petrafcr Hanged 60 q Tree.

Last night horrible crime was commit
ted in Prince Georges County, Nd, and the
perpetrator within q few hours thereafter
suffered death, although not by the hands of
the law. A Mr.. Nelson, who few years
since came To this section OF the country
from the north, purchased portion of the
Motley Hall estate, in Maryland, nearly OPP
polite Alexandria, and about miles from
This city, since which time he has been en-
gagged in improving the place. He had In his
employ a young negro, named Simms, about
q years of age. Last night Mr.. Nelson had
occasion to come to this city. and about mid
night the negro, Simms, taking advantage
Of his absence, and the lady being alone and
unprotected went to the house, and entering 1t
committed q shoe king outrage upon her. He
lett the house, but a short time afterwards
returned and repeated his fiendish act. Mrs.
Nelson then fled to a neighbor's house, and
informed them of what had occurred. Simms
was taken into custody at an early hour this
morning and carried before r. Walter
Brooke. esq, magistrate, who deputised
Curtis Smith, as constable, to take him to
jail. On the road, however. Smith was
overpowered by a mob of indignant Mary
landers, and the prisoner taken away from
him, and in a short time thereafter the cul-
prit was hanging to a tree within one hun
dred yards of the place where he committed
the outrage. When our informant left that
neighborhood the lifeless body was still
swaying back and forth in the March winds.
