He Was a. hand some men with the blonde, German aspect, tall and slender, and cultivated a full blonds mustache He was always reticent about himself, dressed very quietly. seldom tried to talk with anyone upon current affairs, and had a. very slight accent. W'ben people who come there wished to indulgi in quotat- ionsfromany nu thor,whether classic or other~ wise, he seemei to take an interest, and for a time he became amoivg the better educated members of the legislature and their friends quite an umpire upon all matters pertaining to literature. His ski! in fencing was dis- closed accidentally when a friend lunged at him with a cane, and coming outside the bar Maiz took another cane, and in a. few passes struck his friend two or thre times in the ribs, and then by a dexterous twist, wristcl the weapon from him, throw’ng it twenty feet away. No one knew his history. He went on drawing beer, seldom drinking. and never telling the story of his life. On May 29 a brother of Meiz came into the saloon, and a warm greeting took place between them. The brother romained there several days, when both went to New York. where they noware, at what address is not known. But before he left Meiz confided to Henry Don- his history, which is one of the most curious romances outside of fiction.

While there. although a very diligent student at his books, he was also a very studious scholar at the most neCessary art in Hiedelburgâ€"that of fencing. He was also somefih Ll; of a. roysterer, ant frequenf- lv covnplaints were made in ms father by the. Heidelhurn authorities of his dangerous pranks. The father, however, was very len- ient, anti readily condoned the offenses of his son, inasmuch as he had himself been 3 lol of the stme sort, when he was at the n Ime institution. One night when young Meiz and his fellow student; ware more hil- arious than 11311 1.], they serenaded the daugh- ter of a wealthy burgher named Schoppfen, to whom Meiz had been paying attention. and while doing so a. patrol, commanded by a Lit us W'ertz sn, ordered twem to disperse, Meiz proposed coolv to the lieutenant that the two settle the matter between them on the sp)t. The challenge was accepted, in tWo pa. ses Meiz pmssed his weapon through tne lieutlnant’s breast. Meiz friends im- ‘ mei'liately hurried him away. and after sev- ‘ erul Weeks of hiding he was enabled to cross the Vosges mountslns and make his way by mil (0 M irseilles, whence he sailed to Am~ erica. He srdved in New York, attempfel school to Aching, found it paid him “We more than his board, came to Albany, and for nearly six months was a, bartender for Henry Dorr. In the meant me he had heard nothing from home, not having written for fear that his father would be implicated in his crime by theBismark regime, and it was only at the close of [at month that he heard a word from home. On May 29 the young r brother of Meiz found him after atwo years' search, and gave him the informztioo that his fathe- had died two years belore, and left his tit‘e to the elder brother (the bar- tender), with ab ml: ‘200 000 or about $60,- 000. a hundred acres of land, anl the ances tril mansions The two b o‘hera left a week ago {or New York, having in the meantime held communication with the Bismarck gov- ernment. and found that the crime of the young landgrave, in killing the lieutenant in a. duel, will probably be conrioned.

EATONS’- "If you desire I will inform you from Whom you can learn the truth of the affair.” The statement made by Perry is no doubt correct, as the superintendent of the Cnil- dren’s home heard his request to his wife, which she refused to comply with. Mr. Perry says that he never intends to live with his Wife again. Perry 19 said to be a brother of the noiorious Ben Perry, who is said to bea brother of the notorious Ban Pexry.!whoia wanted for burglaryâ€"Gin. cinati Enquirer. "This was inflicted while Robinson had me down on the floor. I reached out and picked up a small hand-Ax which was lying near the stove, and dealt him one blow on the head. It was that blow that killed him and saved me, as in a. second more I would have received another stab which would have ended my life. He died the next day, and I was taken to the hospital. The talk she made of my jumping my bail is all non- sense, as T was not on bail, but lying help- less in the hospital with my life despaired “Yesfl did; but it was a. clear 0389 of self-defense, and I was acquitted of the charge of manslaughter. The deed occurred one evening while seated at the supper ta- ble. He attacked me with a. dirk-knife, and herein the wound that hegave me.” Mr. Perry opened his sKirt and-exhibited an_u_gly scar on ybe left breast. “Some time ago I left Cincinnati, and in my traveling about I found myself in the Lane Star state, where I concluded to re- main. and worked steadily for quite awhile, and in the meantime became acquainted with my wife, then MIEB L'zzie Robinson, whose lather was a well-to-do citiz -n of the place. Like many young men, I became infatuated, and made up my mind to marry Miss Rob- inson I went to her father and asked for his consent, but was met with a. blank re- fusal, and told to discontinue my visits about the place, but his objections were Ig- uored in a clandestine marriage. Such a course made my fa ther-iu-law a. bitter enemy. We had many quarrels, but noth- ing of a serious nature, as I concluded to leave the place, and come on here. I am sorry to say my wife contracted a. strong de. sire for drink, and I attempted several times to break her of the habit, out without suc- cess. When we arrived here a short time ago she drank so that I was compelled to leave her. I went to my sister's and my wife was given lodging at the Home of the Friendless. Yesterday I was passing up Court street, and when near Mound street my wife spied me. She leit the child on the sidewalk and ran away. Of course, I took my child and brought it home. I could not leave it in the street. I promised her to Bay her board and give her money besides, ut would not live with her." "But she says you killed her father. Is there any_ truth in her statement I" The poor woman, after she had concluded the tale of the wrong she had suffered under such trying and peculiar circumstances, started out .of the station in quest of her stolen child. Charles Perry, the husband, who, with his child, was stopping at his sister‘s, No. 424 West Ninth street, read the pavagnph ani at once repsired to the cen- tral station, stating that he was the man whom it was claimed through the press had on the day belore stolen his own child, if there was such a crlme. Capt. Devine asked him to relate his version at the story ani all the circumstances connected with his d0- mestic life. Mr. Perry, who is yct quite a young man and with nothing about his gene- ral appearance that would indicate blooi- thirstiness, began, and in a clear Ind pra else manner made the following statement: "Charles Perry, the young man who is the author of all my ncent troubles, arrive} in the state of Texas a little over {our years ago, and settled down at Brooketone, Le Mar county, Texas. where, after a 5170 t courtship, we were m‘nrried. Not, howew r I am at rry to say, with the approbatisn in I consent of my father, who was a p- osperona trader in the country. I was not long in perceiving agrowing jealousy betwesn my father and husband, which culm’natad in the death of a fond parent at the hands of a worthless husband. Au arrest quickly fol- lowed end the whole community were much agitated over the tragedy, as ‘old man Rob- inson’ (my father) was respectably co nect- ed. At first I concluded to abandon my husband and leave him to his fate. But his constant pleading caused me lo relent, and I czlled to see him at the jail when he was incarceratei awaiting his trial. After aeve ml inelfectual Mtgmpts in procuring bail I was at last succesaful in inducing Capt. Shelton. a. very wealthy man, who, through sympathy for me, consented to go on his bond. “\Vhen the date fixed for the trial drew near my husband began to grow extremely nervous, anl finzlly announced his inten- tkn of leaving the state. I C(nsented to share with him the hardships and peril; of such acouree, knowing that in doing so I would incur the hatred of all my former friends. BJt, woman like, I clung to him, for which I am now repentant. Indian Ter- ritory was the first place in which we con- cluded to stop, as we felt secure {10m fur- ther pursuit, and in that wild region my child was born. My husband becoming d12- satisfied with the place. at last concluded to start for Cincinnati, where we arrived a short time since. The relatives and friends of my husband live here, 3114 he is protected in his eztreme cruelty towards me. I know he will kill or take my innocent babe to his mother’s horns, and they Will send it away.” er; "I saw him kill my gray-baireg father be'ore my eyes.” This sudden and unlock ed for announcament put a different phase to her story, and when questioned by the captain as to tho cirrecbnesa of her state- ment she related the {o lowing harrowing story, which, if true, would make her liego lord an undesirable citizen in any commu- nity: on MURDERED HIS FATHER-IN-LAW.
