Some two months ago, Thomas Deiar- |
nelte on learning the whereabouts Of his sis
ter who had chosen a life Of shame, went /
to the bagnio in which she staid in Dan
willie, Va. and without word shot her I
three times from the effects OF which she /
died in few days. When questioned as
to the cause Of his rash act, he said that
she had disgraced an honorable family aud
that he had done exactly what he came
for. The poor girl while writhing in her
deadly agonies, expressed great concern for
The fate Of her brother and prayed 10 them
around her not to let him suffer for it. I
lie shot me- said she, "but do not blame
him for IT, ! have disgraced my fanily, /
and am the only one for three genera
lions that has," The Courts, however, did /
not think Mr.. Deiarnette had the right to
AXE the matter in his own hands to the ex-
tent Of numbering the poor woman and he
has just been very rightfully sentenced to
he hanged.
