HE SUPPOSED MI RDERESS.-Ine negro
girl CAROLINE. charged with causing the death Of
John W. Miller, infant, by throwing him over
the porch railing of his mothers residence. on the
81 inst. again before the Mayor. yesterday
and one or two witnesses were examined, but no
new facts elected. Indeed all the crcurn-
stances are conclusive against her, that no one
doubts her being guilty of wiltul murder. The
facts are simply these ~ detailed by Mrs. Miller :
The prisoner is girl of violent temper exceeding
ly unknd to Mrs IS children, had choked one Of
them severely three weeks before the occurrence
aud but two days before the murder, had said. in
the presence Of the mother of John, Il wish lie
was dead. for | AIN tired of washing and doing for
him" When Mrs. Miller left her child in the care
of his sister, the prisoner took that occasion to
send the little girl to the hydrant for water, not
withstanding the fact that pitcher full stood in
room near her; said she would not take care of the
child while his sister gone, but would leave
him for her, and then picked him up in her arms,
leaned over the porch railing, where she could moi
see the hydrant to look for the little girl she had
sent for water, and let the child fall by accident
as She alleges These facts. with the additional
one that she gave alarm when the child fell
and denied knowing anything about it, couclu-
siye that She is far from being gniitless of blame
and induced the Mayor to remand her for final trial
next Wednesday.
