Special Dispatch to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 12.-Judge Aguer,
the new Judge of the Criminal Court here, to-
day sentenced colorcd woman, Louisa Wal
lace, to be hung for the murder OF her infant
child. This is probably the first time that
woman has been sentenced to be hung IN this
District. The Court, in pronouuctng the SEN
tcncc, stated the terrible truth. that this Of
fcnse was more prevalent. here than in
any other city in this country. He. had
no doubt OF the guilt Of this
party, and, notwithstanding the lapse OF time
between the commission of the offense and the
arrest, aud the efforts Of able counsel, theT had
convicted her. The crime was an evidence Of
the rrdest barbarism, and, II suffered to go I'M
punished by any country, that country would
become field OF blood. The laws of this
country prohibit brutal sports because of the
demoralzing effects upon the nation, and moth
ing could be more demoralizing than the COM
mission of this offcnse Of fnfanticide.
The prisoner was called on to stand up, and
the Court imposed the sentehce that she be
taken to the jail from which she came, there to
be confined until Friday, June 20, 1879. wl1en
she shall, between the hours Of l2 u. aud 2 D.
H., be taken to the place of execution in the
jail-yard, md hung BY the neck until dead.
