Indianapolis, Ind June 10 -- Emory P. Beauchamp Consul at Aix la Chapelle under President Grant, died today at the Central Indiana Hospital for the insane. Mr. Beauchamp was a lawyer of Terre Haute, Ind who was sent to Aix by President Grant in 1874.  He passed the most brilliant Consular examination in Washington. While on leave of absence he visited England and sent his card to Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, who presided in the Tichborne trial. Beauchamp was thereupon invited to a seat on the bench with his Lordship. He dug up the peerage record also and asserted his right to the extinct title of Earl of Warwick, by which title he was afterwards known. He married the daughter of a Frankfort banker but she left him on account of his dissipation. His insanity was caused by liquor. - kbz
