ROBBERY I'M MURDER

-
We learn from a source which we have no
reason TO doubt, that a horrible murder was
committed, during last week, at a house a
short distance this side of Springfield, in this
State. We have the name Of the person who
lived in the house, but, until the facts are
fully ascertained by a regular investigation,
we 90 not consider il our duty to mention il.
The circumstances were as follows:
A poor woman. with two children, was
travelling to Springfield. when night over
took her, just as she reached the above-nam-
cd house, where she applied for lodgings
until morning, which request was readily
granted. A shorttime AFTER, a gentleman on
horseback arrived and likewise. asked per-
mission to stay all night. After supper,.the
lady was showed to her chamber, where, be.
ing wearied with travel, she soon fell asleep.
She was aroused in the night by a noise
which she thought resembled a person
strangling, and Immediately after, she mag.
ined that she heard blood running on the
fioor. Her terror was great, but doubly, in,
creased when she heard some one in the ad.
joining room ask, "What shall we do with
the old ladyf" 'Murder her. to be sure" re-
piled a second voice. But the children p
inquired the first speaker, "t will be hard tc
kill them" "Well, them" said the second
1--WE will ascertain if she is asleep, and il SO
we will let her go in the morning. but if not
she must die" The lady had sufficient for
iitude and presence Of mind to appear 10 tn,
murderers, when they entered the room, Il
be in a sound sleep In the morning, the,
gave her her breakfast and suffered her Il
depart with her children. She had not gon'
lar when she met a man on foot, who stopped
her and enquired where she had stayed tn
previous night. She replied. at the frs
house. What kind Of people live there
asked the man. They were very kind an,
good to me. she replied. The stranger pas
sed on. and she had not proceeded far befor
a second man accosted her with "where sh
stayed last night2" BY this time her sns
picions were aroused. and she answered hin
in the same strain as she had replied to tn
first. He passed on. and she was met by
third, who proposed similar questions. an
received similar AT length she a
rived at Springfield, and lost no time in in
forming the proper authorities all that sh
had seen and heard. A body of men wer
procured. and proceeded to the house desia
mated. The murderers were taken by SUI
prise, and all secured. The house was the
searched, and the body Of a murdered ma
found in the cellar, and also the sum Of SI3
600 was found, supposed to be the propert
of the victim. BY next week we will prof.
ably learn further particulars, and the nam
Of the unfortunate man. 81
