Il Brutal Murder Of an Infant By its
Father.

A man named William joy, says the s abash,
t1nd.) lat<1igeartr, WAS sentenced on Saturday
week to eighteen years confinement in the pcni-
Tertiary, for burning bis own child to death.
The crime Was committed in the fall Of 1857,
but coucealed BY the fami!y through fear Of the
father, till his arrest for another offence lately
care them opportunity to tell it without fear.
The principal witness against him WIS his little
daughter Nancy, whose story to the jury is thus
given by the I.ttl|igenctr:
Her little brother John, child about four
months old, WIS quite unwcll, md Ind been 80
for some days, und was consequently. .frctful, and
had cried considerably during the night and dis
surbcd her father. Early ID the morning her
father called to her and told her to ret up and
make frc. She did so, made the fire Princi-
paily Of brush, because there was no other
wood prepared After the fire began to burn,
the child continued to cry and fret, her father
bccamc curagcd. and snntched the child from, its
mothers arms, tore every particle Of clothing
Of it, and then took it by one arm and one Lex,
md held it over the fire until it WIS burned in
several places to n blister. He then struck the
little sufferer two blows with his hand, leagipg
upon its body the marks of his fingers, and then
threw it into the cradle or led. His wife and
daughter struggled to get the child away from
him, bnt were unable to do so, and when Mrs.
Joy found that he WIS going to burn the child
to death. she ran ont Of the house to prevent
seeing the sight, and to get out of hearing Of the
child's scrcmes. Joy took down his gun and
pointing it al her compelled her 10 come it. he
then left the house and did not return, as VIC
understand for day or two. -Four days aftcr
this terrible scene the little suffering child died
and was buried. None but joy md lis wife and
two young daughters knew anything about the
cause Of his deuth. The neiEhboring women,
who came in and assisted 10 lay out the child,
found i, 50 mortified and decayed that they
could not wash it, or evcn take Oft the clothing
upon it, Joy told bis wife and daughters thai
if ever ther said word about it be would kill
them. and they believed him, and 30 kept the
horrible secret.
The Lt<'liyt"t<r Of later date says that Jos
was sent to the penitentiarr from TINT county in
company with three other criminals, and that
they abused him while going to the depot, and
Blnckman, tho murderer Of Irster, tried to trim
him up. Howard taunted him continually. The
wretched child murderer endured it ali without
aword of reproaeh or resentment. In the Jail
he vas Unused by the other prisoners, who made
IN eEiry Of him. and bent it.

The FREQ State movement in Missouri gathers
momentum every day, md no earthly agency
can avert or postpone its final triumph Such
victory as that Of Monkay last is Of incalcu.
liable service to the cause, 1t induces slayc-
