Tuesday:
MUST AWFUL AND HORRID
MURDER.
"A letter from a gentleman in Greensjurv.
to a cltlzeno this place, of the date of March
the 9Th, states that there has Just been dis
closed and brought to light, one of the most
shocking murders ever committed in a chris
tan land. In July 1888, there lived in
Green County, about I miles south west of
Greensburg, a woman by the nAme of Luz
cinda White. She had her twd sons. one
Is or is years old-the other IA or ii, and
her daughter-inIaw, (whose husband lives in
the southern States,) with a cIfld 10 or 20
months old, were all living together. In Ju-
|ly 1888, intending to move south to their re-
%latVons, Il man by the name of Darlington
Simpson, volunteered and undertook to re-
move them. On 4 certain night, the younger
Mrs. White, her child, and the elder Mrs.
White younger boy. were packed on horses,
and after they had gone Iaore than a mile,
they were knocked in the, head and killed.
and buried in IN Old out house, in a hole
about two feet deep.
On The next morning. the elder boy was sent
OF under some prcteXt, and did not return for
4 week. On the next night after the first
murder, tie old woman was Killed at her
own house, and pat into tie same hole and
the elder boy returned in dbout n week aE
ter, was killed and buried in the same place;
making in all FIVE human beings. Suspicious
have been aiioat for somC months and grew
stronger and stronger until the 27ih OF Feb
.ruary, when Simpson WIS arrested and car
red before an examining court, and sent on
FOX further trial. Some sixty Of seventy
turned cut 10 hunt for the bones of the
murdered. which they found late on Friday
evening. On yesterday. tie Coroner held
IN inquest over he skeletons. On last night
| went TO TIE prison, IN company with S%cvera!
and Simpson confess d that lie had
.hc,Fed 10 Kill them. He said that two men
by tie name Of tthc names are written is
the letter. but omitted by us0 had aided him
lie said the cause Of killing them was their
money and property. ! dont think the whole
# their money and property was worth one
hundred dollars. and the most OF it was N
cloihing and bed clothes.
The two persons iHp.icated by Simpson,
have been arrested. and Will ne examined to-
morrow. No other evidence brt that ofSimp-
son las yet ir~ansPired against them. Simp-I
sonS family. 6 or 8 in number, have been ar
rested, and Wi! be examined tomorrow.

DEaR SiE-In the Herald OF this morning I no
ticed an article, purporting TO be from Croome N

made by me, representing the sortie at Fort Meigs
was taken from design Of their own, Of which
they had secured copy right. The thing to which
they allude, believe have seen hawked about the
streets by some ragged boys-snd is III to
grace the columns Of your paper, than the cut Of
"whole hog would be to decorate the title page Of
the Holy Bible. As To the originality Of theirs the
principal part is copied from some old United
States historical engravings drawn by Doctor An
derson ten years before Harrison was ever thought
Of as candidate for the presidency; and to which
they have more claims original, than they have
to the passage from Henry v. which heads the arti-
Gle alluded to IN ysur paper
