THE AMERICAN 6 COPPINQER'S RECORD. Cod tl nurd from Paif L took hi position. lie had been there about an hour when be observed the letter-carrier go up the steps of our residence and ring the bell. At the Mine moment my wife turned into Tay lor street from Sutter street, and ai soon as she taw the postman the broke into a run and took from htm a docu ment before the door was openod. This circumstance was reported to me the same evening, and it was the first thing that made me suspicious, for all her let ters from those with whom I knew she was in correspondence came in my care. I next saw the postman and learned from him that he was in the habit of delivering letters addressed to Miss Abell, care of Mr. Locke, "06 Taylor street. I then bribed him to deliver the letter in future to myself, and he promised to do so. The following morning, that of Sun day, March 20, 1870, I went early to the post office for my letters. As I was on the steps, the postman came out and, taking a letter from his pocket and handing it to me, said: 'Here, Mr. Cash, is the first I have received slnoe you spoke to me.' I took it, and a glance at the adddresa at once told me there was something wrong. It was post-marked Silver City, Idaho, and was addressed to Mies Abell, care of Mrs. Locke, 706 Taylor street, San Francisco. Handing $20 to the pit man, I proceeded at once to my office, as I did not dire to open it in the street I had him accompany me, as I was not sure what the effect of lis perusal might be upon me. With a trembling hand and a heart almost bursting I tore open the en velope and it did not require many minutes to discover that my wife had been the victim of a seducer; that for many, many months I had been grossly deceived and dishonored man- dishonored by her la whom I had placed the moet implicit reliance, and that, too, through the influence and se ductive powers of one against whom I had cautioned her, whose true cbarac- ter I bad informed her of more than once, and whom I ha 1 prohibited her -ever speaking to or associating with This was Captain John Coppinger, of the Twenty-third Infantry, whom I knew to be a roue, and a bold, unprln cipled adventurer. It Is not in my power to describe my feelings when got that letter. I at once went to my friend, Colonel W. H. L. Barnes, and gave him an out line of what had occurred. He assured me that the letter fully proved my wife's Infidelity, and that be was s confounded, so astonished at the rave' lation that he was not able to offer me any advice whatever.'' Mr. Cash then relates at considerable length the story of his announcement of the news to his wife. He says she raved and stormed, and finally avowed that she loved Copplnger and would not allow anything to be ea'.d against him. Sbe then began to entreat him to give her the fatal letter, and her en treaties were so earnest that finally Mr. Cash, afraid to trust himself, gave the letter to M. Dingen, the restaurant keeper. That night In bed Mrs. Cash confessed her guilt, and buret ' into tears. Mr. Cash thus describes what then happened: "It was then that I became in a measure evil, and, with a determl nation such as I never dreamed myself capable of, I resolved to take her life. I had made up my mind to suffocate her, and went into my room to get a pillow for that purpose; at the same time, I took from my pocket a Der ringer pistol. Returning to her room I laid the pistol on the window sill and then moved deliberately toward her bedside. She at once suep:cted what I was at, and jumping up, gave a frightful scream, and then endeavored to reach the door. Seeing that my purpose was partially foiled I seized he, by the throat; as I did so, she said, 'For God's sake, Tom, have mercy on me.' She was then on the floor, and, had not the Inmates of the house rushed in at that moment, she would have paid the pen alty of the crime with her life, and I would have become what?" Next, morning Mr. Cash met Mr. Barnes and Mr. Ralston by appoint ment and bad a conversation. He says: "After discussing the matter fully it was determined by Mr. Ralston -and Mr. Barnes that my wife must leave San Francisco, and that ai once, and the former went immediately to see her, directing us to remain until his return. He wai gone about two hours, and when he cama back he an nounced that all was arranged; that she would ltave on the following Wed nesday morning overland. 'But,' he said. 'Cash, if I had not read that let ter and learned the complete evidence of her guilt contained in it, I would not have believed one word against her, for she is the most plausible woman I ever met, and can tell a He with the best face I ever saw.' " A few days after she was put on board of the train and sent east. Mr. Ral ston went for her, took her to the sta tion, and saw her comfortably provided tor. FOLLOWING THE SERPENT'S TRAIL. After his wife's enforced departure for Philadelphia. Mr. Cash still main taine-d hi untiring vigilance. The postman was faithful to the trust con tided in him by the injured husband and brought him in all some ten letter. Several months before this Captain Copplnger bad been ordered to com' mand Camp Three Forks, near Wlnne- muoea station, and it was hi letter to Mrs. Cash that the postman brought Mr. Cash regularly. Mr. Cash in his pamphlet say that these letter fully developed the following facts: First. That their criminal Inti macy had lasted a long time. That even before I started for the east, i 1869, they were in the habit of meeting and visiting the private roams of res taurants together. "Second. That he invariably aocora panled her in her horse bask rides, and that while on these excursion they made a stopping place at the house of an old lady residing some little distance from the city, where some of their crlm Inal intercourses were carried on. "BABY." "Third That my being compelled to occupy a separate apartment was a plan of theirs to aid them in carrying out their purpose, which was to drive me away from her so that her going to join him at his camp as his mistress might be more easily effected. To use bis own words, 'If I know Cash's character he will not very long submit to such life; and when be leaves you, you can then coma to me, for my arms ache, Baby, to have you once more clasped within them.' "Fourth. That when on any occa sion I was waiting f jr her to join me to go to dinner, and when she failed to be on time It was occasioned by their oc cupying together, not only the house, tut my rooms ani bid. "Fifth. That when leaving Virginia City, in 18(i9, for the White Pine mln Ing regions, my wife remaining behind, he joined her there, and their criminal Intimacy continued while she remained at that placa. "He came on with her as far as Win nemucca, and then left for Camp Thre-3 Forks, which post ho had been then or dered to command. "Sixth. That she had received from him a rum of money ($500), to be used by her in the event of her criminality bein-j discovered, in order that she might not be without funds, and in or der to pay her exoenses in coming to him. A KNIGHT OP THE GARTER. "About a week after my wife's de parture, under the direction of my at torney, I wrote to my father-in-law, giving him a full account of the affair. A week after I wrote him another com munication, In which I inf armed him of further developments in the case, and to satisfy him of the truth of my as sertions, I sent him, with the last, one of the Intercepted lettars in which a.ie of my wife's darters was Inclosed. It ap peared from the contents of the docu ment that Coppinger had taken It with him and returned it, with the request that she would wear it a few days and then send it back to him again. "This letter I requested to be re turned, which was done la due course of mail. My father-in-law wrote me at the same time, and in his letter said that the painful fact was evident that my wife and myself could not live to gether again, and asked me if I would be satisfied with a separation. BRUISING THE SERPENT'S HEAD. "Wishing to attack the author of this trouble first in his official position, and have him dismissed from the army, I laid a statement of the case before Gen eral Joseph Holt, Judge Advocate Gen eral of the army, andasked blm If Cop pinger could be tried under the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, to which he replied in the affirmative. The case was then placed before Captain Piatt, of the Second Ar tillery, Judge Advocate of the Military Division of the Pacific. The letters were then proven to have been written by Copplnger, by Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Smedberg and other officers then on duty in San Francisco, and charges would have been at once preferred, only that the death of General G. H. Thomas at that time preventecLany action until the ar rival of his successor, Gen. SchoSeld. Pending the arrival of the lett.r, Cap tain Piatt wrote to General Crook, com manding the department of Oregon, in which Camp Three Forks is situated, and informed him of the case, and that charges were about to be preferred against Coppinger, and requesting that in case the latter should apply for leave of absence, to refuse it. This letter was duly replied to, and the request granted. This action on my part against Coppin ger through a military court martial, was in part brooght about by the sug gestion of Commodore John R. Golds- borough, United States Navy, then conmandlng the Mare Island Navy Yard, and Captain Paul Shirley, United States Navy, then commanding the re ceiving ship Independence, both of whom were strong personal friends of mine. So much Interest did the former take in the natter, when a statement of my wrongs was laid before him, that he went to San Francisco to see General Thomas on the subject, the very day on which the latter officer died. THE THREE LADY CONFIDANTES. "I soon discovered after my wife's de parture from San Francisco tnat she had been poisoning the mind of her friend against me. In order that she might the better get away from Cali fornia without causing suspicion a to the true cause. She had given out that by reascm of my ill treatment; she could no longer live wlih me; that she was auun going to leave, not for home, but to some quiet pi see, w here sbe could remain until a divorce could ba procured. This was generally believed, and after she had lift I was obliged, for my own sake, to make the true cause of her dearture known. To throe ladies, who were mutual friends Mrs. G.-o. W. Smiley, Mr. Eugene Dj Sable, and Mrs. Grove Adams I gave the letter to read, in order that they might satisfy themselves fully. They were astonished, but at once saw bow they, as well a myself, had been misled, and agreed with me that had it not been for my employment of the detective, she would 4ln a short time; have gone to join Coppinger as his mlstre at Camp Three Forks." From this forward Mr. Casn s pam phlet is taken up with an account of the efforts of his wife to effect a reconcilia tion. He says sbe sent him dispatch after dispatch begging him to come to her, as she was sick and In trouble. All these telegrams Mr. Cash laid before his friends, Mr. Ralston and Colonel Barnes, but they positively forbade his going near ber or noticing anything further she might say. This continued for some time, and finally Mr. Cash lowed himtelf to yield. He sold out his business, aud, with a heart lull of love and forgiveness, set out for Phil adelphia. Before tt&rtlng, Itilston said: "Cash, if you go back and 11 e with that wo man after the way she has treated you, never show your face in California again," and, on the strength of this the husband telegraphed: "My friends say that I would fatally compromise my position here by going to Philadelphia, consequently I cannot leave." But he did leave. He wentoff without letting anyb.Mly kno, and in a fevt.a),8stoodat the door of the woman who had dishon ored him, a suppliant for her favor. Once more did he tak j her In his arms, but not for long. Their subsequent lite Is best set forth In one more extract from Mr. Cash's pimphlet: "I committed a grave error when I sacrificed my position In California and listened to entreitics aid promises that were made only to be broken. 1 should have known my own character better, and what would be the inevitable re sult of disregarding the advice of those who were better able tj think for mo than 1 was for myself. I should have been able to see that an attempt on my part to live with a wife who had so dis honored me would only end In mlsury and unhappine-ss, and final separation. Had I not been blinded by the love I bore he r, notwithstanding all her wrong doing, I would have acted differently. DOUBTING THOMAS. "I have committed another error, and that Is, when I did forgive her, when I did come back as she requested and restored ber to the position she had forfeited, I should have let the past be buried; but my temper and her will fulness prevented its being done, and the consequence may be Imagined. She insisted upon the same respect, the same confidence and the belief in her word that I had before her crimt nlnallty was discovered, and these I was powerless to grant, at least until she proved worthy of them. I Insisted upon a course of conduct on her part that would aid mo in carrying out that which she desired; but this she refused to adopt, hence cjnstint ruptures oc curred which rendered our lives un happy. If I requested her to associate, or to dance, or to walk with this or that man, she would be sure to act In opposition to my wishes. If I told her that I did not wish her to go out boat ing of an evening with young men, she Insisted upon doing so, leaving me to make out alone as best 1 could. By such conduct as this she violated all the promises made to me on my return, and even if the old sore did show any signs of healing, these actions on her part at once opsned it afresh and left It worse almost than at first, for the reason that I saw plainly that her dis position to act contrary to my advice and counsel and to follow the same course would be sure to end as before. She male me suspicious when I did not want to be, and compelled me to show a want of confidence in every thing she said or did. I could not help It." THE FINAL WRECK. And so It went on, until, as Mr. Cash said, be could not bear it any longer. A final deed of separation was made out, both parties signing it, and from that time to the present Mr. and Mrs. Cash have been two. He is now super intendent of the business depirtmsnt o the New York Herald. She leads a quiet, sad and sorrowful life in Phila delphia. Let us draw the veil over their sorrows. San Francisco, March 2, 1872. Thomas M. Cash Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 21st ulto., enclosing a pamphlet entitled "A Plain Statement of Fasts lor the Perusal of Thos; Inter ested," containing forty-three pages You ask me to read it, and write you a letter certifying to the truth of your statement.

Colonel Copplnger Denies Mr. Cash' Stat ment, and Intimate that the "Chrenlclo" has Told an Untruth More About the Officer w ho Wrote Letters to Another Man's Wife. In the Alia of yesterday morning ap pears the following card: Am.f.l Island, San Praoclwo Har bor, July 22, 1872. F.ultor Alta: In the Chronicle of yesterday an article ap peared, which puriorted to give part of a history of my acquaintance with a lady, formerly a resident of San Fran cisco. I would state that a regards myself, the article referred to is an infamou falsthooil. I am sir, very reioct fully yours. J. J. Coi'iMNOER. Lieutenant-colonel United States Army. In the article which appeared In the Chronicle on Sunday last wa used this gentleman' name, and did so on the authority of the printed publication of Thomas M. Cash, the husrand of "the lady formerly a resident of San Fran cioco," with whom Colonel Copplnger acknowledges an acquaintance. We did not print the whole of Mr. Cash's story, but as Colonel Coppinger denies any connection with the lnnt.er and Insinuates that the Chronicle has been untruthful, we continue Mr. Cash's rarrative. Ia doing so, how ever, we disclaim any Intention to take up Mr. Caih's quarrel. That must be settled by Colonel Coppinger and him self as may best plca-ie them. After recounting his exploit in Inter cepting a letter to hla wife, Mr. Cash thus explains who was its author: The name of the author of the un speakable unhapplness ai d misery then and since endured is John J. Coppinger, a captain in the Twenty-third regi ment of ln'antry, United States army. A soldier and so-called honorable man. This fellow is an Irish adventurer, who, having served in the army of the pope, came to this country at the break ing out of the rebellion and succeeded In obtaining a commission In our ser vice. A soldier of fortune in every sense of the word; a roue by profession, and a scoundrel utterly without prin ciple. Here it is that I must state how, when and where she first male his ac quaintance. While In Panama, in 1805, the opportunity occurred for us to make an excursion to ban Francisco, xne Pacific Mail steamship Colorado, com manded by the late Commodore James Wat kins, was then in port. She wai to take up a battalion of tbe Fourteenth United States Infantry (out of this regi ment the Twenty-third has since been formed) to California. It was in the latter part of the month of August, 1863, that we sailed. In tbe natural course of events my wife was presented to the officers of the regiment, among whom was this Cop pinger. But I did not observe during the first part of the voyage that sbe re ceived more attention from him than otbers. I confess to having heard, when going the roundo of the ship and among the crowds on board, remarks about a flirtation that was being car-' ried on by one of the officers, but as such things were common on board of California steamers, I paid no attention to them, having too much else to think about, and never dreaming that my wife's conduct was the subject of their scandal. It was on the passage and after this occurrence that several of the officers of the regiment told me who and what Copplnger was. I then took advantage of the opportunity of Imparting to my wife the information furnished me, and told her that I desired that under on circumstances would she ever have any intercourse or associate with him, and until the letter was intercepted I did not believe but that she obeyed my in junction. Of every photograph she had taken durinz tbe time of their acquaintance a copy was sent to him. One in par ticular, which her friends will remem ber, taken at full length and in a riding costume, is mentioned several times in his letters. This was taken while in Philadelphia in 1869. She was at that time In correspondence with Coppinger, receiving his letters under a third party, a servant-girl employed in her father's house. She was also In the habit of employing her needle for his benefit in making such fancy articl- s as could be sent through tne mail. Several of thess she worked in my presence; and I had the satisfaction o having their receipt acknowledged through the letters that I secured" American Patriot. 11 at her Hard.
