Horrible Double Crime.

A correspondent Of the Richmond Whig,
writing from Pemberton, Goochland county,
under date of the 18th instant, furnishes the
following particulars of a horrible double
crime perpetratsd in that county:
This very quiet community is much excited
over the discovery on Saturday, the 10th, Of
horrible double crime committed in our
midst. Saturday evening, toward sunset,
Alice Brown, about nineteen years old, daugh-
ter of Claiborne Brown, colorcd shoemaker
living near this place, very excellent citizen
and one enjoying the respect and confidence
of his white neighbors in very high degree,
was sent to the residence of VIM. Mosely,
rather more than mile distant, to collect a
trihing sum of money. The girl did not re-
turn, and next morning her father and friends
turned out in anxious search. They found
her lying half hidden with branches of pine,
stripped, ravished and murdered, scarcely a
hundred yards distant from the highway
Strong suspicion was directed by many coin
dent circumstances toward Henry Fife and
Willis, two young negro men employed on
the farm where the body was found, and a
party of colored men have arrested them, the
second, Willis, after desperate resistance.
He confessed his share in the crime, but states
that Henry killed the girl. Henry refuses to
confess anything. While much sympathy
is felt for the unfortunate father, as well on
his own account as the entirely deserving and
honest reputation of TIE poor girl. by all our
"h::c citizens, there is every probability that
his colored friends, who are in the widest ex-
element, will not leave the punishment of
the ruffians to the tedious course of the law,
but will before many hours hang them both
at some convenient tree.
