S h e T e l l s a "Telegram" M a n A l l About Her Domestic Life. Through the kindness of Editor W . H . Baldwin, o f t h e Domocrat, & n d w h o i s foreman o f t h e coroner's jury, the Tele- gram secured an interview with Mrs. Richards, h e r s o n , G e o r g e , n i n e t e e n years of age, being present. Mrs. Richards had previous to this time refused to talk to any newspaper representative. Elminating the questions asked b y . t h e {MBS. BICHARDS. TTTK GRIEVED wmow.] reporter. Mr.-?. Richards said: " My father was George W. Doughty, w h o w a s for many years the well-known proprie- tor o f t h e Occidental, the principal hotel in Goshen, N . Y . Afterwards my hus- band kept the same hotel, and after leaving Goshen became the proprietor of t h e J e f f e r s o n house, in this village. The first year we were i n t h e Jefferson house we made money and later we suffered losses, a n d I h a d t o sell my home here. (GEORGE RICHARDS. THE SON.] Of course, you have heard what every- body knows, but I want to say that many of these s t o r i e s h a v e been greatly magnified. My husband a n d I have al- ways l i v e d ' h a p p i l y together, a n d h e h a s a l w a y s t r e a t e d me with the utmost kind- ness and consideration. Recently, it seemed t o m e that h e h a d been kinder than ever, a n d h& appeared t o b e i n t h e best of spirits. Last night about 7 o'clock he came into the restaurant and greeted me pleasantly and wanted to know if I h a d been t o t e a . I told him that I had. He then said that his col- lar button had torn o u t a n d I tcld him that we would go down t o o u r rooms. We had rooms with Mrs. Caroline Bald- win, on Perry street." (Mrs. Richards and h e r s o n a t the time of the inter- view, were stopping with Hervey Wal- t e r s ' s f a m i l y , opposite Dr. Firman's resi- dence on Seventh street). "Well, we went to our rooms together ond Mr. Richards, after we had visited for a while* changed his clothes, a s w a s his evening custom by putting on an old suit, and said h e h a d t o g o u p town. I did not think anything of thi3 and after h e l e f t the house I went t o b e d . I woke up about 1 o'clock this morning, and was surprised t o A n d m y husband not at home.

Some- thing seemed to tell me that harm had befallen him. as I had never known him to-remain away from home before w i t h o u t ' i n f o r m i n g m c <>f h i s intentions. I slept no more from that time until 7 o'clock, wre.-i I knew the restaurant would be o-,x*n and I went there and learned the facts of the tragedy.

My hus- band left 52,000 life insurance, in which I am the beneficiary, and over $200 in cash. I . a m greatly burdened over the terrible affair, b u t I a m trying to bear up as bravely as possible, but several times to-day it has seemed as i f - m y grief was greater than I could bear." HER APPEARANCE. Mrs. Richards i s a nice appearing l&dy rather below the medium'•' height, dork complexion, dark e y e s , w i t h a' full, round face and rather plump form. Her son, George, closely resembles h e r , a n d In the differences that have arisen over his father's attentions to M i s s Q u i r k , he has invariably taken his mothers side, jzrd stoutly defended her against his father. George Ringer, w h o w a s M r . Richard's partner in the billiard room over the restaurant, told the reporter that he. Ringer, had heard Mr. Rich- ards say that if it were n o t f o r t h e b o y , Georgie, he would leave his wife. On one point all who knew the Richards family intimately, agree, and that is that Mrs. Richards loved her husband sincerely and deeply, a n d n o w that he is dead, with all that she possibly knows, she will n o t s a y o n e word against him.

THE ENVELOPE IN WHICH THE LETTER WAS ENCLOSED. Richards might have been insanely jeal- ous, of which there c a n b e little doubt, judging from his actions, a n d a t the same time Katie might not have been his mistress. The s t r u g g l e s h o w n b y t h e broken teeth and lacerated chin.of the murdered girl, the abrased skin o n t h e murderer's hands, and wound i n t h e l e g indicate the possibility 5 of this. There's a chance for difference of opinions even <sS^ [DOOK A T T H E HEAR OE HOTEL, AND KATXE QTJIRX'8 WINDOW-IX SECOND STORY.] among detectives i n t h e matter. B u t o f the cool-blooded intent of Richards's there's no room for doubt. He either visited Katie's room and murdered her, and then went t o t h e drug store and purchased the laudanum, o r a t t h e time he secured the carving k n i f e . f r o m his r e s t a u r a n t , w i t h w h i c h to kill his victim, h e a l s o p r o c u r e d the d r u g w i t h which to end h i s o w n life. Everything was plan- ned i n t h e most deliberate and .cooli- b l o o d e d m a n n e r . L.et It be assumed that he was most likely to have made b u t o n e • trip, a n d i t seems that h e w a s seen orii t h e s t r e e t , b u t a t o n e time, and this wai after purchasing the drug. He. must h a v e e n t e r e d the h o t e l f r o m the rear and gliding u p t h e narrow and dark stair- way with murder i n h i s heart a n d h i s hand grasping the rough bone-handled knife, have entered the room where Katie was asleep. THE DEATH STRUGGLE. She may h a v e h e a r d h i m , h e m a y have none b u t G o d a n d t h e angels knew at the s time. And t h u s e n d e d two lives, one of a beautiful young woman, who a short time before w a s a s happy as a child playing with its toys a t i t s moth- er's feet, b u t n o w cold a n d t h e lamp of life rudely and most unnaturally shut out. This i s a s near a n d a s well a s t h e story will ever be told. B u t o n e public exhibition of Richards's jealousy Is known. Some time a g o a n Elmiran at- tending court at Watkins had been kind- lyi-treated by M i s s Q u i r k . She happened to b e a t t h e Northern C e n t r a l t r a i n when the Elmiran left for home, when Rich- ard's approached h e r a n d said he would slap her face i f s h e e v e r s p o k e t o t h e E l - miran again. T h i s i n c i d e n t m e r e l y illus- trates that h e w a s a s insanely jealous of h e r a s i f h e h a d been a mere youth and Katie his first and only love. Trage- dies of this kind rarely occur. Seldom does a married man murder a young woman because he loves h e r , o r because she i s h i s mistress. I t i s a crime with few precedents i n t h e motive or brutal- ity. Mrs. Kendall, proprietor of the house, denied most emphatically t o t h e Telegram reporter that Richards had e v e r v i s i t e d Katie i n h e r house. She said that Katie had been i n h e r employ up- wards o f t w o years, a n d s h e h a d always behaved like a perfect lady. The truth, so f a r a s i t i s possible t o b e gleaned, is given to T e l e g r a m r e a d e r s and they must judge for themselves whether Katie Quirk was innocent, o r t h e victim of a man's passion so hellish and brutal as to make even Satan blush a t i t s enor- mityi The dead man left a letter o n t h e dresser i n t h e room where the murder was committed. Through the kindness of District Attorney S. C. Boylen, the Telegram is able to present an exact photograph of It, actual size of en- velope and all.

Y . , D e c . 1.—The jury in the case of Katie Quirk met last even- ing at the office of District Attorney Bolyen, and after taking the testimony of the many witnesses, w h o , h a d been subpoenaed by. Officer Henry Waite, gave the following verdict: "She came to her death at the hands of Charles N. Richards at the Kendall house,- in the village of Watkins, o n t h e morning of the 29th of November, 1894. That ,said Richards stabbed h e r i n t h e neck with a knife, and she died from the wound." This concluded the work of the coroner's jury as it has' been de- cided not necessary to hold an inquest in the ease of Richards. Testimony given fully substantiates the report as given in the extra Telegram on that eventful Thanksgiving day. The conclusion of the expert testimony was that the deed had been committed as described b y t h e local representative in that issue. The only additional facts brought out were that he died from the opiate taken by him a n d n o t from the injuries he had Inflicted. H e h a d n o t lost blood enough to cause his death and that the wound upon h i m h a d not been made to ex- ceed'forty minutes when they were dis- covered. It is. learned that the young lad w h o w a s employed i n t h e restaurant by him, knew that Richards w a s i n t h e habit of visiting Miss Quirk a t t h e h o - tel Kendall, gaining admission to the house i n t h e night time b y t h e w a y o f a back door. I t i s b u t justice to the dead girl to state that within a few months paBt s h e h a s b e e n w i t h all earn- estness endeavoring t o p u t a stop t o t h e attachment that existed between them, and a s a result h e h a d become m a d a t her, many quarrels being the natural outcome. Mention has already been made of the letter that the murderer left o n t h e bureau by the side of the knife. It now becomes known that he left a duplicate of t h i s l e t t e r o n a table in the kitchen part of the restaurant, directed to John, W. Gurnett ( and that the letter was found b y o n e o f t h e e m - ployes and given t o M r . Gurnett. Just to what degree o r o f what nature the intimacy was with Richards a n d t h e girl will never be known, but it seems to have been o f a n extraordinary charac- ter. at their annual sessions. No word was ever heard against his character while here, and his wife, a fine looking and pleasant" lady, made meny warm friends, w h o h a v e o c c a s i o n a l l y b e e n f a v c r e d with a visit from her. In fact, Mrs. Richards spent a d a y h e r e a b o u t t h r e e w e e k s ago, while o n h e r w a y t o h e r home at Carmel. After the hotel property was disposed of here, Mr. Richards spent about a year in New York city, and then removed to Watkins, where he conducted a hotel owned b y W . J . Penoyer, of Chester, this county. MORTON'S STAFF. The Governor-Elect Announces t h e A p - pointments of His Military Aids. KNOWN IN MIDDLETOWN. Middletown, N . Y . , D e c . 1.—Charles N.
