From her Uf.cr to Mr. O'n'y, January Janu-ary 15. I enclose my lst letter t Mr. Byers. It is not for a reply. I expect ex-pect none. I want none. I care in it it hi wife is i'l.

The letters from the gentlemen above named to Mr. Byers strongly appeal to him to do Bouiethhu' to avert the impending calamity. Gen. Hughes' last letter writes of the depth of love the woman had for Byers, aud that his course was fast driving her md, adding: Her love wanted nothing but love in return; a love which would have sacritkd cvenjt'.my Jor you, and would take nothing from you; a love that has squandered more than tire f-Hand f-Hand dollars for your comfort ami entertainment, aud which now stands pleading for some action ou your part which will save her from ehauie and death, for one, with her sensitive nature, na-ture, will follow the othrn. The Xein adds : Thia pndwl the letter-writinz and two days later Mrs. S. made the assault as-sault with intent to kill, as has before been given to the public. Iu her letters and conversation she frequently fre-quently alluded to "black-maii" and 'black-mailing, " but never to make a definite demand. The allusions, however, tu the-subject, and the coincidence coin-cidence of the letters to Parks, West and Hughes, iu reference to makiiui any sacrifice to secure peace, when all considered together, seem very significant. sig-nificant. Their letters are published with italics and quotations, just as written. There are other facts to nhow that she was not dying of disappointed disap-pointed afiection and despair during all this time; that the afiected raving and insanity was pretence and nothing noth-ing more nor less. During the.e dark and despairing months, as Bhe would make them appear, she opened and conducted a sentimental correspondence corres-pondence with a gentleman in a distant dis-tant state. In the very crisis of her seeming distress, in the early part oi February, she displayed a strong affinity for a Golden gentleman, who; is well known. The minute particulars particu-lars can be clearly proven. AN ADVENTURE IN KANSAS. Of collateral significance to the aflair is the letter ul the city marshal of Lawrence, Kansas, dated February 26, 1870, as published in yesterday's Rocky Mountain Herald, from which 11, u fivlUMnn an orlr.l "Mrs. S. lived here for some time. I was well acquainted with her. She was spoken ot hero as 'rather fast.' Her husband accused her of adultry with one Colonel Burns, of Leavenworth, Leaven-worth, and she or he, I forget which, sued Burns afterwards. If I am not mistaken, both suits were finally settled out of court. After a while again she went ofl with Burns and lived with him some time. She told me that ho had promised to set her up in business and then a3 soon as she found his object, she left him and came home. It created considerable scandal talk here at the time." AlfO a letter from a well known and prominent citizen of this territory, dated April 13, 1S70, ia which are these words:" informed mi that this woman (Mrs. Sancomb) had played the same game on a gentleman of Leavenworth, Kansas." |
