An alleged murder of a wife, by her husband, who now stands charged with the fearful crime of causing the poor woman's death, by administering to her a powerful dose of deadly poison. It appears that a French artist by the name of Leon Mullier, resided with his wife, Eliza Jane Mullier, at 22 Howard Street. Several weeks prior to her death, Leon and Eliza were engaged in violent quarrels. On Sunday Eliza Jane Mullier was seized with a severe illness and lingered in intense agony of pain until Monday morning. Although Leon was cognizant of Eliza's situation, he made no effort to assist her until about 7:00 a.m. Monday. That's when Dr cheeseman and Dr. Cox were called in. They could not alleviate the Eliza's sufferings and about 9:00 a.m. on Monday, she died. The neighbors immediately became alarmed and their suspicions being aroused. They believed Eliza was the victim of some fatal narcotic. They called the coroner and an inquest was held on Tuesday. Dr. E.C. Franklin living at 150 Waverley place was the physician to the coroner. He made a post mortem examination, during which he found evidence of opium and some other poison. The contents of Eliza's stomach ere taken to the chemist, Professor Reid for analysis. Her has detected opium and will give his testimony at 10:00 this morning. Leon was taken into custody by Captain Scatliff of the fourteenth partro Distgrict to await the result of the investigation. November 28, 1851, Front page.... A french lady by the name of Mrs Eliza Jan Muler (Spelled different yesterday), living at 22 Howard Street, it was generally supposed by the neighbors, Eliza had fallen bictim to the designs of her husband B.A. Muler (yesterday the paper read Leon Mullier). Monday an inveestigation was started before Alderman James R. Ball, of the Ninth Ward. For two day the examination was conducted. By some star-chamber principle, and by some management, the proceedings were kept away from the public. Wednesday the case was adjourned until 10:00 yesterday morning. Professor Reid analysed the contents of Eliza's stomach. In 17 ounces of mucus fluid, dectected one hundred and fifty drops of laudanum, princially composed of opium. Professor Reid said the quantity was sufficient to produce death in five or six hours. For an inspection of the inquest and testimony, nearly all the witnesses previously examined were either relatives or personal friends of Mr. Muler. Their names were: Jane Moneul Eden Allen Paul De Lussan L. Serre J.P. Berard Thomas A. Davies V. Coussen Dr. E.C. Franklin Sarah Swansborough The final cause of death was: over dose of laudanum. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Article Text: Originally submitted by: L. Schmidt The Twelfth Regiment. Several of the correspondents of the Eastern papers have borne pretty hard upon the Twelfth regiment, for their conduct in the battle of Thursday, the 18th of July. Probably one cause of this may be found in the fact that that regiment had no newspaper correspondent or editor on the spot to speak in its defence. Col Walrath has been denounced as a coward, and represented as fleeing from his regiment during the action. As he has demanded a court of inquiry as to the matter, we shall probably soon know whether the charges made against him are true or not. But, until a proper tribunal desides[sic] that he acted the part of a coward, we shall think the allegation is untrue. - We had a short interview with an officer in the Untied States Army, who was present at that battle, and had good opportunity of ascertaining what was the personal bearing of the officers, and he assured us that that of Col Walrath was not a coward. In speaking of the men of the 12th regiment, and of Capt Root's company, he said that "no troops could have stood up under the fire to which they were exposed." The truth is, the men at that battle, had had a long and tedious march, after a light and insufficient breakfast, and were led into the action against the masked batteries without even being allowed a few moments rest. The enemy were strongly posted behind their fortifications, aside of logs, and behind trees, and it was sure death for the men to attempt to take such a battery with so few numbers as made the attack. The heat of the day, too, was so intence[sic] that many officers and men fell from fatigue and the effect of the sun. The Syracuse 'Journal' contains a letter written at Washington on the 24th, from Peter Baumgrass, a gentleman of that city, which we think gives a fair account of the battle. The wounded man William Graham, is a Batavian, and a member of Capt Root's company, and is known here as Billy Grimes. He was wounded by a musket ball, it appears, instead of a bayonet thrust. Mr Baumgrass says: I regret that I, like thousands of others, was misled by scamps of sensation reporters, in regard to the conduct of our Onondaga volunteers in the late battle at Bull's Run. I have since ascertained, from a number of sources, that in bravery and courage they were equal to the best; and those whose wounds are still bleeding, give the best testimony. I visited, this morning, our College hospital, and fond a Syracusan among the wounded patients. His name is Wm. Graham, Co. K, Capt. Root. He was shot with a rifle ball near the abdomen, so that the ball passed sideways in the hip region. The ball is so deeply imbedded, that the surgeon, after counsel, decided that it would be dangerous to extract it,and determined to let it rest and heal the wound. Mr. G. is doing well and feels comfortable.The hospital is under excellent management, and the patients are under the care of tender, kind-hearted, refined ladies, administering to their wants with angelic gentleness and skill. Mr Graham gave me a lively account of the engagement of the 19th: and from all I learn, our troops acted like lions and veterans. I hear that we have five killed, but the number of the wounded I could not yet ascertain. This is a small number, but large and sad enough for all the loving souls that are thus cast in mourning in old Onondaga county. Most of the wounded are eager to get back into their ranks, to avenge the losses of that day. A member of one of the Syracuse companies writes to his friends as follows: On Thursday before we went into the fight, we had marched ten miles, with forty-three rounds of ammunition, a heavy blanket and a haversack of rations. We then had to run around the field for about an hour to get in shape for an attack, and were then ordered into the woods in double quick. We rushed along every man, until we were opened upon by a discharge of grape and canister, shot from a masked battery. We discharged our pieces in the direction that the fire came from, and received orders to lay down; which we did, and gave them another volley. We stood our ground under a tremendous fire of musketry, which was kept up incessantly, until we got the order to retreat. Capt. Locke was put under arrest for giving the order to retreat. The Colonel did not give it, but it was a fortunate thing that it was given, or we should all have been cut to pieces. We were all drawn up Friday and Saturday, expecting another attack, but as you already know none was made until Sunday, and in that we were not engaged, the enemy having refused to reply to or attack the batteries belonging to our brigade. You are already aware that our army had to retreat. We left the field about 6 o'clock P.M., and marched back to Centreville, a distance of about 5 miles, and formed there, expecting an attack. - No attack was made, however, and at half past ten o'clock the word was passed along to prepare to march, and we certainly thought that we were going in for a night attack. I could not be persuaded that we were retreating, until we were five or six miles on the road to Washington. Then I was convinced on beholding wagons upset, provisions thrown along the road, arms and ammunitions strewed on the wayside, that were thrown away by ! tired soldiers. - We marched all night and arrived at Washington about ten o'clock next day, after having traveled a distance of about 30 miles, without having eat anything since Sunday morning. Lieut. Wood, of one of the Companies in the Twelfth Regiment, in writing to his friends at Syracuse, says that after the skirmishes - 24 out of each company in the Brigade – have been driven back by the rebels, the Massachusetts 1st were sent down on the right of the enemy's position, and soon came out on a run, in disorder; the 2d Michigan were then ordered down to the front, where they stopped about two minutes, and moved off to the right. Two pieces of artillery with a troop of cavalry were then sent down to the front, and halted under cover of the woods. - The artillery entered to the left of the woods, took a position and opened fire. The 12th New York were then ordered down to support the artillery. We arrived at a position to the left of a heavy wood, where we were covered in part by a thick undergrowth of light brush and then halted. An artillery officer came out of the wood, and ordered us into it to support his battery, which he said was being cut up. The Colonel saw Col. Richardson (the commander of our brigade) down toward the left and asked him if he should go. - After hesitating, he said, "Yes, go in and drive them out," and never were men more eager for the fray than were ours. The brush was so thick that we could not keep any kind of a line. The advance was more o a charge than an advance, and no one knew where or how far the enemy were from us, or what their position was. In that condition the right had to descend a bank, the centre to a leap a fence, and the left going down a side hill. the Regiment received a fire that had it been well directed, would have swept every man into eternity. ! The enemy were so close, that every man on the right felt the powder in his face, so that they must have fired over us. I do not know the names of all, but some thirty or thirty-five fell killed or wounded. While lying under the fire of the enemy, Lieut. Wood mentioned an incident which will be of some interest to Batavians. - Lieut. Upton, of N. York, belonging to the regulars rode up n rear of us, saying that he was a regular and wished us to listen to him. 'The command was given, 'cease firing,' the boys obeyed and laid there with the balls flying over them, and listened to a pithy little 4th of July speech from Lieut. Upton; gave him a cheer and resumed their firing.' Note: FYI: Augustus Root enrolled in Batavia, Apr 24 1861; on Apr 29, he forme the first military organization in Genesee Co., which became the K Company of the 12th Regiment of the NYSV, Infantry. Their first battle was July 18, 1861, at Bull Run. Lt. Emory Upton was also from Batavia. ~ Linda ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

Smith and the Deadwood Story. Article Text: Originally submitted by: Linda Conpenelis Schmidt A Deadwood Story It is told by Dan Costello, the Old Time Circus Clown There was a little gray haired old man, sitting in the corridor of the Tiffe Hense[sp?] the other day who seemed to be taking a lively interest in what was going on around him. Nobody spoke to him, and he sat alone and unnoticed for he was a complete stranger in the city. He was from Dakota, and it had been nearly a quarter of a century since he had made his home in the east. Years ago he had been a man of wealth and had owned interests in Dakota, mines worth many thousands of dollars, but he now had a very little of that fortune left, and his name was no longer known among the business men of the state where he had lived. He was Dan Costello, the once famous clown, who for several years was in partnership with P.T. Barnum in the show business. Costello was in Deadwood in the old pioneer days, when the town was filled with lawless characters, cowboys, Indian fighters and desperadoes. It was just after he had left Barnum, Wild Bill and a score of other characters whose names have since been prominent in 10 cent blood and thunder literature were there, and Costello knew them all. Sometimes he played poker with them in the Belle o' Union, the old gambling place where they gathered together at night and where several of them were killed. "Going down to the Belle o' Union to see somebody get shot:" was quite a favorite pastime with Deadwood citizens in those days. One of these lawless men whom Costello knew was California Joe, and it was about this man that the ex-clown told an Express reporter an interesting story, which, although it happened 15 years ago, has never crept into print. Here it is: "Well," as Costello told it, "it doesn't make much difference how we mortals die, and it didn't matter much to California Joe, except that he always said he would rather like to quit the world with his boots on. And he did. To begin with, there's an Indian's head, with some of the skin and hair still clinging to it, in the Smithsonian institute in Washington. I don't suppose any of the people at the institute know how that Indian came to be killed, but it happened in a peculiar way. In Deadwood, when I was there, there was a minister hanging about the town and holding street services for the miners. What was his name or to what denomination he belonged I never knew, and I don't suppose there were many who did, but that doesn't matter so far as this story is concerned. One day this minister started out on horseback to ride over to butte mountain. The road he took led around through the hills and then across the plains. It was a very dangerous one, for there were many good places for the Indians, who were thick in the neighborhood, to lay their traps and more than a few of the whites had been waylaid and killed on it. Butte mountain overlooked the plains, and the Indians could see for miles from its summit and watch for travelers. The minister rode slowly through the hills with his gun hanging across his saddle and his Bible bulg! ing out from his coat pocket, and he did not see so much as a sing of an Indian. It was not until he reached the plains and was spurring his horse over the long, straight stretch of road that lay before him that he heard a warwhoop, and suddenly half a dozen Indians rode out from their hiding place. the minister had fighting blood in his veins and he began to shoot right away. He got a bullet in leach leg, and then succeeded in killing one of the Indians. But the Indians got the best of him, and his body was found riddled with bullets. "It happened that California Joe and his partner were on their way from Crook city to Deadwood that day, and it was their misfortune to meet the same band of Indians on the road across the plains. California Joe's partner was killed almost as son as the firing began, and at the same time one of the Indians fell. Joe stood his ground and fired shot after shot in quick succession. Two more of the Indians were killed; and then the rest, taking fright from Joe's good marksmanship, hurried away. Joe then bent over one of the Indians lying in the road. The Indian was dying, and Joe finished the job by cutting off his head. Then he mounted his horse, took the head with him and rode full speed for the town. He rode in through the streets as fast as his horse could go, holding the Indian's head, the blood from which had spattered his saddle, by the hair. The lights were just being lighted in the Belle o'Union, and everybody left the gambling tables to hear Joe's story. "That Indian's head was hung on the wall in Belle o'Union, and it was there for a year or more. Then somebody threw it out on a garbage pile. It lay there all one summer. After the Deadwood fire somebody who took an interest in such relics found it lying out in the yard, and in some way or other it got to the Smithsonian institute. "As I said before, California Joe died with his boots on. It was only a little while after his adventure near Deadwood that he had a falling out with a man near Red Cloud agency. Joe called him a liar, or something of that sort, and the fellow took offense. He hung around trying to get the drop on Joe for a week, and finally he landed him. Joe was coming down the street when the fellow sent a bullet into his back. He is buried out in a lonely spot on the plains, not far from there. Some of his old friends stopped playing poker long enough to go to his funeral, and they chipped together and put a little picket fence around the grave to keep the coyotes away and put up a headstone on which were simply the words, 'California Joe.' " The minister in Costello's story was mentioned in the article on Deadwood in The Illustrated Express. He was the Rev.. Henry W. Smith, the first missionary to the Black Hills. ~ Buffalo Express. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
