Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tridune, CangoN Orry, Col,, April 26, 1874, The judicial circles of Canon City and coun= try adjeining are quito doeply interosted over o wvery important murder-trial which comes off at tho May term of tho United States District Court, Chief-Justico Mosos Hallett protiding. A notico of the caso has alrendy sppoared in the Denvor pross; but, a8 tho account was faulty in many respects, a brief synopsis of some of the principal points will bo of interest to the roadors of IuE TRIBUNE. In December last, Mr. R. E. Neave, a respected and wenlthy citizen of Wot Mountain Vullo‘f, wus stabbed in his own houso, and foully mirdered, by one Theodore R, Pryco, a protege of Neave, avd & mon wvhom he ha often nesisted in various ways., DBoth mon were Laglisluneny.and vory respectably connccted,— Mr. Nonve, at the timo of his death, being the rospective hoir of & Baronetoy. Pryco had boon 1n {his country but threo months, and bore rathor ahard roputation, both at home and abroad. 1lo bad traveled quito extonaivn]g in Bouth America, wad o bord drinkm"i ond, in his drunken spreos, froquently bonsted of the men ho bad killed. His family, however, are quite well stocked ~with this world's goods ; and, at their solicitation, and with a deo- sire io improvo the future pwspec's of Pryco, Neave kindly offered him homo, and sought to wean him from his former rockloss babits and agsocialions, On the dsy of the murder, both Neave and Ty o had beon driokl g togethor, and th lattor, a8’ Lgunl, becamo intoxicated. “No disputo or other unploasantness was noticed batweeu thom, and tho two men wero apparently on as good termd a8 ever. Theso terms, however, woro nev of the most cordial mnature, ne Noave lad roveral times mauifested o fear of Pryce, and oxpressod a dosire to get rid of him, Tu tho evoning, and while Nenvo was convorsing with somo neighbors who lind dropped in, Pryco got upaud told Neavo that he wanted to seo him at the door o few momonta ; o roquest that was roadily compliod with, What words passed bo- twoen the two men is not known with cortainty ; but, in n vory short timo, Nenve roturned to the oo with Ins handa tightly pressed upon his loft sido. Ile only oxclaimod, ** Well, boys, he has siabbod mo!” and sank upon the floor. The ‘wounded man was ot once placed upona loungo but the knife of the murderer ind ponetrute tho heart, and the victim expired m sbout five mimnuter,’ Pryco was immediatoly arrestod, and placed undor guard ; but he manifested no con-~ corn whatevor, and oxprossed uo regrat for the act he had committed, meroly remarking that he had *killed many s mau, but this was the firat friend.” In thio morning, whon Pryco was led into the room whore the Lody of his victim Iay, and the cloth was drawn . from _the pallid feutures, ho turued upor his hool, and romarked contompituously, ** Why the devil didn’t you close his mouth whilo ho was warm #" Neave wag & universal favorito withall classes ; aud, when tho nows of his sudden nud torriblo taking-off became gonorally known, the oxcite- ment was intonso. ‘Threats of lynohing wero frecly iudulged in ; in fact, & body of men wau ovgniized at Pucblo, the hoadqusriors of the Vigilants, for that purposo; but thoy flnally dishandod whon aseured that DPryco was in cus- tady, and would bo dealt with according to law. The murderer was tnkon to Canon City, the weat of justice of Tremont Qsunty, and lodged ‘in_the oalaboose; and hore Do hos sinco romained. Ae Pryco was kuown to bo & dangerous, dotermined character, and ay it wns foared that an attompt would be made, on tha part of somo outsidors, to reecus him, ho was hieavily ironed hand and foot, while xgunr_d wns placed over tho prisoner, with in- tructions to shoot him doad ab the firsy symptoms of mutiny. During the groator portion of his imprison- ment, Pryco mointained & gloomy reserve; but his montsl suflterings wore ~ great, and nioro than ouco _he told the thut ho would will him all sonrd hln ‘proporty, and estoem it & porsonal favor he- widen, if o would blow his brains out. At lnst Pryco rofused to ent his food, grew sick, com- plainad of his chost and throat, nnd bocamo so emnointed thut the ivons wors takon off, Bioan- while, the friends of Pryco in England had boon notified of tho troatment, and thoy sontin a vigorous protest to tho British Govorninont ; and this protost, togothor with other allogted abusos, wos forwarded to_the Buglsh Minister at Weshington, Sir Edward Thornton, Thorn- ton roferred , tho matter to the Boc- rotary of MStato; tho Beoretary turned ut ouco to Attorney-Ceneral Willinma, sud the lajter, in (urn, forwaided oll tho papers aud doguments to 1. Q. Alleman, Esq., the Unitod Btaton Attorney for tho Torritory and there'the matter will probably reat uutil s doecision ia roachod by the Courts. Tho trial bids fair to be oxoiting and intorost- ll\;(- Tho family and frionds of Noave aroro- solvad to sparo no Inbor or oxpenso to seoure n cunvlntlou and tho vory brltzhlost legal talont i the Torritory will bo enlisted on botl aldos, while tho dofonss will bo nsristed by Mr. Flogg, an ominent barristor fresh from tho onur{{n of Loundon, who has crossed tho big pond, and Ianded at tho baseof tho Rocky Mountaius, forthe oxpross purposo of appearing in this onso. Mr, Flogg is 8 Inwyer of undoubtod nhl]ll{, while o takes a fair, candld view of thoe situnfion, and ia not disposed to roly upon potty quibblos or toch- nicalities; a line of polisy which has raised him qutly in tho estimation of tho old Ilalonnons,—- or, if thero is anything thoy respoat, 1t ia n man who is willing to” give fair Ehy and {ako his chnacos, Flogg doolares that ho only wants - a fair, impartial tafal, without favor or projudica; and, no matter how the dacision turne, e will abido by tho rosult, He Is willing tbat the mur- doror should bo triod near the scone of his erime, and I8 quito indignant also that tho matter has oyor boon brought to the aitention of tho British Govarnment,~ho holdiug that it is n caso ontiraly boyond tho fur!ndlutlnn of that Power. On this basis, and with this protost against in- torferonco ou tho part of Mr. Flogg, itis safo to agsume that the trial willk bo o fair ono; and that ovory extenuating fact and clroumstanco, tonding to mitigato the guilt of the prisoner, will racolvo dua weight. The murdor was o very aggravatod one; thero was absolutoly no provocation whotover ; and yot it noed causo no surpriso if money and oloquonce procure an ac- qulim undor tho spoclous plea of tomporary in- sanity. h tod, soecti DN RARY RSSO s BryMouR, Iud.’,‘{[u 4.—Tho body of little Mary Woston, daughtor of J.

Magglo Mitchell 'openod at MoVickor's Thoatre Inst ovoning in *Jano Eyre" plaving tho titlo rolo. Bhe has beon traveling with MoVioker's compnay for the post two wooks, and tho pleco runs vory smoothly, The play was drama- tizod from Oharlotte Dronte's oxquisito novol Ol tho seme wuil® Ly Mr. Taglaura. It 18 not croditablo to Mr, Taylouro that ho hng beon unablo to rosist tho snobbery of ecroating o Poor by tranaforming tho stmple Afr. .Roches- ter of tho novel into Zord Rochester in the drama, . Wo shall not prosume to givo s synop- slg of tho proco. Those who havo not road tho novel would learn nothing by it, snd theso we hope aro fow in number. . To them wo glve the ndvico : Beo the piace, then read tho origina}, and realizo how muoh is lost in propar- ing it for the atage. In tholimit of an evening's performanco it 8 neceasary to omit many of tho incidents of the story, selecting only thoso whick havo a sharo in the developmont of character ond plot. This should be tho dramatist's aim. “Jano Eyro" was dramatized for but ono per- son—tho star. Consequontly tho situntions aro choson to show her in_the best light. Doubt- less since Maggio - Mitchell - played in it for tho firat time, additions hayo ‘beon mado to hor ]i»lnrt from timo to time until thero is little of anything but Jane Eyre in tho performance. It is tho horoine, and uot the placo, that attracts the audisnce. Thore are soveral very strong situntions in it, for which, of courso, tho brilliant outhoress ~fakes tho credit, but fn a work 0 full of kfe and incident the difi- oully would bse to find s eituation which did not posscas dramatio intorest and in- tonsity. Tho aialogue has been adhered to with fnir accurnoy in adapting, and froquently_eliclts applauso from the audlence. Cold as a Chicago audience i, it cannot be blind to the occasional brilliancy of Jane E){m‘l romarks, It is only Jane Lyre who In brilliant. Tho other charac- tors are mero undovoloped chrysolos, who prob- ably would be brilliant if tho star did not absorb all the omzorlunuy‘ and leave ovory- body olee, including the audience, very dry and thiraty for a drop of it. This is one of ths evils of tho wrotchod star system, and in * Jano Eyro " porhaps it is more apparent than in anv other drama in the atellar repertory. The park of the heroino is by no meansa difficult one to play under tho clrcumstancos. It would bo sheor’ prodigality in & star, whero overything is in her own hands, not to rotain all the kernel and loave only the shell for hor support. So long as tha star systom re- mains wo must expoct to find it dono, ~ We must expoct to ace tho star tho contral figure. Wo only romonstrato against tho contral figure swoll- ing ount to suchi tromondous _gmpart ons a8 to orowd_everybody olse off tho stage, that is all. Miss Mitcholl is an actress of long ox- perionco, and knows all the artificos by which ' part can bo mado iuterosting, Tho rules of shading, contrast of color, and all that wort of thing, sho is mistress of, and henoe . sho atrilcos the attention of an audionco by a situa- tion, This is n necessity with her. The natural disadvantages of voice and olocution, which moke offective reading on her part o sheor impossibility,; domand a substitute in extinneons rosources, Blie is, thorefore, a study of what dramatic offacts, apart from fa- dividunl eapabilitios, can do. Sho dresses with sagacity, and, having command of tho situation a8 3 star, evolves o sudden affoct, This is ofton strained beyond s possibility and very ombar- 1nesing, a8 in tho second not, Jane £yro rotires in disgraco from tho prosence of Alrs. Reed, curtoeying at _overy third stop, and prolong- ing for effcct & scono which _shquld to bo realistic, bo made briof. This is but eno instanch, but a°good one, and oharacteristio of her method, Thoe dofect in her elocution is somotimes disagroeable. It almost scoms as though she knew she had moro than her sharo of the liues, and hurriocd over thom to conconl this inequality from tho audionce, just as a greody schual-bof gobbles down the piece of plo ho has purlolned from his achool-follow's satchel, in ordor to escape dotcotion. This is observable, moreespecinlly in narrative, of which somo i nocesenry to finieh out thoe chain of in- cident in tho piece. The flre sceno in the fourth got is tho best pioco of roal acting on Niss Mitchell's part in the drama. Mr. O'Neil has an unjust coucoption of the part of Toches- ter, Tho ospority of this singular cliar- acter Lo exaggerates into the irrita- bility of & gouty sexngenarian, not tho labitual rudences of a misanthroye. Rochesier {8 & very eccontrio charactor, desorving of closo study. An insight into it ean bo obtained only from Charlotte Brouto, and not from Mr. Tayleuro. 1f Mr. O'Neil has nou studiod it from tho novel wo cordinlly recommend it to him ns worthy of an actor even of his oxalted opportunity and am- bition. In the prerentation of his idenl, wo have nothing to consure, e may give us Zord Rochesler as Mr. Tayleure rogarded him. IHo doos not ghow ue Mr. Rochester as o truor brush than Taylenre's dapicted him, Br Scymour was folicitous, a8 usual, in the part of tho flnnky. In this Jine Mr. Soymour is without any excoption tho beat actor we have had hero for mnnfiyanrs faithiu, studious, andscrupulous. Mr. G. Hollan: desorves ?rnluu, too, for his portrait of Prof. - Btackhorst, especially in the ombarrassing gcena in tho second act to which Wo have alluded, It in gratifying to notice that his elocution i stendily “improving. If ho can ovorcomo tlus singlo natural dofect, Mr, Holland will yot ocoupy & lhigh place in_ the list o{ good Amoricnn nctors. NMiss Marble layed with unueual spirit and effoct, and Mrs. toneall, Mrs, Myers, and tho remainder of tho cast wore iudividually excellent and collectively admirable. HOOLEY'S THEATRE. Mr. Hooloy's wish that tho house would be too amall to acconnimaodate those who attended Mr. Dlasdell's bencfit Inst oyoning wasgratifiod. The wonts wore sl sold lnst weok, and tho standing-room in tho .house wus Inadoquate to tho sccommodation of wall-flowers, The bill, a8 annouuced, consisted of threo picces: * Amoricans in Paris,” * Bishop, Gid- dens, snd the Armory," and concluded with “Robert Emmot,” Tho ssmo bill will bo ro- peated to-night., Mr. Bishop's bouefit will oces Triday. 2 At &:u closa of the comedy, Mr. G, B, l!hslmK astonishod Mr. Baisdell by presonting him witl & magniticent medal, the gift of a fow of his Ohlengo frionds, The address was & nent and appropriate oxprossion of the facling entor- tainod for tho benefloiary by the donors, and his rosponso was as {ino o pioce of oratory ns tho circumstances could warrant, The medal is tho most beautiful specimen of tho jowolors' art aver gotton up in this city.
