HORRIBLE MURDER IN ILLINOIS From the
Watcrvle and Bellvillo papers. we have the
particlars of ono oftho most atrocous and cold
place. which has ever como under our notice.
Ii appears that man named Best living about
four miles from Waterloo, several weeks ago
very numerically beat and injured his wife,
on account of which cruel treatment sho left
his house and sought protection with her
daughter Mrs. Lepp. who resided at Waterloo.
Best theroupon threatened that if she did not
return 10 him, he would kill her On account
of these mepaces, hc was arrested and bound
over to keep the peace, and for sometime seem
ed very quiet.
On las. Saturday week. however, about ten
o'clock at night, their neighbors were awakene'!
from their sleep by loud cries from Lcpp's
house, and Fastening TO the spot. found Mrs.
Lepp drenched in blood upon the floor, and in
the agonies o: death. The only words she ut
TERED were. my father! my fatherl'' There
was found three deadly wounds upon Ter per-
son, inflicted with knife This testimony.
corroborated by the fact that Mrs. Best. thro'
tho door Of her room, saw her husband i'm the
house just before the deed was pcrpetrated,
leaves no possible doubt but that Mrs. .Lepp
was murdered by her own father. IIo was ac-
cordingy arrested and lodged in Jail. also u
man named Roland, suspected as OH accom-
plice to the act. Tho aiar has created great
excitement throughout Monroe county, and
great fears are entertained that tho prison.

the cobbler held his ground.

warm friend and supporter to him, and scru-

his witty protege an independent and rospoc-
