The Citizen has received a letter,
dated Disco, Hancock countv. 111., Mar
6, and signed Mrs. B. Litterl. in which
the writer asks lor information that
some reader of The Citizen may be able
to give her. The letter is am follows :
"Is Hattie A. Nash-Litterl living in the
United States ? If she is let her speak
Her first husband, James Litterl,
lives at Disco, 111., where he was married
to his third wife. He says he was married
in 1861 or '62 to Hattie A. Nash in Bun
combe county or thereabouts. He also
says he killed a man in bis house through
jealousy and then entered the Rebel arrxiv
and remained till the close of the war.
He then went to Ohio, where he married
without having secured a divorce. Ac
cording to this I am his third wife or
ought to be.
"Now, if any of the N.ish family arc
living, will they let me know where ibey
are, and if Hattie A. Nash or Litterl is
living. I have forgotten the name of th
man whom James Litterl killed. He
says he killed him on the Nash farm."
If any of The Citizen's readers know
of the case and will communicate with
this paper or Mrs. Litterl the third they
will no doubt confer a favor on the
writer of the letter.
