A Punishment Worse Than Death.

An execution to which more than pass
ing interest attaches will take place in
Windsor, Vermont. The condemned
person Is Emelihe NJ. Meaker, of Water
bury, who was convicted of the murder
Of an orphan girl thirteen years old,
Alice Meaker by name, April %, 1880.
The wretched woman protested her in-.
nocence on the occasion to set aside the
verdict, as she has always done, but was
sentenced to be hanged in the prison at
Windsor on the last Friday of May,
1883. The Grim for which son of
Mrs. Meaker, Almon Meaker, is already
under sentence Of death, was one Of the
most horrible in even the criminal his
tory of Vermont. The child was half
sister to E. o. Meaker, husband Of
Emeline, and was an inmate of their
household, where she was severly abused
and maltreated, being trented, indeed,
as slave by Mrs Meaker and Almon.
Almon was n half witted, plant tool in
the hands of his mother. Mr.. Meaker il
believed to be innocent Of all completely
in either the abuse or the murder of the
child. The child was taken from bed
and dressed, q sack was tied over her
head, and she was taken in a wagon to q
of strychnine was given her, and she was
left to die in q swamp. The crime WAS
,''''""'vely fixed upon the two wretched
prisoners, 'ud nothing can now save
them from ne terrible consequences.
The time allowed the condemned to pre-
pare for death is 50 long that the execu-
ton will undoubtedly be welcomed as O
