We CLEAN from letter in the Oceola
Sentinel, the particulars of a horrible case
of infanticide. A man named Samuel
Brooks had been GU lty of incest with his
daughter, and on the 10th inst, when her
father alone was present, the daughter gave
birth toa child, which Brooks took, mashed
in its head, and buried it about an inch
under ground so that the hogs could easily
get 10. His daughter-in-law and neigh
Dor woman coming in, found that the child
was born, and had been taken away and
buried. They protested against this, and
prevailed on him to get the child again, so
As to give it decent burial. This was ae-
cordingly done. That night father and
daughter left for parts unknown. When
the coroner went to hold an inquest, the
body had been taken and could not be
found.
