WOMAN'S WRECK
Of a Family That Was Once
Believed to be Happy.
A Divorce Case In Denver Which Wll
Interest Omaha People In Many
Ways.
The subjects of the following art !
clo are well known in Omaha. Mr
Sperry wtii for some time in the liv
cry business hero , a clerk in the
poatotllco , a councilman and deputy
sheriff. Ho also resided in this city
until ho reo jived the appointment o
post trader. The article is from the
Denver Tribune of Saturday morning
and runs as follows :
The taking of tliu depositions o
witnesses for the plaintiff in the son-
national divorce suit of Sperry vs
Sperry was concluded yesterday
morning before Sam Mi1 ton , commissioner
sionor , and the sealed testimony sen
at once to the plaintiffs attorneys ii
Ytmkton , Dakota. Several additions
witnesses wore examined , their test !
mouy all being to the effect that Mrs
Sperry had lived with Daniel Grot ;
ory as his wife , and had booi
married to Gregory , the tranaactioi
having been , it is alleged , illegal in n
double sense and that both hud boot
guilty of other t-roBs { regularities
which would hardly fit either for a
place very high in the religious 01
hooial circles in which the woman hiu
once moved. Mrs , Willoughby , who
came down from Morrison , tcstifiec
that Gregory and the defendant hai
formerly roomed ut her house , living
together as mar. and wife. Julius
Levy stated that Mrs , Sperry admit
ted that she wrs Gregory's wife when
the latter was in jail charged witl
rape. All stated tliat aho claimed to
have been

by Justice C. S. Eyntor on the 14 tl
of November , 1880. Stephen B.
Hudson's testimony was similar to his
confreres. Detective Joe Arnold related
latod the fact of the arrest of Urcgory
when ho found them together on
Chatham street occupying the same
apartment. In reference to the pri
vate character of Mrs. Sperry the wit
ness states that oho was a complete
wreck mentally , physically and mor
ally , and had boon living in n tout
with Gregory somewhere in the sub
urbs of- the city. Witnesses stated
that she drank continually and to the
moat frightful excess ; that her asso
ciates wore the lowest of the low , and
that from being the happy and
loved wife of a prosperous and influ
ential man she had sunk to the slums
where the street had almost become
lior homo and the gutter her bed , all
through her own infatuation and fool-
hardiness.
She told ono of the witnesses thut
she had tried Sperry for twenty years ,
and was now determined to stand by
Qrogory. After the examination a

Twenty-eight years ago , on the 1st
lay of October , 1845 , at Nuslmu ,
Now Hampshire , Angelina 0. Sperry ,
was married to her present husband ,
vho is now applying for a divorce ,
[ t was a notable event in the little
tillage when Angio Fuller was mar
ried to Charles 0. Sperry , the promi-
lent Boston merchant , Sperry had a
jnuich store in Nashua , and there ho
not Miss Miller. She was young
ind pretty then and a favonto in the
ittlo town. Sperry was burnt out
, wico in Boston , and in n day when
Ires were not so profitable as they
ire now. Ho tool : his family west to
Dinalin , where ho took a position as
noiioy order clerk in the postodico ,
ind soon began to retrieve his for-
.uno. His wife was n leader in
lllllt OWN HOL'IAL C'lHOLU
hen , ovury Suuday she occupied her
> ow at Trinity church and no ono
vould hnvo guessed the and denoue
ment which has since brought her to
i hovel and u nameless relationship
with an unworthy man.
Speny Hgain engaged in merchan-
Ji/.ing , nuulu money , mid was finally
ippomted Indian ngcnt nnd post tmt-
ur at Yunkton , DAutn. Hero his
rife mot nnd became infatuated with
iis clerk , Daniel Gregory , a common
ooking fellow whoso occupation ever
linco has never boon above the grade
) f tliu most common laborer , and ran
iwny with him , coming by way of
Dmiiha and Kansai City to Denver ,
L'hu couple arrived hero two years ago
n June , and have been hero over
linco. From
IIKUK TUB HTOUY HASTES
upidly to her downfall and dograda-
ions and is given as nearly as possible
n the rolator'a own language :
"Before Mrs. Sherry left Yunkton
ihn ordered over $1,200 worth of
Irosses and line underclothes and had
hew charged to her husband. But
10 improvident were they about
noney matters that she had to pawn
lor watch in Kansas City to got money
.o pay George's faro to Denver. On
lor arrival hero her sister paid her
jxtra freight on her baggage , nnd she
went to the house with "Dan" and
.hat inevitable dog Prince , with a sere
eg , which is always with her , "
"What were her habits herol"
"Sho laid drunk on the iloor from
morning until night beside the dog ,
ind Gregory was not much bettor ,
The moat horrible things are related
of both of them. The woman would
DO OUT TO THE SALOON
about 10 o'clock at night and got more
whisky , and she and Gregory would
lay around the room from morning
antil night. The couple moved rap-
dly from place to placo. They had
rooms for a time on Champa street ,
: hey boarded with her outer , they
boarded at the Tauoy house , and at
the illiams house- and I don't know
ho w many other places. Gregory drov
a J.Iordic coach for a while , and for
time was employed to drivi
a street sprinkler. In fact ho di (
any little odd job ho could lay hi
hand to. Finally this other troubl
came , and Gregory was arrested for
rape. In the expose of their private
relations which followed , Mra. Sperrj
thought it would bo better to get mar
ried to Gregory. Now comes the pe
culiar part of the affair They won
before 0. S. Eyster , then and now nn
ex-justice of the peace , with their at
lornoy , a prominent young member o
the Denver bar , and the justice mar
ried ( ? ) them on the
DAY HE WENT OUT OF OFFICE.
"In regard to this matter nnd otho
things connected with it , " continue !
the Tribune informant , "I can prom
iao you some sensationa' ' development
before many days. Things occurro <
about that time which would stir U ]
the indignition of every roapcctabl
person in Denver if they were pub
fished. '
"Where is Gregory and the woman
now ? "
'Mrs. Sperry is living in a room in
a little hovel at 31 South Twolftl
street. I aaw her on the street to
day , a wreck of her former self
Gregory is working on Doctor's
ranch , about three miles from the
city ; ( is a common 'dock hand/ turn
ing his attention to cow punching or
digging post holes , whichever oomcs
most convenient. The couple lived
in a tent on the ranch for a while
but I expect they thought they hm
better separate , pending the trial o
this suit. "
"What kind of a looking man is
Gregory ? "
"Ho is a tall , ungainly man , witl
rod side whiskers and a long neck
Ho dresses coarsely in overalls , and ' .
do not see how any woman could over
admire him especially Mrs. Sperry
whoso husband was a very fine look
ing and genteel man. "
IIKH DBFENKE.
"Mrs. Sperry herself , " the relater
continued , "told mo that are did no
care anything for Gregory , bu
wanted to uao him. She expect
to prosecute her husband for selling
liquor totho Indians on the reservation
tion , a penal offense She claims Urn
she left because her husband wa
guilty of improper irregularities wjtl
hi npico , Georgio Sporry. Georgio
has since , howovoi ? , been married to
their son Harry , who is now Indian
agent in his bro'hor's place , as the law
provides that only men of family ma ;
hold that position. When Mrs
Sperry hoard of this marriage she
called the curses of high heaven upon
her husband , who had thus covorct
up his shame , she claimed , in his son'
dishonor.

SMITH ON DECK.
The Wheeler & Wileon Agent
on His W y to Omaha.
Something Now Aoout the Bobbery
Racket , nnd Another Sldo to the
Embezzlement Story.
Sidney Smith , the runaway genera
agent of the Wheeler & Wilson sow
itig machine company , is by this time
on his way to Omaha from Little
Hock , Ark. , where ho was arrested ot
a telegraphic request last week , Dep
uty Sheriff Crowoll went after Smitl
on Friday , and , it is expected , will return
turn with him this evening. The
statement in TIIK BEB that Smith was
acting as the agen bf the company-ill
that city wa partly incorrect , owing
to the mistake in the dispatch aom
from Little Bock , Smith was en
gaged in the sale of Wheeler & Wil
son machines , but as a canvasser for
the agent , wheae name is llobbins.
It appears that the company have
been cognizant of Smith's wherea
bouts for some time , but have contin
ued to watch him until some facts
could bo arrived at which would es
tablish a case on the charge of ombez-
E'emont. The amount for which
Smith is claimed to bo a defaulter is
not known , nor can it bo until the ac
cused man produces the books which
have boon missing since his depart
ure. These books will enable the
company to learn their exact loss.
Among the diuses for Smith's defi
cit is the robbery , which ho claimed to
have suffered about five weeks pre
vious to his departure. At the time
th's robbery was alleged to have been
committed , some doubts existed con
cerning the actual occurrence , but af
ter developments show that Smith
was doubtless victimized to the tune
of two or three hundred dollars.
Ho was known to have drawn $500
from the bank in the afternoon for
the purpose of paying for certain fur
niture and carpets which he had put
into the now office rooms in the opera
house block. Instead of paying the
bills mentioned , however , his evil
guniuH , whisky , got the bettor of him
und by night ho was wandering
around in the neighborhood of the
dives on Tenth street , between Doug
las and Dodge streets. Ho was in
veigled into one of the dives , whore a
notorious colored woman known as
"Slick Sal" hangs out. How long ho
was there it is not known , but the
city agent of the company states
that Smith came to the office
about 2 o'clock in the morning and
said that ho had been robbed. Al
though ut first not definite as to where
he had been "touched" at length his
head cleared enough to enable him to
remember whore lie had boon. He
then alleged that this "Slick Sal" had
invited him into her place and had
given him something to drink , after
which she told him to lie down on
the couch and go to sloop. He did so
and , while asleep , was faintly con
scious of somebody's going through
him , but was unable to move or pre
vent them.
After awhile ho aroused himself
ind went out and steered for the
office. While on the way ho found
; hat all of his money except $50 had
loon taken , but ho had iorgotte *
where ho had boon. When he finally
recovered his mind ho insisted that ho
md been dosed and the money taken
'rom him by the negro woman referred
o.
One of Smith's friends investigated
; ho matter as thoroughly as ho could
m the following day , and discovered
.hat the negro woman had skipped
) Ut , but where aho had gene no ono
vould toll. It was afterwards dis-
jovored that she had gone to Sioux.
3ity with a negro gambler who was
lor "solid man , " and that they t >
'other had spent most of the money
hero.
This unfortunate affair is stated by
in employe of the office to have made
smith very despondent and ho scorned
o have entirely lost his grip. The
tflairs of the office went
mphazard and three weeks
lipped along without Smith's
uaking a report. The result of this
viia the change of agents. Smith's
if tor disappearance has boon pub-
ishod heretofore , nnd the particulars
if it are familiar to TIIK HUE readers.
.t is expected that when Smith is ox-
iminod ho may have some inter-
sting statements to in alto
cncorning other parties who
voru in the otlico under him some
imo ago. The general opinion of
hoao who know the urrcatod man
> est is thut ho did not intend to do-
raud the company , but that when ho
vug "touched he tried to make it up
> y extra sales , and then , being re-
noved , resolved to skip out und taku
ho books with him , in order to leavu
ho aflair clouded as much ut possible.
BURGLARS MAKE A HAUL.
"ho Residence of John Little , the
Grocer , Robbed of $250.
Valuable Gold Watch , Jewelry and
Money Taken.
A well executed burglary waa com-
nittod Saturday night upon the house
f John Little , the grocer , on South
Nineteenth street. A gold watch of
aluablo workmanship and highly
irizod because of its associations , two
old breastpins , a pair of heavy ' gold
leovo buttons and about $50 in cash
rero stolen ,
The entrance to the house was
iflbotod through a front bay window ,
vhich waa loft unfastened , BO that the
mrglora easily pushed it up. The
lour of the burglary is put by Mr.
Jittlo at about 4 o'clock , as ho had
men up about every hour previous to
hat time to attend to ono of his child-
on who waa ill. When ho finally
ank to sloop it waa to slumber very
oundly , and the family did not
iwukon until late in the morning ,
Whether chloroform had been used or
lot ho waa unable to tell , aa the odor of
medicines i.i the room had Destroyed
the possibility of detecting it.
_ When Mr. Little began to dreas he
discovered first the Ions of hU pocket
hook , in which ho had * bjut 850.
Ho then iniaaed hi ? wr.tuh. It had
been in his vest , which hung over she
bed. The watch chain had been cut
and a part of it was still attached to
the vest. Further investigation revealed -
vealod the leas of two fine gold breast
pins belonging to Mrs. Little and her
husband's heavy gold sleeve buttons.
Ono of the breast pins had an ame
thyst stone and the sleeve buttons
also contained nmothyat. The burg
lars had left no tracks or other evi
dences which might lead to their de
tection , and the only way in which to
catch the thieves will bo through the
stolen proprrty. OlUcera are working
up the case.
THE UNION SPY.
The Open iuj ; Night of the Grand
Military Drama.
Other Dramatic Events Near ntHaud
On Saturday evening the final rehearsal -
hoarsal of the grand military and
spectacular drama , the Union Spy ,
which will bo presented for the first
time this evening ut Boyd's opera
house , took place in that temple of
Thespis with most satiafactory results.
This drama has boon iti course of
preparation for several weeks , under
the supervision of Colonel E. 13. Tempe -
po ! , the author , and is produced under
thi3 auspices of the Grand Army of
the llopublic for the benefit of the
widows' and orphans' relief fund
The caato has boon Well
and carefully ' chosen aud
the training thorough and constant.
The consequence is that the rehearsal
itself waa u splendid entertainment ,
mid with all the stage accessories ,
acoitic eifects and tableaux which will
be added ut the regular poformanco
to-night it will bo ono of the most ex
citing and thrilling plays over seen in
Omaha.
Col. Temple has donn some sploi >
did work for the boys of Custer post ,
and it cannot but result in a great suc
cess financially. The appearance of a
battallion of regulars in the flag pres
entation scone , the battle scene and
the scene in the Andoraonvillo prison
pen , will each call forth the heartiest
admiration , and the tableaux
and battle in which the
mimic gun-boats appear and
shell the woods are moat effective.
Col. Temple is himself an actor of
rare ability , and ho will bo well sup
ported in all the parts.
The securing of special low rates on
all the railroads loading into the city
will secure the attendance of a largo
lumber of visitors from abroad , and
; ho entertainments of Monday , Tues-
lay and Wednesday nights and
Wednesday matinees will be all too
'ow to accommodate the crowds who
will desire to BOO "Tho Union Spy. "
M'LISS.
Following "Tho Union Spy , " on
Thursday evening the favorite actress ,
Anuio Pixley , appear at Boyd's in
"M'liss or the Child of the Sierras. "
' 'We have heretofore recorded our
: onviction of this gifted actress and
pretty woman. In her line she is
lonpareil , combining the frolic and
: hic of Lotta with the archness of
Charlotte Thompson. We know no
ictress who could combine so much
is does Miss Pixley , and wo are sure
jur public will welcome her appear-
xnco hero on next Thursday night. "

On Friday and Saturday evening
md in matinee Saturday afternoon ,
.his great tragedian will appear at
Boyd's , playing Macbeth , Richelieu ,
ind Fool's Revenge. An exchange
ays :
"Keone'a conception of the ambi-
ious Macbeth , like everything else
, hat Mr. Keene does , is full of strik-
ng originalities. The Thane of Caw-
lor as presented by the tragedian , is
i man of singular nobility , goaded on
o unnatural deeds of blood by his
ust for ambition , but with a moral
weakness which palsies his purpose.
Macbeth , when ho has pained the
hrone , is tortured by the memories
> f his crime. The portrayal of the
sonflicting emotions of the character
jy Mr. Keene is.said to bo the acme
) f stage art. In the final soouo of the
ilay , a prominent critic says , 'Mr.
veono's Macbeth is the incarnation
if despair. Like a lion driven into a
over , ho turns upon his persecutors ,
glits with terrible energy , and dies
nest effectively. ' The patrdna of the
Ihakaperian drama have a rich treat
