Shocking Murder of a Child.

Our peaceful town was thrown into
great state of excitement on Tuesday
evening last by the following facts in
regard to a homicide committed in
our midst: 1t appears that Luna
McRea, q colored woman living on
Bayou Bartholomew, on what is
known as the Tom Polk place, had
living with her and her family a
mula'to child about seven years old
called jeff This child was missed
by other persons living on the place /;
upon inquiry, it was remembered not
to have been seen since Tuesday Of
last week. The woman was question
ed as to lis whereabouts and stated
that the child had been sent to
Arkansas. She was taken there to
look for it but could not find it, and
her contradictory statements forced
the conclusion that she had made
way with it, She wished to remain
in Arkansas but was brought back
and upon further search the child was
found on Tuesday last in a tiicket
between the Polk and Williams places
on the bayou. The corpse was hor-
ribly mutilated, having its face and
mouth bruised severely and the skull
fractured. Luna McRea and her
husband are in Jail awaiting trial.

The Morehouse Clarion is a real

clearly traced to Sir Philip Francis,
and the Iron Mask has b, en- identified,
satisfactorily enough to our mind,
with one Matthioli of Mantua; but
the maddening mystery and impene-

A Most AtrOc;Ous Crime.
The Criminal summarily Executed.
TOpelou a. Journal, MAY lst !

[OpeIou a, Journal, May lst
One of the most horrible crimes
that it has ever been our duty to
chronicle was committed at Mallet
Woods, in this parish, on Saturday
last, the 24th ult., under the follow
ing circumstances Mr.. George
Lentier, residing in that section, left
bis house early in the morning for
the purpose of assisting Il neighbor
living some distance OF in doing some
work on bouse. leaving at home his
wife and "A child some eighteen or
twenty months old He did not re-
turn until evening, and then IA horri-
ble sight met his eyes. His wife
was lying cold and inanimatc in the
yard, with her head spit open, and a
bloody ak near by An examination
of the premises led to the conviction
that some human fcnd had attempted
to outrage the unfortunate victim,
who had struggled with desperation
with her assalant and had even
lui wv VI bOilIIp NdlcT On uliti, anu
that cnragcd at the determined resist
ance offered him, he seized an AK and
Knocked out her brains. A pair Of
shoes found under the crib gave clue
to the murderer, and other circum-
stanlial evidence induced the neigh
bors to arrest. the next day, a freed
man named Theodore, aged % years.
One side of bis face was scalded, his
pants, which had just been washed,
had pale stains Of blood on them and
a drop or two of blood was found on
one of his feet. Although the MUIR
derer refused to make a full con-
fession, he admitted enough to leave
no doubt in the minds of his captprS
as to bis guilt, and was hanged to
the nearest tree. The execution, we
understand, took place last Monday.
