SHE CHARGES HIM WITH ARSON A5D MUR DER BESIDES HAVING LED HER AWAY FROM HER BCSBA5D AND DESERTED HIS OWJ WIFE AND CHILDREN HE CALLS HER A GRADUATE OF THE OHIO STATE PRISON. In the Sentinel of Sunday morning there appeared, by telegraph a statement ol the terrible charge of arson and murder, brought against one William Garbrick, in one of tbe Chica&p courts. The Tribune furnishes the following details, with the handsome housekeeper's melancholy story: In the early fall of 1S65 Mr. Sterrett, a con- doctor on one of the Ohio railroads, wooed and won a beautiful girl of sixteen sumrrers, a native of the fair city of Cleveland. She was beautiful "as a poet's dream," and was as innocent as a child. Sterrett loved his young wile devotedly, but, being several years her senior, ' could not under stand the feelings of a mere girl, and applied himself occasionally to the flowing bowl. Brakeing on the same train which 'he ran was a person of Pennsylvania Dutch" blood, William II. Garbrick by name. This man had a wife and four children, and kept a boarding-house. lie was, at the period of Sterrett's marriage, about 40 years of age. The Giriiricks kept a boarding-bouse, and Sierrett'a finaccs not being over extensive, he and bis young bride went to board with the brakeman's family. The conductor drank a little too freely, and theuarbneks tor some reason poisoned the child-wif6's mind aga!nst ter lord. Aller residing with them lor eome months, the Garbricks, man and wife, induced her to leave Cincinnati, where they were then living, and fly with them to a country place ten miles distant from that city. Mrs. Gar- brick went so iar aa to dress the girl up in her own clothes, bo as to destroy ail trace of her whereabouts. She never saw ster rett more. What the object of the female Garbrick was can not be surmised, but, whatever It may have oeen, sne paid ueariy for it. Six weeks after their removal to the country. Garbrick, who pretended to be afraid thafi Sterrett would discover them, in duced tbe eirl to fly with him to Chicago. Here they remained lor a short time, and then went to Raymond, Miss. Meanwhile, the unhappy Mrs. sterrett found herself to be enceinte, by her nusDana sne avers, ana in due time, BORE A DAUGHTER, who is still living. After remaining South about one year, she returned with Garbrick to Chicago a He secured work at the new Northwestern Railroad shops and got house from the company. This house is sit uated near the corner of West Kinzie and Forty-fourth streets. There Mrs. Sterrett lived with him as his housekeeper lor some years, and it was generally supposed they were man and wifo. although a more strik ing physical contract could not be imagined Hut ot tms more ny ana by. in June, 1374 the 7th of that month, during a night of tremendous rain, wind and thunder, the dwelling honse of Jerome ti. Davis a watchman, employed at the new shops also, was burned to the ground, and his pretty little daughter, Carrie, .perished mis erably in the flames. The house was situ ated almost immediately opposite that oc cupied by Oarbrick and his housekeeper The general Impression at that time was that the place iras destroyed by firs caused bv a ligbtnlne stroke. A justice or the inoet tasteful KtvlP- not hi about her, but everything, trom boots and Kiuves. in goou taste and In tbe latest fash ion. Everybody was astonished to think that such a woman mnM rmcsihiTT umn the victim of soch a man. The only expla nation Is that she wa a mere child when Garbrick debauched her, and fer has been me agency toac so long restrained her from breaking away from his grasp. At least her side of the story goes to show as much. Mr. Lancress. the friend of Nfrs Sforrptr stated to a Tribune reporter that Garbrick uas oeen in tne habit of annoying her hus band, because they befriended the house keeper, when 6he broke awav from bim. He advertised for eroeerv clerks at 100 rr month, and for 100 teamsters to call at No. II West KinZie Street, anil find em. ployment tbexs. Mre. LaDgress found herself besieged one fine morning and did not know what it meant. Fi nally ehe discovered that it was a nrartinsi joae peroetrated by the man Garbrick.'l "uviu oud ud3.tiiou as oeinc a 0001. npiina ate villain. Mrs. Sterrett is eoinir into bu. ness keeping a restaurant at Turner June. tion in order to BUDDort herself and child. She stated that Garbrick has had men watching her since she left hi m ard that. she was afraid he would kill her if v. r. mained at large. She now hates fcim Ht- teny, mat sne does not deny, bfrausa he took advantage of her untuspecticg youth to destroy her repatation and e-ftracge her from her husband. The laU?r. Garbrkk in- lormed b.6r not lone aco. atmrted to find her everywhere but faiied; took to drinking worse than ever and was. nt last, not more than a month ago, killed in a collision. Cer horror of Garbrick has materially Increased since his alleged crime, and she now looks upon mm as .a penect demon. Too Jcl.cw- ng is MRS. 8TERRETT'S TESTIMOXT.

AN OHIO MAX ECILDS A FXCE 16 FEET HIGH IT WAS HIS OXLY RESORT TO PROTECT HIS WIFE FROM A WICKED FREIGHT CONDCO TOR. The Cincinnati Commercial is authority ior the following: He lives In anicelittlo town in this ttate, not many miles away from this city, to tbe north of it, on tbe lino of a flourishing railroad. We don't care to band bi9 name orer to the press.' But Li name is very well known in connection wM2r the incident we are about to narrate, to the people generally of the town in wbicb be lives. He came down to this city one day, and called on the superintendent ol the railroad tbat runs tbrungb his town. He introduced himsell in a mild, incflensive sort of a way, and banded the superintendent a document. The superin tendent read it. It related that tbe bearer was a citizen cf M in good standing, a man of veracity ; tbat any statement be might make could saiely be taken for tbe truth. It was signed by several prominent cit5zns of M , 6ome of whom were nor- sonally known to the superintendent. Then a ronversation came about, in substarce 3 follows: Superintendent Very well, sir. Now what can 1 do for you? What statement bave you to make? Citizen I am a resident of M . ?Jy property, where I reside, where my darling wifo lives wUh me, abuts on your railroad. There i? a freight conductor in your employ named A . Ou one , occa&ion, when his train was slowly passing my place, this man's eye caught my wife's eye. He bowed, anl the was injudicious enough to retain the salutation. As be passed tbe bouso fre quently on Li9 tram tnis man continued to bow to my wife; and the darling girl, little thinking ol the trouble that was to cozno. continued, injudiciously, to return his salu tations. At last, sir, emboldened by bis suc cess in recsivicg recognition from ray vrie, tbis man dropped her a note. She was fool ish enough I regret to admit it, sir she was foolish enough to pick it up, I need not detain you with a long story of tbe events that led to the finale. The monster accomplished HIS HELLISH DESIGN. He seduced my wife. Do you remember tbe time when he received a week's leave of absence? Superintendent Ah , yes. Citizen He Isd ber astray then. They met on the commons when I happened tobe sway. It came to my ears in such a way tbat I could cot treat it lightly. I accused my poor, dear wile. She admitted her guilt, with tears, and beprged my forgiveness. J could riot withhold it, for I love her, sir. I then went to the man who had thus ruth lessly stabbed my happiness. Superintendent And what did he sav 7 vinzeu v en, tut, no saiu, wnat are yon going to do about it?" Superintendent And what did you tell him? Citizen That I should apply toyontr bave bim discharged. And that is wbat 1 bave called on you to-day for. Superintendent My dear sir, I regret ex ceedingly the mislortune tbat has happened to you. xou may nave Deen cruelly wronged in this matter, but I can not inter fere. Tbis conductor attends promptly to his duties. It would be a mistake lor me to interfere in this matter. I can not possibly undertake to attend to the morals of a thou sand men, more or less. It is a very difficult thing to lay out a curriculum of morals. Tbe has a mean look, but I can get evidence that learned gentlemen who are the prindpala oi win snow ner wora isn't worth much. I m vi puuuc kcnwi syem oi uns et ain't going to say what it is now.

Reporter But she makes a detailed state ment of your confession to her. Garbrick It is all- false. I never made any. Reporter She says that you woke ber up when the house was on fire and told her about it. Garbrick It Is not so; nothing of tbe kind ever happened. Reporter Was there any bad blood be tween you and Mr. Davis? C;tizen Then you refuse to discharge this man? Suoerintfrtlent I must refuse kindly but iiriniy, I must refuse. Citizen Then I shall take my own courses Superintendent Of course, Thatii JOTS right. Citizen Yes. I'll build a fence tbere that'll stop him alter tbis!
