitter as it is possible to con-
ceive. Beautiful and accomplished, with
a command of several languages, she
was forced to marry Elliott because her
father demanded it. She ran away from
England two years after her marriage,
but her father spurned her, and she
turned from his threshold broken hearted.
At first she sought to get employment
as a teacher at Miss Wizards school,
| but before she had filed her application
she met New York politician, with
whom she fell in love. She lived with
him until he deserted her, and from then
on she sank lower and lower, until she
killed two persons with poison-why, no
one has ever been able to tell.
! AS Henrietta Robinson she was tried,
convicted and sentenced to imprisonment
for life That was in 1853, and for thirty
years she remained within the somber
walls of the state prison, until her reason
left her and she was sent to the insane
asylum at MatteaWan N. Y, her reason
hopelessly gone. -

Quaintances and at the trial, tho she
confessed to the murders, there was nc
evidence to show her motive and none
has ever been learned.
She lived in Troy for some time prior
to the murders, but was known simply
as Mrs. Robinson. She seldom went out
and when she did she was heavily
yelled. At the trial she wore a vel

Of course, the principle of the redingote is
a one-piece effect, however models may
vary it.
Stiff and Odd.
Those which have sharp and defined seam
ing from collar to hem have sometimes a
piquantly old-fashioned air, for the world
is not yet accustomed to bodice Jennings
which fiount themselves openly as such. A
very stiff and odd little redingote which,
forms part of cloth gown in dead-leaf
brown is cut with the beetle back admired

trimmed cloth turn back from vest of

brown. which, in turn, opens to display a
plated cravat of worked white mousseline.
A redingote of old red cloth. which falls
over plain skirt of same fabric. is in the
extreme length, which may be said to pre-
vail. Scarcely more than eight inches of
the skirt shows below the perfectly even
fall OF this. and the garment is cut to al
low front pleating. which is held down
by red frogs and loops. This forms very
smart trimming. and redingote gowns Of
this richly colored description are consid-

NEW YORK, January ), 1905.
The costume redingote'' continues to
grow in favor. From the models now being
turned out it would look as If the long-coat
gown is to have a special spring vogue.
Handsome tailored effects In spring weight
cloths are seen, the redingote taking vari-
Gus lengths, and numberless odd forms.
BY comparison with the fussy toilets of
the winter, upon which every ornament
known to fashion seems to have been Law
ished, these palmer gowns come pleas
ant variation. Warm interlinings of several
sorts give them the proper warmth for cold
days, and fur hats, collars and muffs add
the required winter touch. When these fea-
lures are left off the first days of spring
are provided for.
Opinion is divided as to the becomingness
of the redingote, and it is not to be denied
that for many figures they need to be most
carefully treated at the waist. At this
point when the form is bad, an unbroken
waist line is unadvisable, and 1t is a liberal
education to see how the vestalS of fashion
surmount the difficulty The half-tight or
wholly tight coat is treated with girdle
effects in the cut, this permitting the bodice
portion to be becomingly gathered. From
the hips the skirts of such redingotes will
hang full, and the bottom line of the gar
ment comes to within a few inches of that
of the skirt.
A model which shows the unbroken tailor
seams at the back has the skirt shirred on
at the side hips and the front cut in one
like the back Effort is always made to
preserve some of this cut-in-one look for,
