LOUISVILLE, KY, March 5-A Courier
Journal special from Lexington, KY,
says an agent arrived there this morning,
| bringing intelligence of a horrible MUIR
der, which was committed near Manches-
ter, KY, about two weeks ago. A little
girl, aged ten years, daughter of labor
er named Martin Deaten, was taken to
an clubhouse by her step-mother and
there dealt blow on the head which
fractured her skull. To finish the deed
the female fiend placed one end of rope
around the girls neck and the other she
tied to a beam above, and then weighted
the body sufficiently to break the neck.
After finishing the dastardly deed, she
took the body down and placed it in a
| field near by, in which a vicious horse
/ was kept, and sent word to her husband
that his daughter had been killed by the
horse. The suspicious of the neighbOrs
were aroused, and coroner's jury was
| impannelled to hold an inquest on the
body of the girl. Numerous scars on
the body showed how badly she had been
treated during her stay with her step
mother, and the broken neck showed
| plainly that the girl had not been killed
by the horse. The murderess is now in
Jail, awaiting trial.
