On his trial one of the pleas of tho defense was insanity; rind reports from the prison indicate thai he.has been insane since his imprisonment, even if he was not at the time of the shooting. Ho was sent first to the prison tit Sing Sing, and was afterwards transfer red to Auburn, where be has been under medical treatment. akkival Ol' iii's MOTHER. Auhuhn, N. Y., August 1, 11:50 p. in.?Mrs. Walworlh arrived here this evening with her son's pardon, and the party, consisting:'df mntberj Frank and tho yotingcr, 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. the story OV the tragedy. Man field Tracy Wal worth, the novelist, and the son of late Chan cellor, was shot and killed at the Sturtevant house early on the morn ing of June o, 1373. The iuceutivo to the crime was the desire on the part of the son to avenge wr..ngsdonc Ids mother. Mr. and Mrs. Wal worth ?who was Miss Ilardiu,of Kentucky ?were hing residents of Now York, but i heir domestic life was marrod by continual differences from shortly after their mat riagc until 1870, when a separation was decided upon, Mrs. Walworlh went lo Saratoga with her eliihl ron, having her husband in Now 'i'ork. A year later she succeeded in obtaining a full divorce, with some thing of an income. Her husband aller this divorce wrote to her letters of i lie mo t cruel descript ion, up braiding her in (he coarsest terms and threatening her in various ways. Young Frank Wal worth was brought up in the Atmosphere of domestic trouble, and, as was natural, warmly espoused his mother's cause, and more than once as he. grew to man's | estate confronted his father and ordered him to discontinue these in sults. On Monday, the 2d of June, young Wn I worth left. Saratoga, say ing he was going lo New York to ar range some family mutters. Me reached tho c'uy in the afternoon, engaged n room at the Sturtevant house, sending1 the following note a few minutes after arrival to his father, who was boarding at a house on Fourth avenue, near Fifty-fourth street. ? o'clock.?I want to try and set tic some family matters. Call at the Sturtevant house after an hour or so. 11 I am not there I will leave word at the oflice. F. II* WalWouth. The Idler whs soul b) a messenger, who reported that Mr. Walworlh wn< not at h >tue. Frank then went to his roohi and locked himself in. At 0:80 in the morn ng Mr. Walworth, sr., called,al the office of .the Sturfe> ant house, and when the boll boy took up his card he found Frank fully dress ed. He said to the boy :. "Show him lip; all right." The bellboy piloted .Mr. Walworth upstairs; and on opening the door saw young Wal worth silling in a chair by the win-, (low. Mr. Walworth entered, the door was closed, and what Iiupponed after we id is i.nly known from the admission made' by Frank after his arrest1. The room Was a 1 dug and narrow one, and had but one chair. Frank bays that he oflcrod his father the chair, and as he passed him to lake it he walked to the door as if to sit on the bed, and then p'acing his back against; the door, drew a live barreled Colt's revolver and leveled it at his father, calling upon him : t the same time to promise never to molest or threaten him or his mother again. Frank said his father made the pledge, and that ho (Frank) lowered hi9 pistol, and leaning against tho bed, hegnn to talk of old troubles,, They became excited, and ere long words /passed between thorn that could not he recalled. Mr. Wal worth arose from his ,chair, and? Iii? soil] stood On Ids guard. Air. W^tlworth,. so Frank says, put his hand toward his pistol-pocket, and then Frank aimed and fired. Mr. Wal worth'.stag gered toward his son, and Frank fired twice again at him. Air. Wal worth at last grasped his son desperately, and the sou fired a fourth shot, which pcii-d rated his father's right temple, so that ho fell dead upon tho floor: Frank grasped his coat and hat, walked Ouc into tho corridor, ami passing H number of hotel attendants who had been aroused by the shoot ing, but who failed'to stop him, walk ed out of the front door of tho hotel and Went to the Gilsey house, from which he sent a telegraphic message. He then went out again 01 Broad way, and meeting a policeman from whom he learned where the Twenty fifth precinct station house was, went in front of the desk at the station an d informed Sergent Muller that he had ' j ust shot his father and had come to j give himself up, handing his revolver at the same time to tha Sergeant. The Sergeant thought he was drunk or crazy, and asked him what'was the hi at tei*. and Frank replied, "Fami ly troubles." He answered the usual' questions, and his story was confirm-* cd by the arrival ofa clerk in hot haste from the Sturtcvant house. An inquest was held over the. body of Air. Walworth on the Friday follow ing, which continued for t>vo d tys, and resulted in a verdictoi'*diatli by it pistol-shot at the hands of Krank H. Walworth " Frank was at once committed to the. Tombs. Word had been sent on tho morn j ing of the murder to his friends, and his mother arrived in the city by the afternoon train an?! at once win t t o see him. Through her 'effoi'lg, assisted by Judge Harbour* the host, of counsel were engaged-, Charlys O'Conor, a long and intimate fVieti I of the fami ly, being especially engaged to defend the prisoner. Mr. O'Conor had given up entirely all connection with crimi nal cases, but broke his ride here and enlisted heart and soul in the defense. The grand jury did not moot for nearly three weeks, but the case was presented at the earliest moments of their session, and an indictment of murder in the first degree was prompt? ly found. Frank in the meantime remained in the Tombs, where he was constantly visited by his mother and numerous friends. His demeanor during this lime was remarkably quiet ami unconcerned, except during) the daily visits of his mother, When at limes he entirely gave way. On Tuesday, June 24, three weeks after the m Order, an extra panel of jurors numbering .'IdO. was summon ed, and an excited crowd assembled in the room of the Oycr and Termin?r Court, to witness the drawing of tho jurors. The State authorities were represented by District Attorney 1 I'helps and his assistant, Mr Jlollins, iigninst whom were arrayed, on the part of the defense, hh imp l-ung list of connse] 1 consisting of Charles O-Goiior, ox-District Attorney Gnl vin, Win. A. P.each, Nelson Chase (df Ho wo 11 Jumel fame") and Gen.1' Henry R Davics. Of the 300 jurors only 138 appeared, oi nbich twenty were excused by the presiding judge, Noah Davis,, the delinquents being fined $250. The impaneling of the jury went over to tho fid low tug day, when the full, true and lawful twelve were obtained. The trial was begun a day later, (Wednesday, June 25,) and at the close of the sitting the prosecution had finished their case, and Mr. Ibach hail made the open ing a hl res s for tho defense. Mr. 1 ?euch's line of argunioiil was the domestic troubles of the family, the reckless character of the father, his ill-treatment of the mother, and in sults to mot her and son. The defense lasted for six days, the one plea of cruelty and wrong-dealing to the mother, and its ellecls ou the sou brought up solely under her care, be ing urged in every possible form. Tho dourt-room was filled each day to overflowing. On the .afternoon of July 1, Mr. O'Conor began his summing up. finishing his masterly argument late in the. evening. The day following Mr. Phelps summed up for the prose cution, Judge Davis delivered his charge?to which Mr. O'Conor took several exceptions ? ami at 5:25 the jury retired. Three hours later they announced they ' ad agreed upon a verdict The utmost si'once prevail ed as the foreman announced that Frank H. Walworth was guilty of 'murder in the second degree. At Mr. O'Conor's request tho sentence was deferred until ihn Saturday follow ing, when Judge Davis pronounced il?imprisonment at hard labor fur life. Walworth took his sentence quietly, and the following week was taken to Sing Sing by Deputy Sheriff Shields.
