Atr0cious 1furdcr-We have received an extra
from the office of the Warren (Ohio) News Letter,
containing the following. PAtlad Ing. .
On Thursday Tie oh inst, Ira W3st Gardner,
Of Gustavus, was committed 10 the Jail Of Irumbull
aged u5out fifteen years, the daughter of his wife.
The circumstances related to US were as fol-
lows
The deceased had resided with her mother and
Mr.. Gardner, but owing to some family difficulty
she determined to do SO 10 longer, and on Thursday
went to one of the near neighbors, where she re
manned over night. Previous to her departure she
gave her laends to understand that ii was not her
intention to return. Gardner IN vain demonstrated,
and on Wednesday induced his wlfc 10 90 to the
ncighbor's and persuade Maria 10 return and live
with them-She did so, and Maria consented to
accompany her home, not to remain, but for her
clothes, which she had not previously takcn away,
At this time Gardner was In his own house IN COM
pany with Nr. Bldwell, and rs the mother and
daughter approached, he went out and met them in
the road near lhe house-laid hold Of Maria and
plugged Il large butcher knife INTO her breast, and
Immediately repeated the fatal stab. Mr.. Bldwell
hearing the s ,rcams Of the deceased, ran directly to
her relief, but it was too late the shocking deed
was done. Gardner ON the appearance Of Bidwell,
dropt the knife, gave himself up and was forthwith
bound and secured by Mr.. Bldwell The girl, as
soon as released from the monsters grasp, run a few
rods, fell down and immediately expired.
Gardner is now imprisoned, and, as the whole
aiflir will undergo legal Investigation, We forbear
further remarks ON this unparalleled and b4rbarous
transactions.
