Mad Negro Woman Roasts Alive Her
own Child.

New Iberia, La, June 27.-Early
this morning the neighbors Of Mary
Patterson, a well known negro woman
residing in De Ruoen, village near
this place, was awakened by plaintive
cries. Thinking little Of the noise,
the sleepy inhabitants turned over and
went to sleep again.
A tragedy was being enacted. En-
ragged at trifiing act of disobedience
the woman had beaten her ten-year-
old daughter into insensibiilty. Not
content with this her mind conceived
an unheard OF plan Of cruelty.
Placing the child in a corn sack,
she carried the quivering bundle in
to the yard and suspended It from a
low limb of a tree. Piling huge guam
titles OF brush and wood beneath, she
started a blaze. The growing warmth
soon revived the suffering child, and
plaintive, but smothered cries began
to issue. To put stop to these the
fiend secured a quantity of peppers
and threw them in the fire. Fumes
from these and the growing heat soon
rendered the child unconscious. Stand
ing by with iendish satisfaction
the woman watched the flames eat
through the sack and saw the dead
form Of he daughter fall into the
flames aud burn to a crisp.
When the unheard Of act was dis
covered the woman was arrested and
placed in the parish prison. she con
fessed her guilt, saying that the child
was hers and she could do with Il as
she pleased.

promptly carried out.

singular malady known as writer s

nervous disease. he applied himself TO
the task Of restoring the shattered

in almost every instance by deity rub

The remedy has been thoroughly test

physicians. and their approval OF IT is

method of treatment In all its details.
