SOUTH BARTON.
MURDER OF A CH1LD.-One of the
most cruel cases of infant murder that
has come to our notice, has just occur
red in South Barton. About two years
ago Frank Kimball of that place, mar
ried a girl not noted for amiableness or
chastity, and some time during last win
ter they had child which was sickly,
and seems to have inherited a loathsome
disease. The inhuman mother from the
time of its birth has hated, neglected
and abused it, and has finally succeeded
in forcing it out of the world. The
neighbors, having been informed of the
cruelty have visited the british mother
and tried to persuade her to use it more
kindly, but their entrcaties were una
vailing. A few days. since. the child
died, and those who LAID it out found a
pitiable sight. 1t was covered with
bruises, and the marks Of fingers were
seen upon its legs and arms, where it
had been pinched and roughly handled !;
one arm was broken, and the whole body
of the child was covered with dirt and
filth. The neighbors say that the babe
has been left alone all night, and that
its mother has obliged it to lie for hours
upon its back with its arm under the
body, SO that it could not put its fingers
in its mouth in the vain attempt to obtain
the food required to keep it from famish-
ing. 1t is said that when the child
died, and the mother was notified Of the
fact (not being in the room at the time }
she remarked ..that there was no such
id good news Why the good citi-
zens of that place have tolerated such
cruelty toward fellow being, or still
allow the fendish parents to run al
large is mystery we cannot explain.
