Searce any event of conjugal infidelity since the famous Sickles case has caused so much feeling in this community as the case reperted in yesterday's STAR of the guilty affair of young Emerson with Mrs. Knox. It was mentioned in our report that Mrs. Knox telegraphed from Baltimore to Emerson to come on there, to which he replied, “I will if you are in for all night,” and that she answered affirma- tively, upon which he a to Baltimore by the 9o'clock train. It was stated also that it was reported by Emerson's friends that the telegram wassent by, or at the instigation of one Mrs. Patterson, who accompanied Mrs. Knox to Baltimore, and who, it was asserted by Emerson's friends, was in a plot to criminate Emerson with Mrs. Knox. Pi dignantly denie: with sending the telegram, and states that, on the contrary, she positively objected to it, and warned Mrs. Knox of the danger of the course she was pursuing. The following, it is ageePted, are the tacts in the case-—Mrs. Patterson, who was going to Baltimore for a da: » casually invited Mrs Knox fo accompany her. | While in Balti- more Mrs. Knox proposed to send a telegram to *-Clint” (Emerson) to come on. Mrs. Patterson protested against it, and asked Mrs. Knox what she wanted of Emerson; to whieh Mrs. K. an- swered, “That was Aer business.” Mrs. Patter- son warned her (having previously warned her that her husband had detectives on her track) Pot to send the telegram—that she would herself mto difficulty. ‘There was considerable talk about sending the telegram, Capt. Pow- ell and a lady friend being present, and Powell advised Mrs. Knox to be careful what she did, being a married woman. After- wards. when Capt. Powell told Mrs. Patterson that the telegram had been sent, and that Emer- son was coming on, she (Mrs. P.) was very angry. aml asked Powell if he had anything to do with sending the telegram, and that he declared that he had not; (this contradicts a statement made by Mrs. Knox, that Powell sent the telegrams without her knowledge;) that she (Mrs. Patterson) thereupon told Powell she would not stay there to be involved in any di culty, and that if Emerson was coming to Balt mere she meant to return to Washington that night, which she did. rd to this distressing case, it may be t Mrs. Knox returned to Washington yesterday, and is in a state of great excitement and «listrese. She seems to be a woman of little ‘Dalance, giddy and thoughtless.

Emerson had in- formed his assistant, Mr. Kobey, that be was going to New York that night on business with the home office of the insurance company, whose business he was conducting, and had just left the office to visit a gentlemai ou F street when the dispatch arrived. M: Kobey, thinking (as be was in charge) that it was a matter of a pul pature. cvened jt, aud on reading the ¢ontents, burried after Emerson, and giving it to him, Emerson, on peruging it, laughed, say- ing, ** Oh, J guess not; I fm not going there,” &c, &e. The next news he had was informa- tien of what happened in Baltimore, and a visit from Detective McDevitt op ‘Thursday morn- ‘ing. Mr. McDevitt called him down the steps at the corner of iith street and Pennsylvania avenue, and, in speak- ing of the affair, Powell’s name coming up, Robey sa : lige bere comes Powell now,” and advancing, they both met Powell on D street. near - Mr. McDevitt questioned Yowell romewhat, and Mr. Kobey also asked “Why, how is 't Powell 7° Powell. — “What?” Mr. Robey—“Why, that in this morning’s paper.

Attempted Murder. { 4A Dry Goods Peddler Shoots His Mistress—Dan- gerous Condition of the Victim. The residents of the vicinity of 10th and C streets were startied last night, about half past nine o'clock, by the report of two pistol shots in quick succession. It appears that it was an attempt to take life, the victim being a girl of ill-repute, known as Nellie Hill, and the would- be-murderer a man named John Jackson, ® fodder of dry goods. It appears that Jackson as been on terms of intimacy with Nellie Hill, and both have been living together for some time in various houses of ill-fame, but latterly, op account of his harsh conduct towards her, she determined to break off connection with him and go elsewhere to live. Overawed by his threats she continued with him, however, and at his desire moved first from one house to another, stopping at each but a short time on account of the constant quarrels between the parties. This course of hfe she tired of, and yesterday afternoon she secretly forwarded her trunk to the house of Annie Wilson, on 10th street, near C, and was on her way down Iith sreet to her new home when she met the man Jackson. Frightened at his appearance, she started to run, he quickly following her, and when near the corner of iith gpd C streets he overtook her, and with an oath he drew from his side pocket a Smith & Wesson pistol and discharged it twice, one ball going through her arm and the other entering the breast just below the heart. A large crowd soon cfllected, and Jackson was arrested by officer Harrigan ‘and taken to the Central Guardhouse, while police oifi- cer Peaster took charge of the girl. and removed her to the Central Guardhouse also. Drs. Hartigan, Walter, Croghan and Duncan were soon on hand, and made several ineifec- tual attempts to find the ball in the breast. A short while after arriving at the guardhonse she recovered sufficiently to speak, and said that Jackson shot her, but said nothing more about the case. Detective McDevitt asked her if she did not to want a minister, whem she re- quested to see a Catholic priest, and Mr. MeDevitt at once went for Rev. J.'J. Keane, of St. Patrick's Church, who administered re- Uigious comfort to the supposed dying woman, She appeared to revive somewhat aiter that, d about midnight she was conveyed nce Hospital by police offi accompanied by Mather Keane and detec tives McDevitt and Bigley. The doctors express the opinion that tie wound in the breast is dangerous, though not necessarily fatal, but will “depend on the nature of the in- ternal hemorrhage. Jackson states that he did his best to kill the woman, his intention bein, to carry out this thr nd then kill himself. He 1s a short, stoutly-built, brutal looking indi- vidual. He appeared perfectly self-po-sesed and determined, and the murderous attempt was beyond a doubt premeditated. While awaiting the arrival of the physicians the soner, Jack~on, walked over to where the was lying, and roughly asked, ‘* Will she die ? He was handcuffed and placed ina cell at the station-house. ‘Ihis morning the wounded git! is suffering greatly from the pain of her wounds. Later —This afternoon Nellie Hill is in a very etitical condition, and the physicians think her recovery very doubtful. The prisoner has been brought to police headquarters, and will be committed to jail this evening to await the re- suits of the injuries of the woman. |r. Potter, the coroner, bas visited her to-day, and expresses the opinion that she cannot recover. ——_e—__.
