Horrible Crime

Cincinnati, March 14--A Waynesville special says that a brutal murder was discovered there this evening. Gideon Carson and his wife have been living for the past winter in an old house on the outskirts of the village. Carson was intemperate and in ill health, and has a very violent temper when drunk. At six o'clock this evening a young man who wanted Mrs. Carson to do some washing rapped at the door. Not receiving any response he entered and found the room in a litter of confusion. Mrs Carson laid on the front end of the bed murdered. A portion of her left cheek had been cut off, and the fatal blow had evidently been given with a hatchet. The husband was found in the back part of the house, in a drunken stupor, and was taken to jail. He said that he knew his wife was dead; that she had been killed at about two o'clock, but did not know who did it.
