MURDER OF CHILD BY ITS FATHER
James lie Vance, negro was brought up
from Hammond on last Sunday, charged
with the murder ofhis own child. little girl
only years of age. IT is said he took board
about or inches wide and an inch thick
and beat the child until il was almost dead.
he then tied its hands behind it, tied rope
around its ankles, and, taking il to a well
reversed IL, and let il down into the well
head foremost, and dipped il up and down
until his numerous prOpensities were fully
satisfied. He then took It out, laid IL on the
ground, and like an unfeeIing brute, gaZed
on 1t in its last grasping agOnies of death.
There were two or three negro women pre-
sent, and among them the mother of the
child, and, we are told, not one OF them raised
voice against IL. The cause of this brutal
treatment of the child was, the father had
purchased 10 cents worth of crackers and
sent them home by the child to the mother
who pretended to be sick. When the father
returned home, the mother complained of
not having had onything TO eat and declared
that the child did not give them to hef The
child insisted to the last that il did, and sub
sequent inquiry has proved the truth of the
ch1ld's statement, and the falsity of the
mothers statement.-Amite LAY Democrat
