I'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MARCLH 27 1882 WCMAN'S WRECK Of a Family That Waa Once Believed to be Happy. A Divorce Case In Denver Which Wil Interest Omaha People in Many Ways. The subjects of the following arti cle are well known in Omaha, Mr. Sperry was for some time in the liv- ery business here, a clerk in the postoffice, a councilman and deputy sheriff.

Drew Mavvracrvring Co., Balti- more, m&elt. Yankton, Dakota, Several additional witnesses were examined, their testi- mony all being to the effect that Mrs. Sperry had lived with Daniel Greg ory as his wife, and had been married to Gregory, the transaction having been, it is alleged, illegal in a double sense and that both had been guilty of other gross iregularities which would hardly fit either for a place very high in the religious o1 social circles in which the woman had Mrs. Willoughby, who came down from Morrison, testified that Gregory and the defendant had formerly roomed at her house, living together as mar and wife. Julius Levy stated that Mrs, Sperry admit- ted that she wes Gregory’s wife when the latter was in jail charged with rape. All stated that she claimed to have been MARRIED TO GREGORY by Justice C. 8. Eyster on the 14th of November, 1880. Stephen B. Hudson’s testimony was similar to his confreres. Detective Joe Arnold re- iated the fact ot the arrest of (iregory when he found them together on Chatham street occupying tho same apartment. In reference to the pri- vate character of Mrs. Sperry the wit- ness states that she was a complete wreck mentally, physically and mor- slly, and had been living in a tent with Gregory somewhere in the sub- urbs of the city. Witnesses stated that she drank continually and to the most frightful excess; that her asso- ciates were the lowest of the low, and that from being the happy and loved wife of a prosperous and influ- ential man she had sunk to the slums where the street had almost become her home and the gutter her bed, all through her own infatuation and fool- hardiness. She told one of the witnesses that she had tried Sperry for twenty years, and was now determined to stand by Gregory. After the c(xamination a Tribune reporter met a former friend of Mrs, Sperry’s, who knew all about her life and waywardness. The story of her life READS LIKE A ROMANCE, or a page torn from a story of the slums of New York or Paris, and teaches nothing if it does not teach the fatality of the cup which a woman puts to her lips when she turns aside trom the path of duty and turns from the calm but happy light of home to the forbidden fruit which hangs on eitherside, Twenty-eight years ago, on the st day of October, 1845, at Nushau, New Hampshire, Angelina C. Sperry, was married to her present husband, who is now applying for a divorce. It was a notable event in the little village when Angie Fuller was mar- ried to Charles C. Sperry, the promi- nent Boston merchant, Sperry had a branch store in Nashua, and there he met Miss Miller. She was young and pretty then and a favorite in the little town. Sperry was burnt out twice in Boston, and in a day when fires were not so profitable as they are now. He took his family west to Omaha, where he took a position as money order clerk in the postoftice, and soon began to retrieve his for- tune, His wife was a leader in HER OWN S0CIAL CIRCLE then, every Sunday she occupied her pew at Trinity church and no one would have guossed the sad denoue- ment which Las since brought her to a hovel ana a nameless relationship with an unworthy man, Bperry again engaged in merchan- dizing, made money, and was finally appomted Indian agent and post sut- lor at Yankton, Dakota. Here his wife met and became infatuated with his clerk, Daniel Gregory, a cummon looking fellow whose occupation ever sinco has never been above the grade of the most common laborer, and ran away with him, coming by way of Omuba and Kansas City to Denver. The couple arrived here two years ago in June, and have been here ever since. From HERE THE STORY HASTES rapidly to her downfall and degrada- tions and is given as nearly as possible in the relator’s own language: “Before Mrs. Sherry left Yankton sho ordered over $1,200 worth of dresses and tine underclothes and had them charged to her husband. But 80 improvident were they about money matters that she had to pawn her watch in KansasCity to get money to pay George's fare to Denver. On her arrival here her sister paid her extra freight on her \urguge. and she went to tfiu house with “Dan” and that inevitable dog Prince, witl onco moved, sore leg, which is always with her,’ ““What were her habits here!” “She laid drunk on the floor from morning until night beside the dog, and Gregory was not much better, The most horrible things are related of both of them, The woman would GO OUT TO THE SALOON about 10 o'clock at night and get more whisky, aud she and Gregory would lay around the room from morning until night. The couple moved rap- idly from place to place. They had rooms for a time on Cham street, they boarded with her sister, they boarded at the Taney house, and at i X icines i TRNIS FOR RENT—S. W. Cor. the Williama house, and I don't know SMITH ON DECK. medicines ia the room had destroyed Death of an Old Cttizen, T ?&L’.‘:fi'fi‘&fi:‘& or how many other places, Gregory drove a Herdic coach for a while, and for a time was employed to drive a street sprinkler. In fact he did any little odd job he could lay his hand to. Finally this other trouble came, and Gregory was arrested for rape. In the expose of their private relations which followed, Mrs. Sperry thought it would be better to get mar- ried to Gregory. Now comes the pe. culiar part of the affair ~ They went before C. S. Eyster, then and now an ex-justice of the peace, with their at torney, a prominent young member of the Denver bar, and the justice mar- ried () them on the DAY HE WENT OUT OF OFFICE, “In regard to this matter and other things connected with it,” continued the Tribune intormant, ‘T can prom- ise you some sensationa' developments before many days. Things occurred about that fime which would stir up the indignition of every respectable person in Denver if they were pub- lished.’ “‘Where is Gregory and the woman now?” *‘Mrs. Sperry is living in a room in a little hovel at 3L goulh Twelith street. I saw her on the street to- day, a wreck of her former self. Gregory is working on Dexter’s ranch, about three miles from the city; a8 a common ‘deck hand,’ turn- ing his attention to cow punching or digging post holes, whichever comes most convenient, The couple lived in a tent on the ranch for a while, but I expect they thought they had better separate, pending the trial of this suit.” “‘What kind of a looking man is Gregory?”’ ‘“‘He is a tall, ungainly man, with red side whiskers and a long neck. He dresses coarsely in overalls, and I do not see how any woman could ever admire him —especially Mrs. Sperry, whose husband was a very fine look- ing and genteel man,” HER DEFENSE. “‘Mrs. Sperry herself,” the relator continued, ‘‘told me that si'e did not care anything for Gregory, but wanted to use him. She expects to prosecute her husband for selling liquor to*the Indians on the reserva- tion, a penal offense She claims that she left because her husband was guilty of improper irregularities with his neice, Georgie Sperry. Georgie has since, however, been married to their son Harry, who is now Indian agent in his tro‘her's place, as the law provides that only men of family may hold that position. ~When Mrs. Sperry heard of this marriage she called the curses of high heaven upon her husband, who had thus covered up his shame, she claimed, in his son’s dishonor. ———— REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Preparations for the Forthcoming City Election. A convention of the republicans of the ily of Omaha will be held at the court house in said city on Saturday evening, April 1, 1882, at 7:30 o'clock for the purpose of nominating a ticket for the ensuing city election and for the transaction of such other businees as may properly come before the con- vention, Each ward will be entitled to seven delegates. Primary elections will be held in the several wards on Friday, March 31, 1882, from b to 7 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of nominating a council- man for the ward and for the election of delegates. The primaries will be held as fol- lows: First ward, at Guild’s store, No. 816 Tenth street. Second ward, at Wallanz Hall, 1320 Leavenworth street. Third ward, at Dr. Hyde's office, Douglas and Twelfch streets, Fourth ward, at court house. Fifth ward, at corner of fornia and Sixteenth streets. Sixth ward, at No. 1 engine house. By order of city central committee. Onas. K. Cousan:, Chairman pro tem. L. H, WEBsTER, Seerctary. Cali- Mexican bonds were quoted at the unprecedented high price of 49 cents on the dollar by t%le Chicago Times of March 4th. As these securities draw 7 per cent, this will bring them more into public favor than they were dur- ing the recent strife in Mexico. m-e-23-8t STILL THEY COME. A Royal Drv Goods Palace Opened Up To-Day. It does not look as if the recent strike had frightened capital away very far from Omaha, but rather us if it demonstrated that the Omaha citi- zens insisted on being paid enough to be able to dress well, as well as to keep the wolf from their doors. This is suggested by the fact that one of the neatest aud most complete stocks of goods to be found in the city was Saturday opened at No. 1307 Farnam street, Henry Dohle's old stand, by couple of well known Chicago dry goods men, Messrs.” Garrabrant and Cole. These gentlemen own a larg- dry g ods essablish- mwent in Chicago, and are now openiug up a branch house in Omaha, under the direct supervision of Mr, Cole. They have loased the entire building, one of the best in I'he Wheeler & Wilton Agent on His Way to Omahs. Something New Apout the Robbery Racket, and Another Side to the Embezzlement Story. Sidney Smith, the runaway general agent of the Wheeler & Wilson sew- ing machine company. is by this time on his way to Omaha from Little Rock, Ark., where he was arrested on a telegraphic request last week. Dep- uty Sheriff Crowell went after Smith on Friday, and, it 18 expeoted, will re- turn with him this evening. The statement in Tue Bee that Smith was acting as the agent of the company in that city was partly incorrect, owing to the mistake in the dispatch sent from Little Rock, Smith was en- goged in the sale of Wheeler & Wil- son machines, but as a canvasser for the agent, whese name is Robbins. It appears that the company have been cognizant of Smith’s wherea- bouts for some time, but have contin- ued to watch himn until some facts could be arrived at which would es- tablish a case on the charge of embez- zement. The amount for which Swith is claimed to be a defaulter is not known, nor can it be until the ac- cused man produces the books which have been missing since his depart- ure, These books will enable the company to learn their exact loss, Among the causes for Smith’s defi- cit is the robbery, which he claimed to have suffered about five weeks pre- vious to his departure. At the time th’s robbery was alleged to have been committed, some doubts existed con- cerning the actual occurrence, but af- ter developments show that Smith was doubtless victimized to the tune of two or three hundred dollars. He was known to have drawn $500 from the bank in the afternoon for the purpose of paying for certain fur- niture and carpets which he had put into the new office rooms in the opera house block. Instead of paying the bills mentioned, however, his evil genus, whisky, got the better of him and by night he was wandering around in the neighborhood of the dives on Tenth street, between Doug- las and Dodge streets. He was in- veigled into one of the dives, where a notorious colored woman known as “Slick Sal” hangs out. How long he was there it is not known, but the city agent of the company states that Smith came to the office about 2 o’clock in the morning and said that he had been robbed. Al- though at first not definite as to where he had been ‘‘touched” at length his head cleared enough to enable him to remember where he had been. He then alleged that this ‘‘Slick Sal” had invited him into her place and had given him something to drink, after Central block, and have got it in bet- ter shape than it ever was before, They have been for two weeks filling the three stories with their goods, wnd on the first floor, where the dis- play is made, they show a magnificent lot of goods of the best quality and the most unquestionable beauty. They have all the new styles in silks, moires and foulards, and a very large supply of fane goods and novelties of all kindly. Spacious as is their room it is crowded with the rich and exquisite goods and there is still much more to come, They usened Saturday for the first time and invite the pubfio to come and imf)uct their goods, n a few days they will make stall further improvements in their quar- ters, as they have a new elevator on its way from Chicago, and will make access to the second and the third floors easy. 'We wish the new firm all lupog:n, and they will undoubtedly win it. which she told him to lie down on the couch and go to sleep. He did so and, while asleep, was faintly con- scious of somebody’s going through him, but was unable to move or pre- vent them. After awhile he aroused himself and wert out and steered for the office. While on the way he found that all of his money except $50 had been taken, but he had torzottem where he had been. When he finally recovered his mind he insisted that he had been dosed and the money taken from him by the negrowomen referred to. One of Smith’s friends investizated the matter as thcroughly as he could on the following day, and discovered that the negro woman had skipped out, but where she had gone no one would tell. It was afterwards dis- covered that she had gone to Sioux City with a negro gambler who was her “solid man,” and that they t>- gether had spent most of the money there. | This unfortunate affair is stated by an employe of the oftice to have made Smith very despondent and he seemed to have entirely lost his grip. The affairs of the ofice went haphazard and three weeks slipped along without Smith’s wmaking a report. The result of this was the change of agents. Smith’s after disappearance has been pub-|b; lished heretofore, and the particulars of it are familiar to Tue Bex readers. It is expected that when Smith is ex- amined he may have some inter- esting statements to make cencerning other parties who were in the ofice under him some time ago. The general opinion of those who know the arrested man best is that he did not intend to de- fraud the company, but that when he was ‘‘touched” he tried to make it up by extra sales, and then, being re- | moved, resolved to skip out und take the books with him, in order to leave the aflair clouded as much as possible. BURGLARS MAKE A HAUL. The Residence of John Little, the Grocer, Robbed of $250. Valuable Gold Watch, Jewelry and Money Taken. A well executed burglary was com- mitted Saturday night upon the house of John Little, the grocer, on South Nineteenth street, A gold watch of valuable workmanship and highly prized because of its associations, two gold breastpins, a pair of heavy gold sleeve buttons and about $50 in cash were stolen. The entrance to the house was effected through a front bay window, which was left unfastened, so that the burglars easily pushed it up. The hour of the burglary is put by Mr. Little at about 4 o'clock, as he had been up about every hour previous to that time to attend to one of his child- ven who was ill. When he finally sank to sleep it was to slumber very soundly, and the family did not awaken until late in the morning. Whether chloroform had been used or not he was unable to tell, as the odor of the possibility of detecting it. “‘::n Mr,yLi(fln heunngm dress he discovered first the loss of his pocket hook, in which he had «bout 850, He then missed his wateh. It had been in his vest, which kung over she bed. The watch chain had been cut and a part of it was still attached to the vest. Further investigation re- vealed the loss of two fine gold breast pius belonging to Mrs. Little and her husband's heavy gold sleeve buttons. One of the bresst pins had an ame- thyst stone and the sleeve buttons also contained amethyst. The burg- lars had left no tracks or other evi- dences which might lead to their de- tection, and the only way in which to catch the thieves will be through the stolen property. Oflicers are working up the case. THE UNION S8PY. The Operiug Nightof the Grand Military Drama. Other Dramatic Events Near at Hand On Saturday evening the final re~ hearsal of the grand military and spectacular drama, the Union Spy, which will be presented for the first time this evening at Boyd's opera house, took place in that temple of Thespis with most satisfactory results. This drama has been in course of | _ preparation for several weeks, under the supervision of Colonel E. B, Tem- ple, the auther, and is produced under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic for the benefit of the widows’ and orphans’ relief fund The caste has been well and carefully chosen ard the training thorough and constant. The consequence is that the rehearsal 1tself waa a splendid entertainment, and with all the stage accessories, sceuic effects and tableaux which will be added at the regular peformance to-night it will be one of the most ex- citing and thrilling plays ever seen in Omaha. Col. Temple has done some splene did work for the boys of Custer post, and it cannot but result in a great suc- cess financially. The appearance of a battallion of regulars in the flag pres- entation scene, the battle scene and the scene in the Andersonville prison pen, will each call forth the heartiest admiration, and the tableaux and battle in which the mimic gun-boats appear and shell the woods are most effective. Col. Temple is himself an actor of rare ability, and he will be well sup- ported in all the parts. The securing of special low rates on all the railroads leading into the city will secure the attendancc of a large number of visitors from abroad, and the entertainments of Monday, "I'ues- day and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinees will be all too few to accommodate the crowds who will desire to see ‘‘The Union Spy.” M'LISS, Following *‘The Union Spy,” on Thursday evening the favorite actress, Anuie Pixley, appear at Boyd’s in ““M’liss or the Child of the Sierras.” “We have herstofore recorded our conviction of this gifted actress and pretty woman. In her line she is nonpareil, combining the frolic and chic of Lotta with the archness of Charlotte Thompson. We know no actress who could combine so much as does Miss Pixley, and we are sure our public will welcome her appear- ance here on next Thursday night.” TOM KBENE. On Friday and Saturday evening and in matinee Saturday afternoon, this great tragedian will appear at Boyd's, playing Macbeth, Richelieu, aud Fool's Revenge. An exchange says: “‘Keene's conception of the ambi- tious Macbeth, like everything else that Mr. Keene does, is full of strik- 1ng originalities. The Thane of Caw- dor as presented by the tragedian, is a man of singular nobility, goaded on to unnatural deeds of blood by his lust for ambition, but with a moral weakness which palsies his purpose. Macbeth, when he has gained the throne, is tortured by the memories of his crime. The portrayal of the conflicting emotions of the character Mr. Keene is.said to be the acme of stage art. In the final scene of the lay, & prominent critic says, ‘Mr. {eene's Macbeth is the incarnation of despair. Like a lion driven into a cover, he turns upon his persccutors, fights with terrible energy, and dies most effsctively.” The patrons of the Shakspérian drama have a rich treat in store for them, A company of universal excellence supports Mr. Keene this season.” HAZEL KIRKE. The great dramatic success *‘Hazel Kirke,” will be given at Boyd’s opera L w8y, Monday and Tuesday, April Sd and dth, Mr, R S. Wires, busi a8 manager of the Madison Square ‘ Hazel Kirke' company, is iu the city, making the necessary arrange- Wents, - Economy.
