gentleman’s fancy antique walking stick or cane

Although the names have long been forgotten, the original owner of this cane was a stage actor, and as the story goes, was in Minneapolis performing in a play. During some time off, he and his wife were out for a walk to see the city and while they were on this walk, his wife fell to her death from a bridge over the Mississippi river, and although it was never proven, it was suspected that he threw her from the bridge.
