HORRIBLE IN The EXTREME!
A Hellish Deed by a Fiend Incarnate.

Never in tue annals of crime was
recorded a more horrible and revolving
deed than the one committed near
Biloxi last Saturday. girl scarcely
In her teens is cruelty outraged and
murdered. The victim of unnoly lust
was a school girl thirteen years old.
Christina Winterstein BY ma. ~ and a
pupil OF the Biloxi public school, and
on the day she met such a horrible
fate she had come to Biloxi to practice
for the closing exercises of the school.
After accomplishing her mission she
started on her return home, little
dreaming ere the sun set she would
stand before her Maker. When the
girl failed to arrive at home at the
proper time her parents became some
what alarmed and some members OF
the family were sent in search of her.
They came to the home OF Mr.. Collins
looking for the little girl, having found
her hat in the road coming down. This
gentleman then started out and after
a brief search he found blood In the
road, which gave him and a compan.
ion a clue to follow, and found the
body Of the child about a hundred
yards from the road still in death.
There were evidences OF a struggle
on the side OF the road near where the
iend first attacked his little victim,
and there was blood from there to
where her body was found. Her re-
mains were found at 5 p. m. There
were marks on her face where she had
been apparently struck with a mans
fist, another mark on her breast, and
the top of her head bore the mark of
a blunt instrument of some sort, her
scalp being laid open, and her skull
fractured. The shock she sustained
from the last injury would have been
sufficient under the circumstances to
have caused death. Her books, wrap
and umbrella were found piled up
within about ten feet of her corpse,
showing that the murderer had been
most deliberate in the commission Of
his most heinouS crime.
1t Is not positively known who the
perpetrator of this foul crime is. but
woe unto the guilty wretch if caught.
Several negroes are suspected OF being
the authors. Are we in favor of lynch
law? In such cases as this, we I'M
hesltatingly answer YES! And we
give notice to the sniveling hypocrites
who profess to love the negro that just
so long as the black brutcs outrage our
women and children mob law will pre-.
vail. Amen!
