TIZREE CHILDREN MURDERED BY THEIR
MOTRER.—A dreadful crime was perpetrated at Westwood
Side, a village in the Isle of Axholme, near Epworth, Lin-
colnshire, on Tuesday, a woman, named Wilson, having
murdered her three children. The woman, it appears, had
get up in the night, and, taking the three sleeping children
from their beds, forced them through the " man hole',
into the cistern. She then calmly looked on until life was
extinct. The husband was away from home on business
when all this took place, and the woman herself was the
first to communicate the distressing intelligence to him.
She had, it seems, before the commission of the deed had
become known, left the house and made her way to Wheat-
ley, in Nottinghamshire, where her husband was, and in re-
ply to questions from him, as;soon as she made her appear-
ance, as to how she had got there, and what she had done
with the children, she said they were safe in heaven."
Alarmed at her language and manner, he asked her what
she meant, and, after a little hesitation, she confessed that
she had put them to death. The husband hastened home--
only to find his wife's tragic tale too true. The woman is
now in custody. It is believed she has for some time past
given evidence of inutility.
