BOILED TO DEATH.
n 1O-Year-Old Boys Horrible Crime
in lodge County

EASTMAN, GA, Feb. 3.-The journal of
this city prints the following this week;
The horrible result of placing whisky
within the reach Of those unqualified 90
judge of its proper use, is shown in the
terrible death Of three children of jim
Pace, a colored man living near Long
View, in this county.
Hubbard liarrell, about 10 years Of age,
the perpetrator of this blood-curding
crime, is brother of Jim Pope's wife, and
lives with his parents in that neighborhood.
One day last week a party of negroes EN-
ployed in the tnrpentiue business gave
Hubbard bottle of whisky, which soon
put the devil in Young America. He had
seen neighbor killing hogs a few days
before, and the idea occurred to the
drunken boy that he would go over TO his
sisters house and have some fun out Of her
children after the fashion of hog killing
Pope and his wife were some distance away
from the house when he arrived, so he pro-
ceeded at once to carry out tho tiendish de-
sign.
He prepared a kettle of boiling water,
and with pan poured it upon the children,
having first stripped them of all their
clothing. The largest child was soon
scalded TO death the next resisted, but he
succeeded in beating its brains out with
casting, and then threw its body in the ket-
tie of boiling water. The third attempted
to escape, but was caught, and when the
parents, attracted by the children's cries, ar
rived on the scene, they found him holding
the child by the ankles and thrashing 1t
against the bedstead and on the floor.
Tue two scalded children were actually
boiled until the flesh sloughed off when they
were handled, and the babys head is almost
a jelly from the beating it received.
