DEATH.
1t will be recollected that on the evening OF
last Thanksgiving day, Nov. 4th,) horrible
outrage was committed upon the person of a
girl aged about six years, named Octave Ros.
sesu, the only daughter Of Mr.. Charles Ros-
seau, stone cutter residing at the corner OF Is
street north and New Jersey avenue, and that
notwiths landing the efforts of his friends and
physicians her death followed the following
night
An inquest was held by Coroner Woodward
on Saturday, Goth, when it appeared from the
evidence that the little girl was playing on the
bank in the rear OF her fathers residence, about
sundoWn, and that about that time she was
missed, but returned home between eight and
line O'Clock, in an almost insensible condition,
when 1t was ascertained by her mother what
had happened. DIR. G. NJ. Ford was called in,
and afterwards DR.. ]. +. May, and every thing
possible was done to save the little cne's life:
but on Friday night she died in coavulsions.
This outrage sent q thrill OF horror through
out the community, and Immediately efforts
were made to arrest the guilty parties FL
nally suspicion fell upon John f. Lusby, q
married man employed in the bollsr.makers
department OF the Navy Yard. He was ar.
rested by Mr.. w. =. Wood, superintendent of
The Old Capitol prison, with posse Of officers,
circumstances which led to his arrest then
were that he came home on the night Of tho
occurrence with his hands bloody and W hat
appeared to be blood on his coat and shirt He
was brought out OF the prison on 4 writ of ha-
6eas corpus, and for several days the examina-
ton was held before Judge Fisher, which re-
suited in his discharge.
T Notwithstanding the discharge Of Lusby,
many believed HIM guilty, and Messrs A. R.
Allen and John H. Wise, well known as eff
cient detectives under the old police system,
determined TO keep an ey on him, calculating
that sooner or later, that some circumstances
would occur 10 warrant his arrest if he
was really the guilty party. They have been
on the trail of tbs case ever since the perpe-
tration Of the crime, and have recently become
in possession Of facts which caused his re.
arrest.
Lusby, about two weeks since, enlisted in
the I'd District regiment; and the officers above
named on Tuesday proceeded to Alexandria
when they explained their business to Gen.
Slough. who Immediately gave them an order
for Lnsby's arrest anywhere within the lines
ard they Immediately proceeded to the camp
OF the regiment in company with Lieut.. John
\. Dom, who rendered valuable assistance to
the officers.
Lusby at the time was absent, but in short
time was brought TO the camp, when he was
arrested on warrant issued by Justice Kin
sey. He appeared to be taken completely BY
surprise, and when informed CT the nature OF
the charge he grew sullen. The officers, with
Lieut.. Dom, carried him to Alexandra, where
about 3 o'clock he was committed to the slave
pen, where he remained until f. O'Clock, when
he was brought to this city and taken to JUS.
tice Johnson's office, (Justice Kinsey being
absent at the time) and Justice johnson COM
mitted him to jail for a further hearing.
