A state of the Stomach in which

A state of the bowels in which

this evening with her sou's pardon,

Frank and the younger,brother, left,
on the 11:45 train for Saratoga, Not
withstanding the lateness of the hour
a crowd gathered at the depot to see
them off.
tue story OV the tragedy.
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. Hoi lilts,
iigninst whom were arrayed, on the
part of the defense, ah imposihg'lUt
of counsel* consisting of Charles
O'Conor, ox-District Attorney.Gal
vin, Win. A. Beach * Nelson Chase
(id" Bnwi-n Jumel fame) and Gen.'
Henry B. Da vies. 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

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,

(*oi:xi:i:kd Him at Last.?A
Georgia farmer in a recent, cmrorsa
tidii with on a of oar grain buyois,
incidentally remarked that dealers in
his section would not buy any of our
corn this year.
'Well, we have raised it lor you,'
replied the Fnyettcville merchant,
'and you a-e bound to take it;'
'I^o, we are independent now?

'Well, we'll feed it to the 11033 hud

'We arc safe there too,' continued
the old miller, 'our people will furn

Nut hing daunted, our Fayelteville

buying that.'

that Hob didn't seem ever to sit down
and think of the grave and death, and
probably he never did.
No, Hub wo?h't of that make. Ho
wanted to have fun. Both bis ears
were nearly worn up by being cuffed
