Baltimore, December 3,1871.
On the 10t.lt day of July last, Mrs. Ellon
G. Wharton, widow of Maj. H. W. Whar
ton, late an officer of tlie United States
Army, was arrested in this city upon the
ebarge of poisoning Gen. W. Scott Ketch
urn, a retired officer of the United States
Army, and the attempt to poison Eugene
Van Ness, a clerk in the banking house ot
Alexander Brown & Sons, and her own
confidential business agent. For some
days before the arrest was made vague ru
mors were alloat throughout the city con
necting her name with these terrible crimes,
but they were passed by as idle gossip by
nearly all save those who were entrusted
With the duty of executing the law.
HKK SOCIAL POSITION.
Mrs. Wharton occupied a position in so
ciety second to no lady in Baltimore. Her
house was the favorite resort of the elite of
the city, and her countenance and favor
was courted hy the most refined circles of
Baltimore society. She was a prominent
member of the Episcopal Church and a
leading spirit in the charitable associations
of the city. Her only child, a beautiful
girl, named Nellie, was also conspicuous in
matters pertaining to religious and social
life, and her society, as well as her mother’s,
was of the most intelligent and refined.
Therefore, it is not to be wondered at that
the community in which she lived and
moved, a leading and moving spirit, was
startled when it was announced that she
was accused of the crime of murder.
SENSATION.
When the arrest was made a majority,
perhaps, of the community held up their
hands in horror, and declared that her ar
rest was “the most outrageous proceed
ing "that could be imagined, while many
others declared that she had not only
poisoned Gen. Ketchum, but full “half
dozen others of her friends, including her
husband and son.”
TESTIMONY SENT TO THE GUANO JURY.
,Saturday, the 15th of July, the grand
jury of Baltimore city took up the case, and
the following circumstantial evidence, ad
dlived in relation to the death of General
Ketchom and the jioisonlng of Mr. Van
Ness, it’d to her arrest :
On Saturday, June 24, General Ketchum
left his home In Washington for the purpose
of paying a visit to the family of Mrs
Wharton, where he was an intimate friend,
and for the additional purpose of collecting
a note of $2,000 which he held against her,
as she and her daughter had prepared to go
to Europe the following week. Shortly
alter arriving at Mrs. Wharton’s he was
taken very ill and died on Wednesday, June
2b. Dr. I*. ('. Williams, who attended him,
suspected poisou and immediately told his
suspicions to the Marshal ot Police, who
directed the detect ives to keep a close watch
upon Mrs. Wharton, and, at his suggest ion,
General Ketcbum’s remains were disin
terred and examined, and t wenty grains of
tartar emetic found in his stomach. It was
then ascertained that he had taken food in
Mrs. Wharton’s house, and this formed the
first link in the chain of evidence against
her A day or two after the death of Gen
era I Ketchum Mrs. Wharton went to Wash
ington and demanded of his son, Charles A
Ketchum, the payment of $4,000, which sin
said she had given to his father for safe
keeping He seemed surprised, and re
ferred her to General Brice, Paymaster Gen
er&l, who informed her when she applied to
him that the Ketchum estate owed her
nothing. He also called her attention to
the fact that General Ket,churn’s account
showed her in debt to him $2,600. When
he told her this she seemed much embar
rassed, and said that she paid that debt
some time before. General Ketchum’s
hooks were referred to, but no account of
the debt having been settled was found,
and her demand brightened the suspicions
that General Ketchum had been foully dealt
with in her house.
At first no one seemed to think that Mrs
Wharton had committed the crime, not
veu Gen. Ketchum’s friends, but when it
was settled beyond peradventure that he
had died from the administration of tartar
emetic, the inquiry went forth how it
coultl have been given. It was ascertained
that Mrs. Wharton had purchased sixty
grains of that drug at a store near her resi
h-nee, about the time Gen. Ketchum came
toher house. There was another clrcnm
stance in relation to the purchase of tartar
emetic to which the authorities directed
their attention. Several hours previous to
the arrival of Gen. Ketchum Mr. Eugene
Van Ness, her confidential business agent,
called at her house, aud while there she
ottered him a glassof beer, which he drank,
and was at once taken violently ill, and
was a week, even after Gon. Ketchum had
died, sick in her house, and the symptoms
Were remarkably like those attending the
illness of Gen. Ketchum. Mr. Van Ness
"as attended at Mrs. Wharton’s by Dr.
Chew and his own wife and sister, and
the ladles seemed to have had their sus
picions aroused by the sameness of the
symptoms of their relative and Gen.
Ketchum, aud when a milk punch was
brought up, prescribed by the physician,
Mrs. Van Ness tasted it, and, finding it
hitter, poured out the milk, and a white
sediment was found in the bottom. She
secreted the gla&s, and had the contents
examined hy a chemist, and they were
found to contain fifteen grains of tartar
emetic.
A “TRUK BILL” FOUND.
Upoti this evidence the grand jury found
'ihe bill upon which she will be arraigned
aud tried on Monday next.
SURMISES FROM ANTERIOR FACTS.
After she was arrested it was said that
her husband and son, each of whom had
a large policy of insurance upon their
lives, had died suddenly and in a most mys
terious manner, aud almost every one who
ha t been iulim&te at her house imagined
that they had been poisoned at some time
I' l
or other by her, and so asserted. The au
thorities, acting upon these rumors, had the
body of Major 11. W. Wharton, Jr., her son,
exhumed and examined, but no trace of
poison was found.
IN PRISON.
When Mrs. Wharton was transferred
tiom her luxurious home and the associa
tions of friends to the city jail her daughter,
or whom 1 have spoken, accompanied her,
protesting her mother’s innocence and re
fusing to leave her side. She has remained
wit h her to this day, sharing her tria ! s and
bearing up as best she could under the fear
ful calamity that has befallen their hitherto
untarnished household.
Hardly had the fact become known that
Mrs. Wharton had been arrested upon the
charge of murder than a thousand rumors
were afloat in relation to her former life,
and letters from people who either pretend
ed or did know her were published, stating
that she was insane when a child, and re
citing a thousand real or fancied pranks
she used to cut when a yflung girl.
During all the time Mrs. Wharton has
been in jail her many friends have declared
her innocence, and she has had their coun
tenance and support in an eminent degree.
One singular feature of the accusation in
the case of Van Ness is that he stoutly de
nies that Mrs. Wharton attempted to poison
him, and scouts the idea that she is guilty
of the crimes charged against her.
ORANGE OF VENUE.
On the 10th of October the cases against
her were called in the Criminal Court of
this city, and she was brought oat for
trial, when she made oath that she could
not get a fair trial here, and moved her
case to Anne Arundel county, the count v
seat of which is at, Annapolis. Vesterday
morning she was taken by Mr. Irving,
warden of the Baltimore city jail, to that
place for trial. She was accompanied by
her daughter and Mr. Nelson Crawford and
wife, her intimate personal triends.
The party, upon arriving, at once took
carriages and were driven directly to the
jail, where comfortable apartments had
been prepared for the prisoner aud her
daughter.
Mrs. Wharton’s health is quite good, but
her devoted daughter has suffered fearfully
from the prison confinement, and little trace
of the beautiful girl she once was is now
left.
PREPARING FOR THE TRIAL.
The most extensive arrangements have
been made, and are being made, for the
trial, and an immense crowd of strangers
are expected. Mr. A. K Syster, the newly
elected Attorney General ot the State, is
here looking into the case, and will assist
tlie State Attorney of tills county, Mr.
James Revell, in the prosecution. Mr. J.
Nevitt Steele and R. H. Thomas, of tire
Baltimore bar, and Mr. A B. Hagner, of
this place, appear for Mrs Wharton.
Eighty nine witnesses haw already been
summoned, and a large number more will
undoubtedly be called. Sixty three of the
eighty-nine have been Rubpomaed for the
defense, most of whom reside in Pennsyl
vania, Mrs. Wharton’s former home.
Monday will be entirely occupied with
the arralgnement of the prisoner and the
empannelitig of a jury.
WHAT WILL THE DEFENSE RE ?
The fact, that so many witnesses have
been summoned from a distance has given
color to a rumor that the defense will set
up the plea of insanity. The prisoner’s
friends declare, however, that such is not
the fact, and seem to fully believe that, she
will Ire acquitted upon the merits of the
case. The prevailing opinion among those
not interested either for or against the pris
oner seems to be that she is innocent.
ABSORBING INTEREST.
The entire trial will be one of absorbing
interest, and the court may be occupied
two or three weeks in its consideration.
Mrs Wharton’s friends, among whom may
be numbered almost the entire aristocratic
element of Baltimore city, are making ex
tensive arrangements to lie present.
Never before, in the history of criminal
prosecutions, has a case been called around
which clusters so much interest as around
this, and each day’s proceedings will be
pregnant with unlooked-for developments.
A complete report will be sent the Herald
each day.
VoutloulMiii lii Louisiana.
The Planter’s Banner- says ; The conjur
ing mania seems to be on the increase among
the negroes of St. Mary and along the Te
che in Louisiana. Though one of the most
foolish things on earth, the negroes have an
unshakened confidence in it. Any old
rough-looking negro, wi'h an old bag con
taining bones, hair, lizard heads, and other
ends of traps and trash, in keeping with a
wild African imagination, can pass himself
off as a conjurer, and the negroes are all
afraid of him. He pretends to have the
power to put spells upon other negroes,
sickness, insanity, delusions and death at
his will. 1! any negro is sick, and the dis
ease is a little odd in Its symptoms, the wild
fancy of the negro immediately attributes
the Illness to voudouism.
it is astonishing to notice the alarm
which these negro impostors create among
their own race. The canning of some of
these conjurers is often remarkable. Last
season one of them collected some live
lizards, and. attending a voudoued patient,
pretended to take one of these reptiles from
her arm. He would allow no one to see him
do it, but as soon as it. was done he sent to
the field, and the hands rushed to the quar
ters to see the remarkable lizard which had
just, been extracted from the arm of the wo
man, who for weeks had not able to do any
thing on account of the horrid infirmity in
flicted upon her by a conjurer.
The same crafty conjurer made a practice
of collecting the youngest alligators he
could find in the swamps, using them for
the same purpose as he used the lizards.
So far as we can learn, all the genuine pure
blooded Africans belive in Voudouism to a
greater or less extent. It is a part of their
nature, inherited from their Africau ances
tors, and it will go down to their posterity
through a thousand generations, if the race
does not become extinct.
A Npav Zinc Paint.—-The new zinc paint
of remarkable stability and particularly
adapted to coating metals is prepared in
Belgium by mixing zinc white and soluble
oda or potash glass. It adheres better to
metaiie zincs than any other preparation,
and diminishes the ab'-ortlon of heat so
materially that attic rooms under a roof
painted with it show ten degrees less tem
perature than the unprotected rooms. It
bears all changes of temperature, cold, snn
and rain, and what will give it great value
is the fact that it will render fabrics, paper,
wood and all tissues entirely incombustible.
Wood painted with it will resist flame for
a long time, and, if the poresconld be fitted
with it there would be no danger of its
bursting into flame. The same materials
mixed in different proportions could be
cast into molds and used very much as
plaster now is. If the zinc, were not too
expensive an artificial stone could be made
by combining the silicate of soda with the
oxide.— Journal of Applied Chemistry.
Attention, Ladies!—A dry goods firm
in Philadelphia recently sued a man for the
amount of a bill run up by his wife. Judge
Thayer, in his charge to the jury, said : “It
is a false and foolish notion for tradespeo
ple to entertain, that a husband is bound
to pay all bills contracted by his wife. No
such monstrous doctrine is allowed in the
law. Tradesmen must ascertain the facts
and the true relations of man and wife be
fore allowing the latter to run np bills
which he is to be looked to to pay.’’ Ver
dict for the stingy old husband.
