PLATTSBURG, N. Y, Aug. q, 1884,
On Tuesday last, Mary Ann La France,
who had been living with Isaac White,
a half breed on the Indian reservation
at Hogansburg, mysteriously disap-
peared. Numerous evidences of foul
play lead to the belief that she has
been murdered by her paramour. A
trail of blood, leading from Whites house
through the lots bach of the premises
with three pools of blood, where some
one who was dragging a bloody body
stopped to rest. We're discovered early
Wednesday morning.
This same %neighber found White in
his field, and the half breed at once
called his attention TO the blood trail
%attributing it TO a horse whose foot
had been cut. The trail stopped after
crossing a fence which had been recent
ly torn down, and where there were
fresh wagon tracks. 1t is believed that
the body was loaded into a wagon at
that point and carried away. Blood was
found on the box and front wheels of
Whites wagon, and also on the handle
and blade of an axe in the house.
White processes to be entirely ignorant
of how the bloody stains came there
and says that he drove Mrs, La France
to Massena on the day she disappeared,
leaving her on the road just outside
the village. She SAT- h would return
Saturday. The woman was in a deli
cate condition at the time. White has
not been arrested, but is under survil-
lance, Efforts are being made to find
the body, which is supposed to have
been sunk, in the St. lawrence River.
