negro labor, haabeen unable to get along I
witn them as servants; hence the negroes
in her neighborhood despised her. and this
'is supposed to be the animus ot.the conspi
racy. The facts are as follows, and. prove
one of the most diabolical conspiracies .on
record: On the 30th . of : May . Mrs. . Pierce
Sve premature birth to twins. The chil
en were born dead and were placed in a
small box for burial, but before they wero
buried neighborhood gossip had' charged
that the twins were born alive and the mo
ther had destroyed them by burning. This
L coming to the ears of the parents the box
containing the bodies was kept,and at their
request a number of persons inspected it.
Last Thursday, it being supposed the slan
der was refuted, the bodies were buried.
Yesterday a warrant was sworn out by a
negro woman charging Mrs. Pierce - with
murder. A box was brought nere by tne
officer making the arrest, which - was sup
posed to nave contained the bodies, but an
examination by medical experts developed
the fact 'iiat it contained the remains of a
chicken. One of the negro witnesses' pro
duced charred bones, which Bhe swore was
the carcass of One of the children, and was
taken from the fire in Pierce's house. These
bones were clearly proved to be those of a
cat. From the testimony it was evident
that the bodies of the children, as buried by
the father on Thuraday,had been unearthed,
the remains taken from the box and re
placed by those of a chicken.
