Two fearful crimes were commit,el nj
Austin. Texas last Thursday night. ".
ii. Hancock. a wcll-to-do carpenter was
awakened by groans. Entering his
wi!c's chamber adjoining, he found the
vacant bed covered with blood spots,
and followed the trail ont OF the front
door, around the house into the back
yard, where he found his wife weltrr.
ing in q pool Of ka5vi. She had been
struck twice across the head auI face
with a blunt axe. and her skull 4 tctur-
ed. Although still alive, the physici ans
say the lady will surely die from her
wounds. Mrs. Hancock Is aged 40 AID
still handsome. Sine bore an mblrm.
ished character. In the midst of the
great excitement produced Iy this out.
rage, citizens were appalled, at learning
oi n still greater crime pcrpetrati Il
Hoout the SHINE hour, several squares
distant. Al | O'Clock, Mrs. Philips
was awakened by thcr cries Of her grand.
son. Entering her son James Phillips
room, She found the infant on the bed,
covered with blood. aud Phillips lying
scnsclcss from IA terrible blow across the
head. Ella Phillips, his wife was mis- =
ing. A frightened neighbor followed
the bloody trail again. and found the
body lying in the buck yard Of the ad.
joining premises. Death had resulted
from n blow Of the forehead with an
axe. Across tho body lny heavy mills.
Her person had been outraged. There
is no clue TO either crime. The excite.
mcnt on the streets during tbs day has
been very great. Christmas was forgot
ten. The mayor called u meeting Of
citizens at the State ~IIousc, and nearly
1000 attended. A committee Of public
safety wns organized. The feeling over
these last ontngcs IL intense. A house
