The MEDINA MuRDER.-The ac-
count of the whipping to death of a
child three years old by its father, a
clergyman, because it would not say
its prayers, near Medina, published
IN the Union yesterday, awakened
the greatest indignation Of our citi-
zens against the inhuman father.
The report was hardly credited, so
unnatural and monstrous was the
crime committed. We blush to say
it, but the most sickening and dread
full part of this unparalleled horror
was not published. Lindsley's Chats
the monsters name statement before
the Coroner's jury, given yesterday,
is corroborated by other witnesses
before the jury. The body of the
child told more plainly and pathetic
ally than words could of the terrible
punishment it had.undergone. Sew
eral of its fingers were broken, and
the blood had oozed from every pore.
TO conceal the crime the father tied
the little ones hands behind its back
and placed it in its coffin. While
physicians were making a post NOR
tenn examination of the body, he sat
by, coolly looking at the proceed
ings. After a while he spoke and
asked them if they had not carried
"this thing about far enough" The
physician discovered no disease about
the child; it died solely from ex-
cessive and cruel punishment. The
little one would have been three
years old next August-whipped to
death because it would not say its
prayers. We are told that Lindsey
justifes his horrid work. He thinks
it was his duty to punish the child
until his will was broken and be
obeyed. Lindsey was arrested yes
terday and committed to jail in
Albion. 1t was with the utmost
difficulty that the officers who had
him in charge could keep the citi.
zens of Medina and neighborhood
from lynching the murderer on the
spot. Lindsey is a man about five
feet eight inches in height, well pro
=
portioned, has black whiskers, and
dark complexion. He has the ap
pearance of a man of violent temper
As to his character hitherto we know
nothing against him. He has farm
and is reported to be man of some
means. He has not charge of ar
established church, but breaches oc
casionally-is what is called Mis-
sion clergyman. The murder is the
all-absorbing topic of Orleans county
and the passions Of the people have
not yet cooled sufficiently to allow
them to look upon the affair calmly
and say what should be done to this
man who has so grossly outraged
their feelings and dignity.-Rocheste1
