OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
LAST OF GREAT GENERALS AT
GETTYSBURG TO LEAVE
THIS EARTH.
HAD SERVED IN CONGRESS TWICE
During First Term He Killed a Man
Who Betrayed His Wife-Was
Acquitted and Forgave Wife
One Time Rich, Died Poor.

New York.-General Daniel E. Sick
les died at his home here Sunday. His
wife was at his bedside at the end.
General Sickles was the last of the
great commanders who fought the
battle of Gettysburg. For decade he
was a fighter by PROFESSIONAL his
life he was a fighter by nature.
The gruff old warrior, with one leg
shot away in battle, his massive head
resembling Bismarck's, was a pictur-
esque figure as he hobbled along on
crutches during the last half century
of his turbulent life.
Always Fighter.
His indomitable fighting spirit re-
manned to the last. He was born in
New York citl in 1925. 1t was he
who secured for his city its great Cen
trail park.
Before he was 80 years old Major
Sickles had served as secretary of le-
cation at London under Minister Jas
Buchanan. He had won a state sena-
torship through a bitter campaign;
and he was seated in the 35th congress
at Washington
While in Congress Kills Man.
1t was at this time that an event
occurred which became the sensation
of the day. Sickles had begun his sec
ond term as congressman in 1859 when
the national capital was stirred by the
news that the young representative
from New York had shot and killed
Philip Barton Yey, the United States
district attorney for the District Of
Columbia. Sickles declared that Key
had misled Mrs. Sickles, who was
Theresa Sagioli, daughter of an Ital-
ian music teacher The trial lasted
20 days, ending in the acquittal Of
Sickles on the ground of "unwritten
law" He then took his erring wife
back
Wife Forgiven.
Il am not aware of any statue or
code of morals" said Sickles to his
critics, which makes it infamous to
forgive woman. l can now see in
the almost universal denunciation with
which she is followed to my threshold
the misery and peril from which have
rescued the mother of my daughter
shall strive to provide to all that an
erring wife and mother may be for
given and redeemed"
Mrs. Sickles died of broken heart
a few years later.

Returns to Congress.

Returning alone to New York, Gen
eral Sickles again entered politics. He
served as sheriff of New York and at
81 he was reelected to congress.
General Sickles' life drew to a close
with frequent romantic situations. He
faced bankruptcy proceedings in his
last years, though he had early in life
received a large share of his fathers
100000 estate, but his estranged
wife and son came to his aid on sew
eral occasions.
His last days were spant at % Fifth

relics and attended by his faithful
negro servant.
