Mail.-field Tracy Wal worth, the novelist, and the son of late Chan cellor, was shot and killed at the Si ur levant house early on the morn ing of June 3, 1873. The ineeutivo to the crime was the desire on the part of the son to avenge wrings done his mother, Mr. and Mrs. Walworth ?who was Miss llardin, of Kentucky ?iworc long residents of Now York, hut their domestic life was marred by continual differences from shortly alter their mat riagcuntil 1870, when a separate: n was doubled upon, Mrs. Walworlh went to Saratoga with her j eliild ren, leaving her husband in New | York. A year laler she succeeded in obtaining a full divorce, with some thing of an income. Her husband after this divorce wrote to bor letters of I lie ino.it cruel description, up braiding he'rin the coarsest terms aud threatening nor in various ways. Young Frank Wal worth was brought tip in the atmosphere of domestic trouble, and, as was natura1, warmly espoused his mother's cause, and more than once as lie grew to man's estate con fro tiled his father and ordered him to discontinue these in su Ms. On Monday, the 2d of June, young Walworlh left Saratoga, say nig be was going to New York to ar range some family matters. He reached the city in the afternoon, engaged n room at the Sturtevant house, .sending' the following note a few minutes after arrival to his lather, who was boarding ai a house on Fourth avenue, near Fifty-fourth street. 3 o'clock.?I want to try and set tie some family matters. (Jail at the Sturtevant house after an hour orso. Ii I am not there I will leave word at the oflice. F. IL Waj.Wou.th. The letter was seid bj a messenger, who reported that Mr. Wallvorth wm not lit h line. Frank then went to his room and locked himself in. At 6:30 in the morn ng Mr. Walworlh, sr., calltd.at the office of .the Sturtcyant; ho?sc, and when the boll boy took up ' his card be found Frank fully dress ed, lie said to the boy :. "Show him lip; all right." The bell boy piloted Mr. Wal worth upstairs; and on opening the door saw young Wal worth silting in a chair by the win . dow. Mr. Walworlh entered, (In: door was closed, nud what happened aftetwcid is only known froth the admisSioii matte by Prank after his arrest. The ' room Was a I tiiig tind narrow one, and had but one chair. Frank Miys that he offered his father the chair, and as he passed him to take it he walked to the door as if to sit on the bed, and then p'acing his back against the door, drew a five barreled Colt's revolver and leveled it at Iiis father, calling upon him ?. t tho same time to promise never to molest or threaten him or bis mother again. Frank said his father made the pledge, and that ho (Frank) lowered his pistol, and leaning itgainst tho bod, began to talk of old troubles. They became excited, and ere long words passed between them that could not be recalled. Mr. Wal worth arose from Iiis chair, and hi* son; stood on Ids guard. Air. \V[alworth,. so Frank says, put bis band toward Iiis pistol-pocket, and then Frank aimed und fired. Mr. \Valworth stag gered toward his son, and Frank fired twice again at him. Air. Wal worth at last grasped Iiis son desperately, and the soil tired a fourth shot, which pciijtruled his father's right temple, so that bo fed dead upon tho floor.' Frank grasped Iiis coat aud bat, walked Otic iitto tho corridor, and pussingii number of bo:el attendants who bad been aroused by the shoot ing, but who failed'tostop him, walk ed out of the front door of the hotel and Went to the Gilscy house, from which be sent a telegraphic message. He then went out again o 1 Broad way, and niceting a policeman from whom he learned where the Twenty - fifth precinct Btationdiou.se was, went in front of the desk at the station an d informed Sergent Muller that lie bad just shot his father and bad come to give himself up, handing his revolver at the same time to tha tfergeapt. The. Sergeant thought he was drunk or crazy, aud asked him what'was the matter, and Frank replied, "Fami ly troubles." He answered the usual questions, and bis story was confirm ed by the arrival of a clerk in hot hasto from the Sturtevant house; An inquest was held over the body of Air. Wal worth on the Friday follow ing, which continued for two diys, and resulted in a verdict, of "d^ath by a pistol-shot at t he hands of Krank H. Wtilwortli " Frank was at once committed to the Tombs. Word bad been sent oil the morn ing of the murder to his friends, und his mother arrived in the city by the afternoon train ami at once WJiit to sec him. Through her elf ?rts, assisted by Judge Bat-bonr* the best of counsel were engaged-, (Jhaihs O'Conor, a lung and intimate fVi.eil 1 of the fami ly, being especially engaged to defend the prisoner. Air. O'Conor had gis-en up entirely all connection with crimi nal cases, but broke his rule here and enlisted heart and soul in the defense. The grand jury did not meet for nearly throe weeks, but the case was presented at the earliest moments of their session, anil an indictment of murder in the first degree was prompt? ly found. Krank in the meantime remained in the Tombs, where he ' was constantly visited by his mother and numerous friends. His demeanor during this time was remarkably quiet and unconcerned, except during^ the daily visits of his mother, when at times he entirely gave way. On Tuesday, June 24, three weeks after the m urder, an extra panel of jurors, numbering '1O0, was summon ed, und an excited crowd assembled in I he room of the Oyer and Termin >r Court to witness the drawing of the jurors. The State a?th'?'r'ilie'* were represented by District Attorney l'hdps anil hi.s assistant, Air.

Of the 300 jurors only 1:18 appeared, of which twenty were excused by the presiding judge, N?ah Davis,, the delinquents being lined $200. Tho impaneling of the jury went over to the following day, when the full, true and lawful twelve were obtained. Tho trial was begun a tiny later, (Wednesday, June 2<3J und at the close of the sitting the prosecution had finished their case, and Air. Bench had made the open ing a Id res 4 for tho defense. Air. Beach's line of argument was the domestic troubles of the family, the reckless character ofthe father, his ill-trcatmcnt of the mother, and in sults to mot her and sou. The defense lasted for six days, the one plea of cruelly and wrong-dealing to the mother, ami its cll'ects on the son brought up solely under her care, be ing urged in every possibtj form. Tho dourt-room was filled each day to overflowing. On the .afternoon of July 1, Mr. O'Conor began his summing lip. finishing his masterly argument late in the. evening. Tho day following Mr. Phclps summed up for the prose cution, Judge Davis delivered bis charge?to which Mr. O'Conor took several exceptions ?and at ?:'2? the jury retired. Three hours later they announced lb'*y had agreed upon a verdict The utmost si'oncc prevail j ed as the foreman announced that. Frank II. Walworlh was giiijty of murder in the second degree. At Mr. O'Conor's request the sentence was deferred until the Saturday follow, ing, when Judge Davis pronounced itj?imprisonment at bard labor for life.
