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.

TOM CASH'S H IKE.
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"
