A Horrible Deed, and a Dreadful Mys.
t0fV.

Correspondence Of the Chicago Evening Journal. ]
BURLINGTON, Iowa, April Sd, 1860.
The particulars Of a most horrid deed
Of outrage and murder, which occurred
near Ottumwa, Iowa, are agitating the
people along the line of the railroad
from here to Ottumwa. 1t appears that
during week before last, two strange
men, with ayoung woman of very inter
csting appearance, arrived at Ottumwa
in double wagon. The men pretended
that the young woman was a sister, but
while stopping at hotel over night, it
became evident from Il cir actions that
they were her seducers, aud she their
miserable victim. On Friday morning
the body Of the young woman was found
in the Dcs MONIES river, dead and bear
ing evidences OF having been foully muir
deIed, her skull being broken in and
fir gcr-marks being visible upon her
throat. The men were missing, and
there is no doubt that they murdered
her in order to get lid Of their ruined
victim.
1t was afterwards discovered that she
had been murdered 10 field, about a
mile from Ottumwa, board covered
with blood and human hair being found
there, as well as pools of blood on the
ground. They no doubt murdered her
there, and then conveyed the body to
the river and cast it into the stream. A
man was arrested the next day, but il
turned Out that he was not one of the
two who were seen with the woman.
At last accounts party was securing
the country west Of Ottumwa, in pur
suit of the murdcrets.
It seems that the Young woman an
swered to the name of Dora-that from
conversation at Ottumwa, it is probable
that she was from Rockford, Illinois
She was Of fair complexion, good look
ing, hair auburn or sandy, five feet two
or three inches high, eighteen or nine
teen years old, and would probably
weigh lao pounds-hands indicating
that she had not been accustomed tc
much labor. One Of the men gave hi
name reluctantly, as Moore.
There is an awful mystery connected
with the seduction and fate of thi.
young woman, which it is hoped will b.
cleared up sooner or later, and the
heartless monsters who sre guilty o.
her rum and murder be brought to jus.
