in stove.

Pikeville KY, July 16.-News reached
here from Coeburn, Va, that Mary Snod-
grass was hanged there Friday for the
murder of her six months old child by
burning it in a stove. The woman was 2S
years old.
The Snodgrass woman was a disrepu-
table character. and was compelled to
leave Pikeville on tnat account. She
went to Coeburn, Va, where her child
was cared for by negroes until six
months old, when it was turned over to
the mother She tried to get rid of the
child in various ways. The county Judge
told her she would have to provide for
1t and she took it home. One night some
people living near her heard the little
one screaming. Black smoke was issu-
ing from the chimney The door was
burst open to see what the trouble was.
The child had been placed in the fire
and the mother was holding 1t in the
flames with a long iron poker 1t was
burned almost to ashes. The inhuman
mother was arrested. The infuril,ad
people wanted to lynch her, but the
promise OF speedy justice caused them to
allow the law to take its course. She was
convicted of murder in the first degree.
The parents of the woman live in this
county. She was married to a worthless
man when about 16 years old and soon
separated from him.
