Brownsville States: A negro girl
about fourteen years of age who resides
| on the place of w. L Anthony, admin
| istered strychnine to two negro children
| last Monday, causing their death in q
| few hours. It was a case of deliberate
murder according to her own confession.
| She states that the poison was given to
| her, by q negro man, whose name she
disclosed, and that it was her plan to
poison the entire family if she succeeded
| in killing the children. 1t is believed
by those who are cOgnizant of the facts
that she was only the tool of older per-
sons who wished to retaliate, for some
| fancied or real wrong, on the unfortu-
nate family. 1t is to be hoped that the
guilty parties may be brought to Justice.
