for years developed this afternoon. Mrs.
Lizzie Ellis, of Farmyille Va, ag"i u
years, killed her sixteen months o'd
child by giving it laudanum, and th"n
attempted suicide. She made Il tul
confession. saying she had been desert
ed by her husband and could not suppert
her child. She was arrested on tn"
charge of murder. Her ramiiy is well
connected.
A special from Farmvlle tonight says
that the family and friends of Mrs.
Ellis express great surprise at her crime,
and give no reason for supposing that her
husband deserted her. He is said to be
working in Petersburg. He served in
the Spanish war. and regularly sent his
wife part of his pay.
