THE CAROLINE MURDER.
We have before published a short ac
count of the murder of John Long, by
Mark L. Beazley, near the Bowling
Green, in Caroline County, Virginia.
The annexed communication for which
we are indebted to the Richmond Star
details in full of the horrid particulars of
the crime.
(From the Star and Transcript.)
Bowling Green, Caroline County,
December 30th, 1S40.
Dear Sir: I have just returned to
"mine Inn" from visiting the wretched
murderer, Mark L. Beazley, who is con
fined in the jail at this place, for taking the
life of John Long. I here has not occur
red in this reeion, within the memory of
the inhabitants, any murder which for its
attendant honors can vie with the one allu
ded to, and for the sake of humanity, it is
to be hoped such another never will darken
the records of crime- The wretched cul
prit confesses every thing keeps nothing
back and one would suppose he was de
scribing an incident to which he was only
a casual observer, rather than an occur
ence in which he was the prominent ac-
a i if i
r. lie sayTs, LiOng anu inuiseii were ai
'ays friends, and ten minutes befare the
"ommission ofthe act, the farthest thing
voin his thoughts, was the destruction of
.on". From his statement, it seems that
ong went to his house about bed time,
id they commenced drinking. A favor
1 2 puppy, belonging to Beazley, got in the
ay of Long as they sat at the fire, which
I s Beazley says) irritated Long, who kick
it the animal out of his way. Beazley en
"5red, struck Long a violent blow with his
SjSr, which felled him to the floor. As soon
V Beazley saw blood oozing from Long's
head, he became alarmed and endeavored!
lowrap mm in a ued-quilt. Long recov
ered a little, and the quarrel was lenewcd,
when Beazley se zt-d an axe and struck
Long two blows on the back of the head,
which felled him to the floor again. Beaz
ley then laid down on the bed, as he
thinks, beside his wife whom he threat
ened, if she should stir, he would kill
and slept until near day- When he arose,
the body7 of Long was stifX and cold. He
then ripped up the floor and put the body
beneath. The murder occurred Fiiday
night; all day Saturday the body laid there,
and the wretched man say s he endured all
the agonies of hell, during the day He
drank deep and freely of ihe damning cup
of in toxication, to keep down the wild
feelings that agitated his bosom. He. was
afraid to flee, for fear ofthe pursuer: he
was afraid to look his fellow man in the
face, lest his guilt should stand in charact
ers of fire burned upon his fun head. At
night, he essayed to move the body, but
the fear that he was watrhed, prevented
him so moving a few things out of the
house, beset it on fire, thinking, poor fool,
he would destroy all evidence of the mur
der, and again breithe freely. But after
the last rafter had fallen in, and the dying
embers had benin to pale, there in the
midst ofthe fire lay unburned, the head
less trunk of John Long! He next be
thought him of removing the body; but,
alter he had raked it irom the ashes, it was
.so hot he had to leave it to cool before he
could remove it. The day was dawninj:
and his work was not accomplished. IK
then dragged it up beside a rail fence, and
there it lay about twenty steps from thr
road all day, a frightful wreck of mortality
the arms burned off, the legs burned off,
and only a small poition of the head cling
ing to the trunk!
At night, he took the body of his victim,
and buried it in a potato hole; but, still,;
the fear that it would be discovered, tor-'
mented him, and he again took it up and
carried it in his arms about two miles
through the dark old forest, and buried it
in a hollow tree!
During the day, Monday, he again went
to the spot where the body was interred,
terrified lest the dogs should, in hunting
Ihe wood, discover his crime. But there
was upon him an Eye, from whose glance
he could not hide himself, and hia own con
science haunted him with its terrible thun
der in gs!
A servant woman, the property of Ro
bert Hudgin, Esq. the Clerk of the Superi
or Court of this counly, and in whoe fam
ly Long had been a sort of supernumerary
mechanic and often an accountant, called
at Beazley's on Sa'urday, and remarked
blood upon the floor, and the appearance of
something like brains around the firt
pltce. Coupling this circumstance in her
mind with the absence of Long though
not breathing her suspicions to Beazley's
wife, she told her husband the fact, who on
Monday told his fears to Mr. Saunders, at
the Bowling Gnen. Mr. Saundeis, Mr.
Norborn Suiton, Mr. Tenant, Mr. Hudgin,
Festus Dickinson, Esq. the Prosecuting
Attorney for the county, and several other
gentlemen, proceeded to the work-shop of
Beazley, and demanded John Long. He
denied all knowledge of him save that
Long had been to his house on Friday
night, and said he was going to Tappahan-
nock, in Essex county. In searching the
ruins of the fne, the gentlemen found
Long's pocket book, burned to a cinder,
with a piece of paper burned, but the writ
ing still distinct although the paper was
almost charred. In raking about the yard
Mr. Saunders found under the surface a
bone, with fragments of flesh clinging to it,
and a little further, a portion of the human
jaw with two teeth in it. Upon this dis
co very, Beazley confessed his crime and
begged them to hang him on the spot.
He was immediately conveyed to jail,
but the next morning he was permitted to
accompany-the gentlemen who had arrest
ed him, in quest of the body. They found
it as he described, anil it was buried subse
quently in a square box, all the upper and
lower limbs having been destroyed by the
lire.
Long was a harmless inoffensive being,
alvvay s ready and obliging in his disposi
lion, and occasionally addicted to indul
ging rather freely.
Beazley has heretofore borne the charac
ter of an honest, humble, hard-working
man, and irom lus looks 1 would hardly-
suspect him of either nerve or inclination
to commit so foul a deed. He neither ask
s
or expects mercy. 1 found him reading
the testament, and as meek and docile as a
child. 1 endeavored to impress upon his
mind the importance of a prepaiation for
that shadowy bourne "whence no traveller
returns."
Abduction. A narrative of a most sin
gular traffic is going the rounds of the pa
pers, which if true, calls for immediate ap
plication of the law, to punish the infa
mous onenders. 1 he substance ot ihe sto
ry is, that, the captain of a vessel lying in
the port of New York, by the aid of a per-
ro. xru Xo 5.
srn known in New York, visited certain
houses of dl fame, in that city, and repre-
sen ing themselves to be the captains of a
passenger packet, bound to New Orleans
an I Havan , induced, by tendering them
a free pass ige, some fifteen or twenty of
the prettiest girls, to embark with them
for Havana, and having got them on board,
took them to the coast of Africa, and sold
them into the interior, to the negro chiefs,
each one for fifty negroes. The rumor is
founded on a letter, which it is said, one of
ihe girls contrived to get to the coast of
Africa, whence we suppose it found its
way to America.

The Great Missonrian. The follow
ing extract of a letter is from a gentleman
formerly of this City, now on a tour
through the Western States, and at present
in St. Louis, from whence he writes:
"I went the other night to look at the
greatest curiosity that I have ever seen.
It is called the Great Missourian, and is
the greatest animal ever known. It was
found about two hundred miles West of
this place, in this State, by a German. It
measures 16 feet high, is 32 feet long, has
two tusks lhat are from 10 to 12 inches in
diameter and 16 feet apart. The head and
tusks weigh 1 100 pounds. The joints of
the knee in the foie legs are inverted so
that he bends his knee the contrary way
from any other animal. He appears to
have been web-footed, has no hoofs, but
toes about 8 or 10 inches long. The own
er has computed its size in comparison to
the size of an ox here that weighs 1000
pounds, and he isjust 100 times larger than
the ox, so lhat he must have weighed when
alive, 100,000 pounds (50 tons.) I should
think he would have required five or six
Buffaloes for breakfast. The six musi
cians, who play at the exhibition of the
animal, sit upon his ribs.
" The owner has been offered 20,000
cash for him. lie leaves in a few days
for New Orleans, thence for New York,
thence to Europe. It is worth a good
fortune for any six men, but the owner will
not sell it" Troy IVhig.
In feres ing Incident. The Milledge
ville Ga. Stmdard of Ihe 24th ult., relates
the following: In the examination before
the Legislature, of the claim of James
Hunter, to legislative clemency or pardon,
for the crime of murder, committed on
Mr. Loveiov. Mr. Jones. Senator from
m ' 7
the county of Paulding, made the follow
ing statement, which he said he had not
heard contradicted: "After the convic
tion of Hunter, he was visited in his prison
by his wife. During one of her visit., she
clad herself in his apparel, and he dressed
himself up in her's; and in that di'guise
made his escape. After some hours the
affair was discovered and the jailor detain
ed the wife in prison, as being accessary lo
ihe escape of her husband. Hunter hear
inii in some way that his wife was kept in
jail, came forth voluntarily, and gave him
self up to proper authority, to sutler upon
the gallows, in order lo relieve an affection
ate and confiding wife from the walls of a
prison. Such conduct is truly ennobling,
even in a felon, and the mention of it crea-
ted a deep emolion in the legislative hall.
Hunter was pardoned by the Legislature,
and has been restored to the bosom of his
family. And we sincerely hope that hU
subsequent conduct will prove him no
unworthy of the enjoyment of those civil
privileges to which he has been again r$
stored.
