Shocking Mn,de- in alIssousi,

THE MCEIEhEk BURNED AT THE STAKE.
The negro nan, says the Boonville Observer, be-
longing to H. France, OF Heath's creek, Petts coun-
ty, Missouri, who murdered the wife Of JOHN Rains
living - the same neighborhood, was burned at the
stake IN or near Georgetown, on the 18th instant.
The circumstances attending this murder SO far as
we can learn, were as icll0w8:--
The negro man. aged nineteen or twenty, visited
Mr.. Rains house on Sunday morning, the 80 ofJuly,
while Rains was alb eIt al meeting, for the dab1l,
cal purpose-accordng to his cDuiession-of com.
hitting rape upon the person Of Mrs Rains The
consequence that this lady, within a few
weeks Of a confinement, was brutaly murdered with
a clubs the negro attempted 10 Kill her Oldest boy

that be would tell on him-and two younger chill

her, because a. the DeQio said, they annoyed him
by crying about their mother
When Rains returned home he found his wife
Gead and his eldest boy badly bruised that it was
thought he could not recover; but he distinctly tJld
his father WHO It was had committed the oltra re.
This demon IN human shape was Immediately aDpre-
heudtd Tor tIel, but the citizens took possession of
him 10 0u'n mm Immediately, and delayed the exc.
cuton only 10 ascertain the motives Of such a vii
famous outrage.
The negro at first said, as we understand. that it
was bot bin who committed the murder but his
brother: and next admitting his guilt said he was
instigated to the act by biz young master His
young master was Immediately taken into custody.
but was released because the negro exculpated him
from the charge, admitting that Il grew out OF his
int ntion to commit rape.
The only excuse which can be offered for the aw
full retrhuton Of burning tbs negro is the nature of
the offence and the frequent attempts OF late years
OF negroes to rape white women-several instances
Of which have occurred in this country-and the i'm
preston among the com munity that u required such
an example TO protect them from the repetition Of
similar outrages- The negros crime was horrid in
deed but his punishment will be regarded by many
