On the 2Sth of November of last year,
"a most shocking crime was committed
in KirkwOod township, near~the- spot
made historic iu the criminal annals OF
this county by the murder OF Miss Lou
isa Fox by Thomas ID. Carr several years
since. The crime consisted in the throw
ing into we'll bright and interesting
child about six months of age,the iliegiti-
mate child of Margaret Henry. Circum-
stances at the time pointed to the mother
as the guilty party and she was arrested
and taken before Esq. Jonathan Perkins,
who upon the preliminary examination.
held her in the sum of $2,500 for her
appearance at court, and IN default she
was brought to Jail in this place, where
she was confined until the rendering of
the verdict by the jury on Thursday. A
great many witnesses were examined as
| to the facts and circumstances bearing
on the case, but there was no testimony
save that of the accused relating to the
disposition of the child. 1t was in evil
dence that the mother dressed the child
and some time during the afternoon LETT
the residences of her aunt with the Child
| in her arms and returned in the evening
without il. She testified that one Harry
Hart was its father, and that by an
agreement made three weeks before, she
was to meet him at Il secluded spot about
2 o'clock in the day, when he was to
take the child and provide for it, and III
accordance with that arrangement she
did meet him and deliver up the child
1t was also in evidence that Harry Hart
though not supposed to have been in the
neighborhood for several months, was
seen at Butler Station by several partie:
on the morning of the day she was tt
have met him. While no witness othel
than the accused placed Hart nearel
than eight miles to the spot where th'
;; child was found in the well, yet the fac
that he was shown to have been there
together with the apparent absence o
! motive on the part of the mother TO
the murder, weighed upon the minds o
!. the jury and raised a reasonable doub
/, in their minds as to the guilt Of Marga
ret Henry, and verdict OF acquitta
= was therefore rendered.
u The defense was ably conducted b

\ ESQ. The accused, Mrs. Henry, Who
by no means repulsive looking wemal
{, during the entire trial was calm and co
J. lected and did not evince the least fee
n ing until several jurors in the kindne'
s. of their great big hearts, after the vel
B. dict, approached her to tender their CO..
,e gratulations, when tears of gladne
