From the Little Rock Gazette Of Friday.l
A man nsaned Hall separated from
his wife Martha two or three years
since at Hot Springs. She afterward
married colo1ed man. The latter left
her, and Martha married another man
Of color named Bradshaw, and both
have since been living shout half mile
from the villsge of Eot Springs. The
first husband OF Martha, accompanied
by their son John Hall, and two men
named Barrow and Brown, few nights
since, took ii into their heads to kill
Martha and her black paramour. For
that purpose they went to the house of
the latter, but Bradshaw, the negro hus- |
band, escaped through the rear of the |
house. The parties then shot Martha |
several times, severely, if not fatally |
wounding her.
All four of the men were arrested and |
are held to answer for the deed. We
get the above from a private letter to |
Hon. John J. Sampler, member of the
house.

a hOrrid scene Of cannibalism was
enacted in Tralee a few days ago. The |
principal actor in it was a pig-jobber, /
who had long been completely absorbed 4.
in the qualification of animal desires 1
and passions. This tvvO-footed brute
came home drunk to his poor old moth
er, who had passed the allotted "three-
score years" and the old creature re-
with him. A row ensued,
n which the mother was knocked \
lown on the floor, and by sheer force
lne of her legs was broken in two places.
This not satisfying him, he commenced
10 eat flesh OF her arm. A Watchman,
named Mara, passing at the time, was
attracted by the wOman's screams to
the house, and on Mara forcing open the
door he saw him actually eating the
flesh, as il he had taste for il. The
watchman not being able to rescue the
poor creature from his savage gIuttOny,
be went OFF for another watchman, and
On their returning 10 the house he was
81 the same inhuman feast, and his face
and breast were all smeared with blood.
Word was sent to the police, and the
on coming 10 the house,
secured him. The cOolness o. the ruff
an was extraordinary, for re had the
8udacity 10 prefer 2 charge of assault
against Mara for attempting to make
him desist when he first entered and
saw the horrible repast be was indulg-
ing in. The poor woman was conveyed
to the county infirmary and placed
under the care Of DR.. Lawler, where, on
examination, her body was found to be
lacerated; the bone of one
arm up to the elbow was nearly
bare of flesh and the sinews Of
The other were quite exposed. It is
thought she can hardly survive the treat
ment of her cruel son. Der depositions
were, Of @urse, taken, and the prisoner,
who had been in the Bridewell was
to the county jail for trial at
the assizes,
