"Only what she has told me herself,
that her mother died in poverty ; after

died Mrs. Willet took Ada to her own

"What was her name !"
"Smith."

Never, in all his recollection Of his

porter the facts of one of the most damn

the Mount Lebanon road, about ten
miles beyond Minden on last Wednes-

CoLoRED BOY AGED EIGHTEEN,
whose name he could not remember, who
had raped colored girl about six years
of age and afterward killed her and
threw the body into sink, about eighty
yards from the cabin of her parents.

From Mr.. Riley's statement, the partic.
ulars of which were gained from the
people he met, it seems that the parents
Of the unfortunate girl had left her and
the boy at home the Sunday before to
take care of their baby while they wen,

cabin after church they found only tue
baby, the boy and girl having turned W
