THE EXECUTION OF JOSEPH go.
PAGE.
The Awful Crime for which -.
Suffered Death

CONCORD, \. H.. March l5.-JoSeph Lapage
alias Joseph Parish. was executed at the state
prison here today, for the murder of Josie
\. langmaid at Pembroke, y. H., on the 4th
OF October 1919. Miss Langmaid. girl OF II,
and daughter of one of the most prominent
citizens OfPembroke, started for school on the
day of the murder, and she was waylaid on
the road: In the evening her body was dis
covered in dense swamp a few rods from
the road. Her head was cut off and missing.
and the body otherwise mutilated evidently,
Tor the purpose of cOncealing the evidence of
brutal crime. The head was found third
of mile distant from the scene of the mur-
der. Lapage, who was a Frenchman, was ar
rested and convicted on circumStantial evi-
dence and sentenced to be executed, January
18Th, 1877: He was granted new trial, which
resulted in similar verdict and sentence
OF execution. Lapage, it was believed during
his trial, murdered Miss Ball, a school teacher
at st. Albans, VT. in 1874, but escaped through
lack of evidence. Previous to his execution
he confessed the murder of both Miss Ball and
Miss Langmald. His whole history is char
acteriZed by acts of excessive brutality

HORRIBLE DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL
Near Rockville last Saturday afternoon. Mr..
keene, who resides just this side of the mill
OF the Messrs. Veirs, had set fire to a field of
grass. After warning the children not to 60
near the fire, the parents returned to their
usual avocations. Mrs. Keen was startled BY
the cries of one of the children, and running
out of the house discovered her little girl,aged
four years, envelOped in the flames. The
mother, at the risk of her life dragged the
child out of the burning grass, but was unable
to strip her of her clothing until she had been
fearfully burned. The child fingered until the
following morning, when death relieved her of
her terrible sufferings Mrs Keene's hands
were so badly burned that it is doubtful il She
will ever regain the full use of them.-MJnt-
