THREE CELEBRITIES
Connected with the Kent, Staunton and
Bravo Murders.
The last English mails contain announte-
merits of the deaths of three persons inti-
mately connected with the three most
sensational crimes that have agitated
London during the last twenty years.
Ex -Inspector Jonathan Whicher, who
died at the age of 77, was one
of the first staff of detectives organ-
ized in London in 1843. It was he who
in 1860 arrested Constance Emile Kent
for the murder of her infant stepbrother,
finding the absence of her , nightgown
suspicious and insisting that she had taken
it from the wash -basket while she had sent
the maid who was carrying it for a glass of
• water. The girl was set at liberty, and
Whicher shared with her father the
popular opprobrium of the hour; indeed
his dismissal was urged in the Commons,
but the Home Secretary stood by him, and
when three years later he retired it was
with full rank and pension. Whicher was
subsequently sent to Russia to reorganize
the detective force, and figured in the early
stages of the Tichborne, case In 1865,
Constance Kent, who had --joined an
Anglican siaterhood, confessed her crime and
justified Whicher's theory; she was 'con-
demned to death on her confession, but we
believe released on D r. Bucknill's report that
she would go mad in confinement, though if
Dr. Bucknil had communicated to the
authorities the facts, indicating motive and
long preparatioe, which recently he revealed
in his Ltimleian lecture, sheavould probably
have been executed. It is noteworthy that
the "popular element" never accepted Miss
Kentle confession, butinsisted that she had
been tortured into insanity by the
Ritualists, or else that she had confessed
to save her father The second death was
that ef Patrick Llewellyn Staunton, who
with his wife; his brother • Louis and Alice
Rhodes were sentenced to death in 1877
for starving Louis' wife to death. The
verdict wits returned at li o'clook of a cold
and foggy night, but the adjacent streets
were crowded and it was hailea with
triumphant yells, while Mr. Justice
Hawkins in passing sentence called the
prisoners' :offence a' a crime eta dark and
hideous that in all the records of crime it
would be .difficult to find its parallel."

A WOMAN'S TONGUE
Causes a Terrible Tragedy in Detroit—
A. Dispute About a 'Flower Pot
Results in Murder.
Two families named respectively Drul-
shagen and Reagan occupy together a tene-
ment house, 114 Lafayette street, Detroit.
A difficulty arose a few days ago between
the families about a flower pot, which was
finally secured by the Reagans. The
womeu met on Tuesday night, exchanged
many uncomplimentary epithets, but
neither offered physical violence to her
adversary. When Drulshagen returned
from a neighboring saloon he learned of the
terms in which Mrs. Reagan had addressed
Mrs. Drulshagen, and seizing a revolver he
ran downstairs swearing vengeance: He
found the Reaga,n's door lecked, but he
burst it open and fired atMettgans The
bullet pierced his breast, inflicting& serious
wound. Drulshagen then started upstairs
flourishing his revolver and threatened to
shoot any man that came near him. A young
man named McCormick an up- stairs, and
saying, "You won't shoot me," grappled
with him. A scuffle ensued in which Mc-
