murdered by mob at that place on

Mrs. Allen. Soon after the attemp,
was made, the woman was arrested,
and made the following confession:--

Cured in the nci ghborhood, a meeting
was called to consult upon measures
to be taken. The Liberty Tribune
says:
Anicc was brought before the
meeting--as was Northumberland in
their presence, and looking NC, in
the face. she repeated what she had
previously stated in reference to the
crime. and told McCintock he was
the cause of her doing it.
IN the morning of OH, the sense of
the meeting was taken upon n motion
that she should be publicly executed,
and there was not voice against it.
Anice was, accordingly. taken about
half mile from town, and hung. To
the last she made the same statements
in reference to M'Clintock, and this
fact, in connection with other circum.
stances in reference TO the guilt of
M'Clintock, induced those assembled
at the place of execution to hang him
also.
