It was found two days after when
the thief ha 1 left it , atter examining
the contents It contained jewelers
tools and materials , for which , it K

mer failed to give his name , and il
has not been discovered since.
A little domestic niiaundoratandinf

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

who are to testify nt the lri.il nf hit
Brother , Charles \\r. , for minder

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

, -011111' man , and a graduate of liar-
. ard college , whoso brilliant attain-

ciates in this his homo. - 'ouveulH '
ago the tact was brielly chronicled
that iMontguniory l'C.impo.iu , a
an of properly in Denver , I'ol , had
i'i'ii shot by an alleited blackmailer ,
nnd that a misaimed bullet fioin the
uss.xilant'H piatid had killed a Mrs.
Dovereaux , who happened to bo
near the scone of the trai-edy.
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

His ideas of chivnlry were sonlimon

press great doubt as to his insanity
but all agree that ho received terri
