THE WooDs TO DIE.--A melancholy case of crime
hss como to light within day or two q. Hsver
hill, Mass. in regard to which "a correspondent
of the Boston TrdpelLer furnishes the following
particulars:
The leasii1g facte are, that the woman, whose
name ia Mary e. Jones, now eighteen years of age,
was married about one year sisce to Daniel Jones,
who subsequently aban oned her, and now re sides
in, or in the vicinity of IIaverhi. About three
months since she gave birth to a female child at
the residence of her father, Mr.. Midget, respec-
table citizen OF Lawrence.
On Saturday, May 2Sth, she left home with her
infant to come to this town, and spsnt the Sabbath
with an Irish family about midway between
hero and lawrence. On Monday, the 30th nit :,
she left with the Intention Of coming to this
place, but before proceeding far turned into the
woods near tho residence Of Brckett Bradley, and
selecting place suited to her purposes, sat down
and nurssd her infant freely, and gathering some
dead grass for its head. laid it down upon south,
ern slope of slight earthly elevation to die OF
hunger and exposure.
This Ia her confession Of the manner In which
tho uuhuman deed WAS done, and from inforIna-
ton otherwise gained, together with the appears
ance of things on the spot, is undoubtedly correct
After perpetratng this cruel deed she came direct
ly to this place, and stopped at the house of John
u. King, Oh Harrison street, whsre she found
home for several weeks last winter, after being
abandoned by her husband at which time her feet
were bsdly frozen by exposure. Inquiry was m ade
for her child to which she replied that 1t had been
dead two weeks.
The circumstances were communicated to
officer Davis, who obtained full confession of
tho crime from her own lips. She accompanied
the officer to the spot, and aided in udng the re-
mains Of her child, which were in g much decavsd
condition, the skull being as bare as though il
had bsen bleached by the sun and rain for years
The woman appeared deeply moved when she be,
held the lifeless remains OF the child OF hcr bosom,
and says the act was perpetrated because she
could not endure the thought of having her child
live, liable to become a degraded and miserable
being like herself She WAS arrested and nmit,
ted to prison.
