The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1879-06-26

THE North has been SO Intently
watching the progress OF outlawry and
crime in the South that it has sadly
neglected countless blOOd-stsins on its
own gsrmert'. The World says there
are in the city of New York alone
more outrageous aHd bloody crimes
committed in any given year than there
are in the whole South, and yet the
South is continually held up by por-
ton of the people and the press of
the North as the abode of crime and
bloodshed. The Courier Journal has
done good thing in holding the mir
ror up to the NntierD eye A letter
writer tells of devilish deeds of BIS
ton. He says:
In this city, Thursday afternoon, as
two children, under thirteen years Of
age, Fred w. D:Cain and Oven Mona
han, were going to school. they had
quarrel, and the latter {; lily stabbed
the former, once in the arm and again
pocket knife. The boys had been
goUd friends before tue encounter.
Monahan WAS locked mp and D.Cain
sent tn the City Hosp t Il. List Sun-
day evening woman threw her infant
out of third-siory window in the
north part of the C IT,, and the child
WAS picked up crushed and in de-
plOrable C indItinn, but with life still
In its b,dy. A few weeks ago a
student of medicine IN the Boston Uni
Ve'sity was arrested for destroying his
listers life by giving her poison. Two
weeks ago, John N. Buzzell and Ca
rIe Po,t II, an unmarried mother, came
over from Chelsea and tried to dispose
of an infant ten or twelve days old.
None of the public institutions would
Iake the little one. Il III Ill said 1t
must be got nd of somehow, so he
tired q carriage and drove to the
woods in Walden. Miss Porter asd
her child being witt him. Olairiv-
ing in the woods, he 'ok the infant,
put his finger down its throat and
strangled it. The inhuman brute then
threw the child's body into the bushes
and drove away. Mss Porter, on b.
ing arrested, made a full confession.
and said that Buzz III was the father (
the baby. Buzz-ll said he had been
drinking, and on being locked up gave
\ pretty clear account of the affair.
Then there was Jennie Clarke, who was
found In a trunk at Lynn a few months
ago. Though, after hundred fall
ures, she was ider fed and buried By
her family, nothing has been accom-
murderers. A few MOI tbs earlier q
woman was found murdered and float
ing in the water near Bacon street.
Those who killed her have not been
found out, though the police hsYe pre-
tended to spend much time on the
case. A great mystery was the death
of Mrs. Whitman, in the Bunker Hill
district, who was thought to have
been murdered by her daughter Mabel,
aided by DR.. Spears. The girl pur-
chased poison, arsenic, at drug store,
and also new teapot to make some
tea in for her mother. Her mother
died after drinking the a made for
her by Mabel, and post mOrtem exam
nation showed considerable quaint
ties of poison inr Ms. Whtiman's
stomach. Nevertheless Mabel was
discharged after preliminary examin-
alton. A few months before that oc-
currence, a child living in the vicinity
of Columbus Avenue shot and killed
another chIld. And the crime of
Piper, who murdered little Mable
Young at the Warren Avenue Church,
are still freshly remembered.
