CLOSE OF THE WOODMAN CASE IN NEW YORK. A Tale of Romance. The ease of Mrs. Carrie Woodman, who was attempting to regain her liberty from a private lunatic asylum, by the aid of a habeas corpus, procured by Gardner Furniss, was again before the Sapreme Court of New York on Thursday. Mrs. W. was placed in the institution by her husband, who lives in New Orleans, because of her being under the influence of Furniss to an extraordinary degree; and the affidavit of Mrs. W. confirms this fact, by the development of perhaps the most singular state of affairs ever made public in a court of law. The following are some extracts from the affidavit: Iwas married to Oliver 0. Woodman about ten years since. In July, 1854, my husband took me to Europe on account of my health. I had been suffering a long time from a disease of the nervous system. bn the 2d of November he left me in Paris, under charge of a family of ® mutual friend, that I might have the benefit of the most skilful medical advisers. For the first two months [ was well enough to go out. Daring this time I formed the acquaintance of Mr. Gardner Furnise, whose mother and elder brother I had known in America. From early in ——— to July, when my husbaw@ returned to Paris, I was confined to my rooms a large part of the time by severo illness. My attend- ing physicians were Dr. L’Fan, Sir J. Oliver, Dr. Dubois, and others. varie April and May wy life was despaired of, and my friends so wrote to Mr. Woodman. I have often since wished I could have died at that time. Daring my illness Mr. Furniss was extreme- ly kind and attentive to me, and gained my perfect confidence. His influence over me was like a strange infatuation. I loaned him money freely when I had it, some of which he paid back. [I have no knowledge of the amount. But about the time I returned to America, he informed me that be owed me about sixteen hundred dvilars, and told me to say nothin about it, that he expected to be rich, and woul Ry, me back double the amount. At that timo thought nothing of it, and did not eare what he had had Abémt November, 1555, I left New York for the South, and went for a time to the house of my father.in Mississippi. While there I cor- responded with said Gardner Furniss at b: urgent request. By means of my letters an otherwise, he had it then in his power to ruin may reputation, and, as he supposed. cause me to be discarded by my husband. In January, 1556, after I had returned to New Orleans and settled there for the winter, said Furniss ar- rived in New Orleans. The next day after his arrival he xeked mes for some money. I had then only $50, which I gave him. He was not satisfied with that. The next day I obtained and gave him $150 more. He urged me to get a divorce from my husband and then marry him. Stated that he had had a lawyer to ex- amine the laws of Louisiana, and that if I could obtain a divorce I would be entitled to one-half of my husband's estate in Louisiana. aod thus I could obtain by that means from fifty to seventy-five thousand dollars; that if I did not create some difficulty and obtain a di- yorce, he would expose my letters to my hus- band, and that there were expressions in them that would induce my husband to apply for a divorce, whieh would race ine. He after- wards called on me re ly for more money, and upon my refusing to give it him he threat- ened to show Mr. Woodman the letters which 1 had written him, and also a portrait of me which he had. He told me the letters which I had written him wou!d cause Mr. Woodman te discard me, and that he, Mr Furniss, would disgrace and ruin me, unless I let him have all the money I could get. I had, during that period, an allowance, from my husband. of $100 per month, all of whieh I gave Mr. Furniss; with that he got along until the latter part of April. About the 25th of April he called on me for money to pay his board bill. which, he said. was about $250. I had no money, and told him so; upon which he not only threat- ened me, but actualiy beat me with violence— broke open my wardrobe, and took away my jewelry and some valuable laces, someof which he dropped ia the entry as he was carrying them away, and again threatened to disgrace me and to send my letters to Mr. Woodman. At one time, while in New York, he took from me a valuable diamond cross, worth $500 or $500. and wid me he bad lost it. Heputan advertisement in the Herald for it; this he afterwards returned. During the sama autumn. 1856, at the New York Hotel, I bad $35. which I had laid apart to pay bill of Mrs. Dieden. dressmaker, for $52. This money was in a trunk which was standing open. No one was in the room but Mr. Vurniss and myself. When my girl Jane came in directly, I told her to take the money and go and pay Mrs. Dieden’s bill. She looked for ifs money, but it was gone, and could not be found. Furniss afterwards acknowleged to in@ that he took $5 of it. and laughed. About the same time Mr. Woodman gave me the moncy to psy for same small articles of furniture which I had o:dered. Furniss took away most of this money—all but $25—and I was obliged to make some exeuse for not tak- ing the articles to the people from whom I had bought them. Last winter said Furniss went to New Or- leans again. A few days after his arrival he came tome and asked me to give him 3100. which I did, and afterwards I gave him all my allowance, say $100 a month. During that winter he persecuted me constantly with threats and exactions. When [ was going to a ball in the evening, he would come into the room and take my jewelry and putitinto his pocket, and Tefused to let me have it to wear unless I gave him money, telling me that if I went without it Mr. Woodman would insist upon knowing «where it was gone—so I would raise every ef- turt to raise moncy for him—and sell every thing in my power—my dresses, rich embroide- ries—one pleee of embroidery which I sold to Miss —— cost over two hundred doilare; most of the articles I suld to ladies of my acquaint- suce; made excuses about my health—about going baek to Paris. de. I sold most of my very handsome handkerchiefs; some of them costing $5 o- $3) apiece—my velvet mantilla— my lace tlounces—a great deal of expensive lace, some two yards wide, some three yards— two very preity lace bonnets which I brought from Paria. In short. I could not keep jew- elry or any thing valuable in my room. I gave my jewelry box to Mr. Woodman, and re- quested him to place the same in bank, pre- tending to him that I was afraid it might be stwlen, but in fact, to keep it from Mr. Furniss, to whom I told that Mr. Woodman had. taken my jewelry from me. A!! the most valuabie Jewelry that [ have left, still remains in bauk at New Orleans “ Oa Saterday, 15th of August, I arrived io New York from Boston. by the Fall River boat, with my nephew, a sono: Mrs. Hazard’s; the boat having run iato a propeller, we arrived very late. [ was greatly fatigued, nervous and excited. Mr. Pike gave me 4 room ig ast L took breakfast in the room; Mr. Furnteseaticd. but soon left. { sent my nephew down to Mr. Merrick, to see if be had any news of Mr. Woodman, as I had not heard from hin for gome time, avd I did not know that he had arrived in New York. I had been expecting him to come North for several weeks, and was very desirvus to know where he was. It after- wards appeared that Mr. Woodman had ar- rived at New York on Thursday evening pre- view, and sent my brother to ton for me, Lat be missed me. Mr. Woodman having dis- eovered, just before leaving New Orleans, some- thing of my affair with Mr. Purniss, had re- freined from writing to mo. After Olly had gone some one knocked at the door. I had partiy andressed—thought it was Olly come back ; found it was Mr. Furniss; he pushed in; said now he wanted to have an un- derstanding with me; ssid that I must give him $2,500; that if L would do so, and woald sontradict whatever Mr. Hazard might say, RESP ASSL en RSS CO NTR NARS AS SORIA NORE Eben + See een. wg Star ~eeeetancnacmmmme its eae + VOL. X. 4&c.. he would leave me alone, and never trouble me any more. I told him I could not; that I had no means of getting it. Then he began to abuse me, knocked me across the room; said he would kill me; choked me so hard as to make me biack in the face; threw me on the bed and up against the wall so violently as al- most to make me senseless, and so that he him- self was alarmed, and threw a pitcher of water on me to bring me to. Then he pulled off his clothes, and I screamed, and just then some one knocked at the door. I went to the door. and found it was Mr. Woodman, who had come up. During the above. interview Furniss ur, me to get the money by making out false bills, and getting the money from Mr. Woodman, or by taking jewelry. “Also, he insisted that he knew my father had given me $2,500 to buy diamonds or silver, and he was determined to have it. When he found he could not get the moncy he used violence as I have stated. He sajd, ‘- Your husband apy dss brother are com- ing here; there'll be a fuss; and I mean to ruin you first, and put you in the gutter, where I shall be. I hate you, and I hate ail your family, because you won't behave to me as you should.”’ Mrs. W., in herstatement, relatosmany other similar sceues between Furniss and herself, and says he attempted to make ber forge her hus- band’s name to drafts. A number of notes which passed between the parties, are pablish- ed, and among them this one from Furniss to Mrs. W.: ‘Madam: Mr. G. has not only sent a bill, but a request to be paid, otherwise I should not have disturbed your Iadyship’s slumbers. “ T now renounce all acquaintance with you. aud insist upon a return of everything. ILknew all along that your selfishness and fondness for dress more than counterbalanced any feelings for me, but I did not know that any one could, rte to even like another, to act as you ave. “Damn you—curse you—imay you zerer be but unhappy! Send me lay things—every- thing, or I will come and make You opea your 4ed-room door. _I have depended upon you for what you promised, and unless You sead it to me, or allow me to obtain it immediately, now that I must have it. and have no time togoand borrow it, leok out!

Send your answer immediately, or I will kick Your bedwpom door down if you do not meet me alone. q@. F.” The follow'ng is her reply to the above: _ “May God forgive you, I eannot My heart is broken. Whatever may have beon my frults, L have loved you most devotedly; it is impossible for me to please you. 1 have made every effort, submitted to ‘the most shaineful abuce merely to be with you; for I well knew that [ could not live without the hope of bein, with you But never until last night could i think it possible for you to attempt to disgrace me. Have you no feeling? Cannot you pity aweak woman? Oh! I donot regret to die. You ean have the pleasure of feeling that I have suffered as ‘aaah as you could wish. The small portrait you have destroyed—the other you shall never see. My papa will now take care of me. “ I cannotsee you; I hope you are contented; ou have succeeded in making me very sick. ‘0 ag you think best; but you must balieve in your heart that I have always loved you. If I could situp I would like to see you. Grant me one favor—keep something I have given you. Tam very miserable; write one kind word, it is not mach.”’ This is the answer sent by Furniss to that note: Send my portrait—you may then go to the devil. I detest liars. and you are the greatest one [ ever knew. Itis unnecessary for you to tell me again that you cannot forgive me. I do not intend you shall see me again, or care whether you furvive me or not. I wish nothing that will remind me of one so false. The ree- oilection of your deceit will be quite sufficient Do not bother me any more ; send my portrait, or I will write to Mr. W. for it. I do not care for it, but hate one that is so deceitful, un- truthful, to be in possession of it. Thank you for nothing.” The case was settled in court by a compro- mise, in which it was agreed that Mrs. Wood man shall be released from the Asylum, aud return with her brother to her parents in Mis- sissippi. The Tribune says: His sister was overjoyed to meet him, and grow- ing out of the nervous excitement incident to the reunion she was quite unwell, but was exabled to come to the city during the afternoon of Wednes- day. She isa lady quite petite iif form, with a dark, briliiant eye, and dark brown hair, and has a face of more than ordinary intelligence. She has evidently been a woman of great beauty, bat owing to continued sickness, she bas lost much of ber attractiveness. She has always exbibited great taste in dress, and at the waterin: laces, Sarnioga and Newport, has been noted for: the number and richness of her robes. At Saratoga, when last there, she was known as the lady with seventy-five diesses. Her aye is avout twenty- eight; xhe has been married nearly ten years. After the close of the proceedings yesterday af- ternoon, Mr. Thomas went to ab cl in Jersey City where Mrs. Woodman bad been conveyed, and at § o'clock they took the train for Philadel- phia - Mr. Furniss, it ix said, left the city carly yes- terday morning, having learned of the arrival of Mr. Thomas. The case is one occurring in what is called “high life,’ Mr. Woodman being a merchant ot high standing in New Orleans, and Furniss the son of au honorable merchant of New York. What a ~ high lite’ that must be. from which but a flimsy veil is torn to reveal scenes at which the humblest cottager must shudder. Paris Gossir.—A curious discovery has been made, while repairing the house formerly ov- cupied by the Jucobin Club during the great re- volution, and now known as the Hotel de Lon- dres, in the Rue St. Hyacinthe, St. Honore. The club which guided the destinies of the re- volution during some few years had often boasted of allowing the ambition of Robespierre and other leaders to progress so far, and no farther; and the members by vote had passeda law which entitled the majority to exclude from any particular seauce any particular member whose interests might lead him to sway the opinions of the club. Robespierre, whose am- bition had rendered him an object of suspicion, had often been voted out by the ussembly; and it bas been matter of sarprise to the historians of the time, that he could so long have maintained his influence in spite of the violence of the op- position thus permitted. The secret is now re- vealed : smal! room,—a hiding place in the thickness of the wall, has just been discovered, opening by a trap door into the very hall where the deliberations were being carried on, and whence he could listen to the measures to be tiken again-t him, and, thus furearmed, have wer to defeat them. It is evident that this Riaing-ptace must often have been occupied by Robespierre; and when first entered by the workmen, the traces of his presence were still visible in the journal which lay upon the table, and the writing paper, from which had heen torn a small portion, as if for the purpose of making a memorandum. The only book which was foand inthe place was a volume of Florian, open atthe second chapter of Claudine. Itwas covered with suuff, which had evidently been snaken from the reader's shirt trill, and bore tes- timony to the truth of history which records the simplicity of the literary tastes of Robe His presence seemed still to hang about that small space, as thougt he bad quitted it but the moment befure; and; singular, enough, the marks of his feet, as though he had recently 10%" Typhoid fever and the influenza prevail toa pa rl in Haljfax county, Va. _ For Rent and Sale.
