TURNER particulars ol tue mulder Vi 'he
Coy family, charged upon Fred. F
Streeter. These particulars, though
they occurred some time ago, will be in
teresting 10 large number of our read
ers, who knew Streeter. 1t appears
that Mr.. Coy and his wife and boy SLEPT
lin one room. Mr.. Coy was no doubt
killed first, and the struggle then made
probably awoke his wife. The blow
which was fatal and would have killed
Coy, if none other had been inflicted
was in the neck, apparently done with 6
dirk knife which was thrust through his
neck back of the windpipe, completely
severing the arteries. The knife or in
strument seems to have beer turned
while in the wound. He also had sew
eral other cuts. With Mrs. Coy there
seems TO have been a desperate struggle
as the villain inflicted twenty-four wounds
before he succeeded in killing her and
pieces of the same sharp instrument were
left in her skull He finally finished
his victim by cutting in the neck, and
the head of the poor woman was nearly
half severed from the body. The boy,
about seven years Of age, seems not 10
have struggled much. His throat was
cut similar to that of his father, only the
knife was run through the neck and
then cut outwardly, so that his head was
also about half severed from the body.
These are some of the particulars which
are too horribly sickening to dwell upon,
as our readers can well Judge for them
selves.
As has already been stated, the muir
derer attempted to cover his crime by
fire. When the alarm Of fire was first
given, all supposed that the family were
safe, when it was finally ascertained that
they were yet in their sleeping room,
and the belief general that ii dead they
had suffoated. An entrance was imme-
diately effected, and it was not till the
bodies were brought to the open air that
the horrible murder was discovered.
Such was the particulars Of ors Of tn
most horrible of murders ever commit
ted and of which the annals of crime
can hardly produce an equal in cold
blood atrocity, and which is charged up
on Fred. F. Streeter formerly Of this
place, and previously of Brattleboro.
The evidence duplicating him, we have
already published. When his final trial
takes place, we are not informed, but
probably shall be in due time.
Streeter is understood to be deserter
from the army, in which he enlisted in
1861, as a sharp shooter. His standing
while here was not at all favorable, and
he was looked upon by many as a bad
man. The most disastrous fire which
ever happened to this place, and from
which the village has not yet recovered.
was generally attributed to him at the
time, some four years ago. He was
heavily insured, and that was supposed
to have been his motive. He married
wife in Westmoreland, n. H., who died a
year ago, some say of grief at his con
duct; at all events he was not worthy of
her. His life has been reckless, and bis
career seems now soon to have an igno-
minious close.-B. p. Times.
