year old New York Assemblyman and U.S. Representative, Daniel Sickles

philandering husband, she eventually commenced an affair of her own with
Philip Barton Key (1818-1859), the son of the famous composer of "The Star
Spangled Banner". When Sickles found out in 1859, he planned Key's murder in
advance, and then shot and killed his wife's lover. At the sensational trial

reason of temporary insanity. He was acquitted and went on to have a
successful career in Congress and as a general in the Union army. One
