ROASTED A LITTLE Roy,
Fiendish Act of n COIOrcd Girl Near

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 15,-The Leon
County Commissioners met in regular ses-
sion on Monday and quite number of
people from various sections of the county
were in town, as usual Those from the
north end of the county told of a horrl-
Bile crime recently committed near Moe
casin Gap, on the plantation of Luke b.
Raney, by a negro girl. aged IS, and nam
ed Carrie Sampson.
The story was told about as follows:
The girl was nursing a baby boy for her
aunt wife of Nillepigru Bentley. Some
time since she cut off his ears
with duh case knife, and
otherwise mutiated his person. When
questioned about it, she said the dogs
had found the body asleep and chewed off
his ears. and one dog was actually killed
for the mutilation of the child.
Every person on the premises Old enough
to work daily went out into the fields 40
tend the growing crops, leaving Carrine
monarch of all she surveyed, including the
child, and only a few days ago she de-
liberately covered the baby up with the
ashes in the fire place, which were mixed
with live Goals of fire, and took seat
on the door step, where she could hear, the
screams of the roasting boy, which finally
came to be only groans, as the roasting
process progressed, and when these ceased.
she ran screaming to nearby field and
and told the mother that a neighbor's boy
had burned her child to death
When the screaming, frantic mother
reached the cabin, she found her baby dead
on the fire, literally roasted alive.
Notwithstanding the fact that these no.
torious barbarities have been traced to
Carrie, and she admits her guilt, no legal
steps TO punish the girl have been taken.
Her cruel acts are the talk of the neigh
