QUITE an excitement was caused IN
Benwood on Saturday last, over th" DIS
covery Of two dead infants, covered up IN
some loose dirt in the cellar OF Il house
which had been vacant for near two
months. \ man by the name of Strobe,
and his wife and daughter, had lived IN
| the house for about eight months preEI-
Gus TO the finding of the infants. n man
by the name of Ford had moved into the
house few days ago, and while cleaning
10 the cellar on Saturday last, made inc
above mentioned discovery. \ coroner
Jury was impunnelled on Sunday last, and
quite large number OF witnesses were
summoned to appear before that august
hpdv. DR.. Ford testified that one of the
children might have been placed where
it was found perhaps year
ago. and the other one from
Two to six months, and quite large
number of witnesses were examined
whose testimony We cannot give, and
from what we can learn from reliable
parties who were present ard heard II All
would throw but little light upon per
haps dark deed that may forever be
,hrouded in mystery, until the ange.
Gabriel shall appear and call the world
to iud .mcnt. But Notwithstanding the
conflicting testimony, the indefinite char
meter of it, and the entire absence OF any
thing positive, the jury returned two
presentmcnts, the first enc charging NJ i''
Caroline Strobe with being guilty o
numbering her child in June 1874, and
the other charging her with having MUIR
drrcd her child in March, 1873 and upon
these prcscnLmcntS II warrant was Issued
by Squire McGilton for the arrest {"
Miss Caroline Strobe, ana on Monday
she was arrested and put upon prcIimln.
AIRY trial Tor the murder OF two infants
one in June 1874, and one in March
1878. The tiinl lasted about all day
Monday, and quite large number OF
witnesses were examined. The same evil
dcncc was given in the case on Nonaay
that was given at the Coroncr's inquest,
on SUNDAY, with some additional crcum
stances tortured out Of the cXcItcmrn!
that prevailed, but after hearing 1t all
the Justice discharged Miss strobe. MIR
Strobe. the father of the girl is II hard
working man and we'll thought of and
it is hardly probable that If Nil
Strobe murdered her children
! she would move away
from the house and leave them in the
cellar where they would be sure to be-
discovered. From The testimony, it Is
possible that Miss Strobe might have
yiven birth to one child in 1874 and also
one IN 1875, but the evidence in regard
to that was entirely Circumstantlal and OF
II very indefinite character, but with re.
gard to her having put them out of the
way by violence, there was not one ray
of proof. The whole thing Is Il strange
mystery and may always remain so.
