The Daily Dispatch: December 21, 1860., [Electronic resource], Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. (search)
residing near Rockland Mills, attempted to destroy the life of an infant, 4 months old, of which she was nurse. She administered in some way, or forced down its throat needles, pins, matches, one sixpenny nail, and fragments of a sewing basket. Up to the present time fourteen pins have come from the child--six of which were thrown up out of its month, and eight passed through its bowels. Eleven needles have come from the child, nine of which came through the skin in various places. Dr. W. D. Ewing was called in frequently to extract needles; when any were discovered under the skin.--The four matches, the nail, and pieces of basket, were each an inch in length, and were all thrown up out of its month. The child is recovering, and was cheerful all the time it was undergoing the cruelties inflicted by this inhuman wretch. The negro girl is about 13 years old. She has been sent to Richmond for sale and transportation. The County Court has been in session since Monday last. Ci
