" Having little of moment to say, beg leave to
give you the following extract Of q letter from a
gentleman IN South Kingston, r. l. dated JAN g.
1914, TO his brother, officer in this garrison and
he whom reading the horrid tale does not blush
& hang his head to think himself man, rnust he
'e'd to every moral and religious sentiment that

son OF Peleg Brown, called in little, girl who lived

| age to read her alphabet-that she read Though
the hrst time pretty correctly and that Brow then
ordered her To read it over again which abe did az
far as the letter z. which she could not or vould
not speak-upon which he veRt out and cut two al
der sticks. with which he vhipt her until they were
unht for his horrid purpoae--that he then took a
stick designed for candle rod, with which he also
beat her till worn out nearly so-and that after
this still larger stick put into his hands by
his wife with which he beat her still lonser--,hat
IN the intervals of whipping her, and after he had
desised, he held her naked body the fire. and Ii
tersily roasted her--Go that the skin on her back
was found erisped by the Jury, and Ewhat is stiIl
more borrd, ifpossble he held her ear in his teeth
for a whole hour, which he chewed and Iacerated
to peces.-The jury found verdict of murder a.
gaiast Brown, who is committed TO Jail IN this town
to wait mis- trial in April next.

the death of the child to the burning, SAYING the

was committed here, the family Of Brown are rot
natives OF this place, but belong else where"
