A HORRID MURDER

We have received from reliable sourou ,
particulars of most inhuman murder, perno,s.. ue
last week, in Cleveland county, North CsroEeu
upon the person ola child about eighteen menS. u,
The parties implicated are George Scates snS T ~
mother, Mary Scates. The mother of the cLSI HS
pauper known as Jane Sansing, left the Poor Ho1IS
of this District, in February; and while upon 10y
in the upper portion of the District met with .SI
was married to George Scates, and taking her chaS
went with him to his house, about one bunJ."i
yards over the North Carolina line Several wsa1a
ago, during her absence, her husband and ~
mother desiring as it is charged, to make wov vii
the child, placed it, naked, on the hearth yery
the fire, and upon it stick of wood heavy enouaI
to prevent its escape. In this condition, suffer-
excruciating torment, it was found by the mothass
on her return. Although terribly burned II SIM
vived two or three weeks and might have recovered
but last week, while the mother was again absent
seeking to beg nourishment for her child. sevor'
wound was inflicted upon it's forehead, apparpDtlr
with an iron hammer, which efectually completed
the fendish work.
An inquest was held and verdict rendered !.
accordance with these facts. Both parties CHARGED
with this strangely diabolcal murder, after hayiDo
made confession, were lodged in the Jail at Shelby
n c., to await richly punishment-tIe
highest known to the law.
If our statement be correct and we have il
from very reliable authority-this outrage is Ger.
tainly unparalleled in our annals of crime.-York
