HORRIBLE, IP TRUE-4 Self-CoHfefsed Nor
derer Of ElereH Of HIS Legitimate ChiltreR.-
The Lebanan pa News contains the following
startling information: "We are credably in
formed by q gentleman that the family of Mr..
Isaac Wagner, a we'll known distiller OF whisky
in East Hanover district, this county, some few
years ago returned home from near Springfield,
Ohio, about three weeks since. In q converse
ton he had with them yesterday they stated
that after going from this county they went on
q farm purchased by Mr.. Wagner, within six
miles of Springfield. The cause for their re-
turn is, rs they stated, because Mr.. Wagner was
to be hanged to-day for the murder OF an infan.
child OF which ne was the father. Rumors OF
his being the father OF several children by wo-
men in his employ while residing here, were
prevalent 1t the tune, but their disappearance
was never accounted for. Since his residence
in the west he 10 alleged to have been guilty OF
the same thing, and his last attempt At Destroy
ing the life OF infant was detected by his sons
who brought him TO justice. The excitement
incident to the occasion brought out an alleged
attempt at lynching him, which was avoided By
his copfessing 70 having destroyed the lives OF
eleven illegitimste children, OF which he wac
the father, at various times. Upon this confes-
sion he was sentenced TO be hung, and the day
OF execution is to-day. These are the facts q
they have been given to us, and We publish
them for what they are worth"
