A. Lungmuid at Pembroke, about six tuilcs

i walk to tho academy, wbero sho attended school.
She was seen to puss two or three houses ou lha

' ever saw Uer alive. llor brother Waldo,
l sixteen years ol ago, left homo tuat morning
lor tbo sumo school about hall an hour
ubcad of her, and. when sho I'allod to appear thero,
I ho naturally coucluded that bis slstur had decided
lor some reason nut to go lo school
. that day, and he thought no moro ubout
1 It. H was not till bo returned home, about
i twonty minutes to six P. M., that tlie luuilly
I became aware lor tbo tlrst time that Josto
hud not been at school, and Wuldo leurned that she
was not ul home. Souio of tbo ueigboors wero noilllod
ut onco ol her absence, and rulhed to Join in tho
i search lor her. Mr. Laugmuld, his son and nulghbors,
I truced the girl uu the road to where sno passed the
last bouse, ami tben vlioy struck Into a piece
i ol woods, keeping near enough to ono another
I to uiako a thorough examination ol all the
! ground which tbey passod ovor. The wood was a
> thick one, wltb a great deal ol underbrush, und slow
I progress was made. About ten rods irom tho high
way tuo lutner caught sight of tho body ol his murdered
daughter. An oxumtnuMun showed that alio
j had been b^rrlbiy mutilated, that h?r head hud boou
i cut entirely Irom ber body and carried away, and that
other parts had bcuu removed. Hor hut wub found
i about ten feet Irom her body, toward the road, and
' indiutlod that she uad received blows on mo head.
I Her clotlilng was saturated with blood nod badly torn,
and all wont to show lhat sho bud been dragged timber
anvo uad her head dissevered ut inul spot. It was
plain thai she had been waylaid, ravished, murdorud,
hoheadod and secreted in broad daylight and near a
I public road.
i A coroner's Inquest was organized and the scurch
I continued till noar'y eleven o'clonk that uiglit, w hen
It was abandoned, und again renewed early in the
morning. About eight A. SI. tho next day the missI

i she was struck and her school boeks wore picked up

conveyed about lorty rods Into tlio woods, leaving

and the evidence of "ouiruge to her hereon was
unmistakable. I he crime was committed in
the woods, aud the blood nud loolprinis there and
li.o truces by sputa ol blood trom wtiero the body
lay, clearly ludicated the spot where tho deed was
