AN HISTORIC HOMICIDE MYSTERY.
There is considerable doubt in the
minds of literary as to the exact
manner of the death OF Appius
Claudius, the tyrannous decemvir who
ruled in Rome 450 B. c. Livy, the
historian, asserts he committed suicide and
yet another authority, Dionysius, affirms
that he was assassinated by the tribunes.
In the historical play of "Virginius, by
Louis James, Appius Claudius meets his
death at the hands of Virginius, who has
been driven to insanity by the cruel ana
despicable ruling of Appius to the parent
age of Virginia, Virginius' daughter. In
referring to the death of Appius as de-
picted In the play, James Sheridan Knowles.
the author Of the tragedy, writes: His
tory gives two accounts of the manner OF
Appius DEATH one that he committed sui
eide, the other that he was destroyed pri-
vately by the tribunes. Had selected Tor
my catastrophe the latter incident, the
character of the tyrant had stood too prom
inent; by adopting the former l should
have violated the respect due to Chris
tan audience. After having excited such
an interest for Virginius, 1t would have
been indecent to represent him in the atti-
tude of taking the law into his own hands
1, therefore adopted the idea of his de-
atroying Appius in a fit of temporary in
sanity. which gives the catastrophe the air
of visitation of Providence.
