History of Marion County, MO
Killing of Thomas B. Hart By John S. Wise
On the 2nd of August, 1849, occurred a tragedy in front of Oveton Hotel , in Palmyra, that divided the attention of the public for a time with the contemplation of the ravages of the cholera. This was the killing of one Thomas B. Hart. of St Louis, By John S Wise, then a clerk in the post-office of that city.
Hart was a gentleman of leisure, and adventurer, a soldier of fortune, a man of accomplishment, some wealth, a handsome fellow, and a libertine, He had been on Doniphan's expedition to Mexico and had won a name for gallantry and bravery, Boarding at the same house with Wise and His wife, he had formed an unlawful and unholy intimacy with Mrs. Wise , a young woman of uncommon talents and accomplishments , and of considerable beauty and powers of fascination, Wise had formerly lived in Palmyra, and had a brother, Thomas Wise, then a resident of the county,,
mrs. Wise had come up to her brother-in-laws, in Marion county, on a visit, and to avoid the cholera, then prevailing so disastrously in St. Louis. Her paramour, Hart, had followed her. Previously he had been corresponding with her not only at St. louis, but at the Palmyra, addressing her a the letter place as "Miss H. Wallenstein, and Miss H. Sappho." Being a clerk in the St. Louis post-office Wise recognized the direction on a letter to Miss H Sappho. as being in Hart's writing , and having been previously warned that all was not right , he curiosity and his jealousy prompted him to open it, which he did, and discovered everything, He learned , beyond doubt, of the disloyalty of his wife, and of her liaison with hart, and ascertained that even then the latter was on his way to Palmyra to effect a meeting with her., in the furtherance of their shameful relations, Arming himself with a pistol and keen bowie-knife, the next day he took passage on the steamer Kate kearney of marion city , one day behind the wicked destroyer of his happiness and the robber of his wife's honorLearning from the driver of the back between Marion City and palmyra that Hart had passed the day before and was then in palmyra, Mr. Wise was cautions and circumspect. He made his way to the post-office immediately on his arrival at the county seat, and obtained two letters to his wife from Hart, addressed to " Miss H. Wallenstein". mastering the contents of these, he was goaded almost to frenzy.
He saw heart seated nonchalantly under the awning of the overton hotel, whose guest he was while awaiting a personal interview with the guilty Cressida who was luring him to his death. Wise passed unobserved to the rear of the hotel and then made his way to the front. as he stood in the bar-room door, Hart discovered him. Wise instantly presented his pistol and fired. The ball struck Hart in the left shoulder, inflicting a severe but not a fatal wound. Wise then assaulted Hart, and with the empty pistol struck him two or three blows over the heard. Hart retreated, and Wise drew his bowie and started to pursuit, Overtaking him in the back part of the hotel Wise stabbed Hart repeatedly, making frightful and fatal wounds. In one struggle between them, while the knife was sticking in his back , Hart threw Wise to the ground: but the knife fell, Wise caught it up , and springing to his feet buried it in Hart's body and wrenched it back and forth, and at last turned it in the wound, hart fell, the blood spouting from his wounds, and flowing from his lungs through his mouth in a frothy scarlet current, and was dead in a few seconds.Wise surrendered himself, remarking as he washed the blood from his hands, " That man has hurt me worse than I have him. _ let me get at him again" His examination came off in the latter part of the month, before justices John Ricce and a. W. Rush , in Palmyra, and attracted the greatest attention. the best lawyers in missouri were present. for the State there were circuit Attorney a. W. Lamb, the grifted. Col. R. F. Richmond. of Hannibal,, a Talented criminal lawyer of St. Lousis named R. S. Blennerhassett, and Edwin G. Pratt. and Judge John. T. Redd. of Palmyra. The defendant'. counsel were Samuel T Grover, John Campbell , Thomas L Anderson and Stantorn buckner of palyra.
The examination took place in the Circuit Court room, which was crowed with spectator many of whom were ladies. day after day, as the investigation progressed. The St, Louis Republican sent up a stenographer to report the proceedings. a very uncommon thing for a newspaper to do in that day.
