EARLY HISTORY
OF
The Murderer, Runoff, Escapee, Etc
The following sketch of the infamous
career of linllotrs earlier life, from the
Binghamton Rept!)halm, can but prove
interesting to the reader, both young and
old; to the youth as a warning, and the
more mature a caution to be wary in their
confidence:
Edward IT. WWII, on his arrival at
Dryden, said that he was a native tof St.
Johns, New Brunswick; that there he
had been a clerk in a hardware store, and
had come to New York for the purpose of
getting into more remunerative, or larger
business. In the city he met, according
to his story, a gr. Gouruud a teacher of a
commerical school, who promised that
after ghing him a course of Instruction
in book-keeping, pentimanship, etc., to
guaranty him a situation ; but, 'Runoff,
in his phrivse. found Gouraud a "hum
ho t o ok hi s money, as long as he
hns any, and then failed to comply with
is agreement.
At Dryden, this story elicited a good
deal of svmpathy on the part of the
Schutt familv,atid also of others. It was
suggested a neighbor of Mr. Schutt
that Runoff should teach a select school
at his house. HuDid con neat r id, and
openen w
d his school a fe months erward.
'I he impression of the young man was
that he was worthy in all respects. lie
seemed to !lase good habits, and few
Lillis. Of his pupils were some Members
of the Schutt family, tit° or three of the
younger children. Among them Harriet
Schutt, who nits then nut more than six
teen. unnofr, according to his stittement
was tit cur% -three. Almost from the be
ginning of the school. he began paying
attettlit!ats to )less Schutt. When the
purpise of marriage became manifest,'
the Schtitta, who. as we 4 hear from all!
sources, wer e people of mach intelligence
and cleirLeter to.ed their influence
to prey-at It. limllutf had given no satis
factory account of hinne he gave no
rekrence such as it iAlis fair to expect. ;
Itot the r,sult was as all know, that the ,
marriage took place, the family at last re- ,
hictantly consenting. Immediately after
his mil-nage. Ituflotf began the course of
ell treatment of his nife mhich afterward
deprived him of the confidence and re-,
spect of all except her who was most im
mediately concerned. She clung to him,
making no complaints. One cause of
ill
fec•ling on the part of Runoff, grew out of
the tact that icooff was a botanical doc
tor having gained his knowledge of
medicine from his reading of medical
books, and that Dr. Win. If. Bull, a re
lative and intimate of the Schutts, was
an allopathic physician, a iruduate of a
medical college in New 1 ark. These
men held discussions as the relative mer
its of the systems; and Rulloff quarrelled'
with Bull, and asked that, the family
should close their doors against hint.
The antipathy existed before Rulloff's
marriage. The Doctor being a cousin of
; the Schutt children, was not debarred,
) their friendship at Rullidrs bidding; they
did not see that Rokitnlwreonal dislike
) should disturb family relations. The
result was that Itullod assmned jealousy i
or him; amd whenever opportunity pre
sented, by familiar greeting between the
I young people, there was an outburst of
; anger on the part of Runoff, that remler
;
ed the life of the wife extremely unpleas
ant. The public are familiar with the
attempt 'nude to poison her, the blows
he inflicted upon her, etc.., and the story
tired not be repeated here.
TIIF. LISA ?PEA ILI E MYSTEII/OU3
Some months after their marriage, Rul
lon' induced his wife to go to a place in
L an si ng about five miles from Ithaca, and
a mile :aid a half from Cayuga Lake. At
that place their child was horn. What
is known of the sudden disappearance of
Mrs. Yulluff , we state with particular re
ference to the circumstances as they up
ilt-arett to those must intimately connect
ed with them. It was nut known, and is
not vet known that any preparation had
been made by Runoff fur murder. On
• the evening when Mrs. Itullotf and the
child were last seen, they were tisited by
' the daughter of Mrs. Rotwrtsun, whose

he proposed to q ivy to the child. Mrs.
Rulloff objected, saying that the babe
was not ill, and needed no medicinc.
Ifulloff urged that it would be good for
the child, and even for herself. But the
' medicine was nut given, while the visitor
remained. On the next morning, Mr.
Robertson, who arose early, observed that
the shutters of Runoff's house were tight
( ly closed—li very unusual circumstance;
' but he thought nothing of it. Later in
the moniing, uut far from nine o'clock.
Runoff came out and went to the house
of his neighbor. and asked him to let him
take a horse and wagon, saying that his
[Rulloffej wife's uncle had called in the
night and his wife and child had gone
with hint to Motes Corners; in order to
make room for the wife and child the
uncle was obliged to leave a large chest I
at his house. rhat chest, he desired to
take to the nude. Mr. Robertson,who nev
de n ied Ltulloff an v n g—h av ng acflu
ed for him a very 'friendly feeling—at once
harnessed the horse, and put it at his dis-
posuL lluild If drove to his own door,
and attempted to load the chest. Mr.
Robertson standing to his own door, saw
that Rullolf was unable to accomplish the
work, and went over to his assistance.
Mr. Robertson found his it:id of the chest
very fieavy; but it was loaded by the two
in the wugoo, Bullog took his seat and
drove away ; Net fur from his house he

animation. 8o they went on, the tau of
tea uproarious.
THE JOURNPY TO THE LkHE.
Rut ftulloff did not go to idott's Corn
ers. lie drove direct to Itahaca, and
thence to the inlet of Cayuga Lake.
There the wagon stood, with the chest is
it during the day. Runoff was absent,
he was not noticed. When evening came
on, the wagon moved down the inlet to
ward the l ak e; but that that point trace
of it was lost.
THE CHEST AGAIN'
Nothing was ascertained of It
movements, and he was not observed
by any person until about 10 o'clock of
the next day, when ho returned with the
wagon and the same chest It was an
emigrant box. On Runoff stopping at
his door, a son of Mr. Robertson ap
proached to take the horse, and Runoff
took hold of the chest to lift it out. The
boy said, "Let me assist von." At once
taking hold of the cheat, lte noticed that
it was empty. Rulioff went into the
house, and the boy drove away with the
horse. The shutters remained, closed.
RUI.LOFeS DEP . 1 / 4 lITU ItF.
In the afternoon Runoff came out with
a bundle under his arm, and passed Mr.
Robertion's garden, where Mr. Robertson
was at work. Runoff spoke to him in a
careless way. "By-bye, Mr. Robertson,
by-bye ; don't lie alarmed if we don't come
back in two or three weeks; I and my
wife talk of gel rig on a visit between the•
lakes" (that is Cayuga and Seneca Lakes.)
!le added jocularly, -Please don't let any
man carry away our house while we are
gone." lie then walked away.
A NIUHT MAN EUV ER-SINGULAR FLIGHT.
• Runoff went directly to Ithaca, pro
cured a horse and wagon, and drove hack
to his own house late in the night of the
same day, and took the chest he had left,
away from his house, without knowledge.
at, that time of any person. lie drove to
the st.ige office in Ithaca. where he left
the chest. The stage started for Geneva
at 4 o'clock in the morning; and he with
his chest, was on board. On that, pass
age, he registered his name as John Dot..
lle was seen by a relatke of the Schutt
family in the stage, at a point not far
from Jacksonville, a place not far frimi

was no passenger except Ile

where he eroosed Seneca Lake. and then
to Crooked Lake: up that Like to Ilam
mondsport ; and then by stage to the
Genesee Valley. Here the trace was lost.
wholly, at that time. We should say
however that the chest was taken to
Chicago, as is now well established.
FAMILY COURTESY
A few dayswhen one of the
Schutt family wC s s s e 'd members knew noth
ing of the absence of Rulloff, was sent
by the parents to R.ulloffs house with
some furniture. This was done to show
the interest of the family-ia his welfare,
and a desire to encourage him to do better
than he had done. lint the doors were
found locked; information was gained of
the absence as was supposed of Mrs. Hui
loff, her child and her husband ; and the
furniture was necessarily taken home
again.
Little or no suspicion was entertained
of Rulloffs movements. and least of all
perhaps by Mr. Robertson, the neighbor.
Mr. Robertson felt the utmost confidence
in Runoff; partaking almost of the nu- !
tare of affection. Their association had
been very intimate.
THE FIRST SriNCION
Two or three weeks had now passed,
and suspicion arose, particularly in Ithaca,
that Rulloff's absence was more significant
than Robertson, or even the Schutt fami
ly, thought it. A man from the village
went to the house, forced open the shut
ter and looked in. He saw enough to
convince him that Mrs. Unlit:lff had nuide
no preparation fora journey; and he com
municated his strengthened suspicion to
the Schutt brothers, who were living in
Ithaca. This was the first cry of murder.
The brothers went in haste to the place,
broke open the house, and were convinc
ed that something was wrong, though
they refused to share iu the suspicion of
murder. They knew of Rullolf's violent
temper, his threats, etc., but thought him
incapable of killing his wife and child.
Retuniing to Ithaca at perhaps nine
o'clock in the evening, the store of one of
the brothers was closed ; and the two sat
discussing the matter alone; the door be
ing ajar.
AO AI g
siida,nly Runoff enterkd. Ile was
very warmly greeted. One of the broth
ers advanced to him, and said : "Doctor,
I am so glad to see yen; where is your
wife ?" Ile answered promptly, "Between
the lakes." -How %cry strangely you
manage," said the brother. "Why," he
added,•"the people here have been talk
ing abnut your murdering your rife."
Rulloff laughed, merely answer
ing,
,"flave they ?" Then the brother
invited him up stairs to u sleeping room.
But little was mentioned further about
the report of the murder. Rullotf said
he and Harriet had been haying a tine
time between the lakes; that they hail
made many pleasant acquaintances, etc.
In the morning Rudloff went to his wife's
father's, in Dryden, eight miles front
Ithaca. Mr. anti Mrs. Schutt had heard
nothing of the slight suspicious that had
been aroused in Ithaca. They received
him kindly, and inquired concerning his

scenery; how we)/ his wife was pleased
with the prospect there;.,und that he had
