Many peMonsinOmahn will remem ber Mr. James Sticknoy , who occu pied the position of locil editor on the Herald in this city in the fall of 1870 , a position which ho lillod with unusual ability for a few months , i'lio severity of the winter following njured his health to such an ovtent hat he was compelled to gi\e up tlin iou and seek a more gonhl chino n the east or south. The facts are 'allrd ' to mind by his urrival inOmaha n t week on his way to Denver , iCcitinp.iuiod by a party ol friends , who are to testify nt the lri.il nf hit Brother , Charles \\r. , for minder ivhlch began in that city yesterd iv The following account of the crime or which ho h being tried h taken 'roiu ' The Uoiton Journal , published vt the home of the accused. Several gentlemen have started fur Dmver to make an etVort to HII\I- fu m .he gallows Charles \V.

The story of wrong and of murderous revenge told 1 > > the friends of the young matt who hat done thin foul deed will in a ineaHUie palliate his crime , oven if it _ bo not proved that ho was insane. His brief career h.ia boon a peculiarly sad uno. On graduating with honors from II irvard a few years ago , ho entered businoHa , and was romarkabl'successful , He met a destitute but brilliant CU'iman girl , was touched by her sad history , and married her , hit trionds say , from motives of ehivalrio pity. He sent her to Germany to bo educated , and epent much money in fitting her for good society. But she proved un faithful , and desi > rtod him to live with Montgomery V. Campcau , a wealthy citi/.on of Denver. Her husband obtained a divorce in Massachusetts courts , and at the suggestion of friond.s , instituted a suit against Campean. It was settled by an agreement to p..y § 10,000 , of which Sll.fiOO was to bu paid in c.'i h , and u note was gixen foi the balance. But soon after the wife was cast out in the streets of Denver. She reached Chicago with her child , and in uro.it distress appealed to hot former husband forholn. He forcavi' ' her , and took her again at Inn \\ife. Learning of this , the man who had wronged them stopped piyinont on the note ho had given , accused tliu couple of practising blackmail , and it if alleged , procured the publication ol frequent newspaporiteius totlut ell''Ct. Strung at last beyond endurance. , and believing his wifo'n story that by u plot she was forced into the company of this man , the young husband do tin-mined to avenge the wrong botli had auH'ered. He went in search ol his enemy , found him in April last and quickly made him the target o his hm pistol. The first shot killec Mra. Dovoraux , who happened to bi standing near , but \uth wonderfu determination the incensed husbaiK pursued his work of revenge , and tin next shot carried instant death ti hia victim. Sticknoy wan nr rested , and his trial is to be ii on February 7. The defense is in sanity. Those who has known bin all his lifo Bay that lie had n numbe of mental peculiarities when a boy His ideas of chivnlry were sonlimon tal and oxtromo. One of bin teachers one or two of hia classmates , a cliun n college , and certain of his reltlivc nade up the parly which went froi : this city. Some of hia associates express press great doubt as to his insanity but all agree that ho received terri bio provocation. Hi wife is now li\ ing near this city. M * . Sticknoy'n classmates in Hai vard have raised a fund 84,000 to 1 ; empkyed in 1 is defense , and hav employed Leonard Swott , the famui Chicago law ) IT , to conduct the di fenso.
