Sumter Watchmdn: 1t being reported
that the body OF an infant was buried in
the garden of r. colored man in town. q
coroner's jury was summoned, who pro-
ceeded to the place anr found the body
of a finely developed child, supposed TO
be about four or five days old. It was
buried about twenty feet from the back
door OF the house in shoe box, the lid of
which was we'll secured with strong
s~iEe cord. the grave being about two
feet deep and covered with straw. From
all of the circumstances and the evidence
shown, not one Of the Jurors could doubt
but that thero had been foul play, but
they failed to reach any decision, two of
them dissenting on the ground that suf-
ficient evidence had not been adduced to
warrant them in returning o verdict
against any particular person. There Is,
however, but little doubt that the daugh-
ter OF the colored man referred to above
Is the mother Of the child, aud that she
either caused or connived at its death.
Both sho and her mother have run off
and cannot be found. Her father denies
having any knowledge of the whole
affair, even to tho whereabouts OF his
wife and daughter. We understand the
Governor has been (or will be) requested
to offer reward for their apprehension.
