Mrs. Bette Foley and her daughter,
Fannie, aged sc, were murdered in their
beds, at Liberty, last Monday night, by
unknown parties. The ladies were sleep
ing together, when a front window of the
house was broken in and both were shot
to death as they jumped from the bed and
attempted to escape. Mrs. Foley's son,
William, was the first to discover the
dead bodies. He had taken his youngest
sister to a neighbours to spend the night,
and when he returned home he found his
mother and eldest sister murdered Rob-
berry is supposed to have been the motive
for the crime, as about $50 were taken.
Young Foley is suspected of being the
guilty party, it being known that he had
been begging his mother to divide her
property among the children.
Capt. Thomas w. Cassell, superinten-
dent OF the Confederate Home, was here
Monday attending to some business in
the probate court. Capt. Cassell is being
urged by his friends for the appointment
to the wardenship of the state Psniten-
tiary. He is a man of fine executive abil-
ity, a good business man, and conscien-
tious in everything he undertakes. Should
G~overnor-elect Stephens see fit to give
him the place, Capt. Cassell would reflect
great credit upon the governors admins
t%ratiou. As superintendent OF the Home
he has demonstrated an ability and devo.
ton to duty hat has endeared him to
every friend OF that institution. His en-
dorsements for the position are coming
voluntarily from every section of the
state. Should he be appointed, the Home
would suffer a great loss, and many would
regret to see him sever his connection
Herewith, but they feel that the four
years of valuabl work at the Home enti-
ties Captain Cassell to higher honors and
a more remuneTative position. His adj
minlstration OF the affairs of the Home
meets the endorsement of its inmates,
managers and friends.
