The Daily Dispatch: November 5, 1860., [Electronic resource], Horrible murder (search)
Horrible murder --A most horrible murder was committed, it is supposed, on Tuesday night, by Robert Stewart, living near Columbia, S. C. His house has been shut for a day or two. This excited curiosity and suspicion so strong that the door was forcibly entered. He was found lying on a bed by the side of the dead body of his wife. Upon examination it was found to be most horribly mutilated from head to feet. The head was severely cut in several places, and the body had been punched and the door was forcibly entered. He was found lying on a bed by the side of the dead body of his wife. Upon examination it was found to be most horribly mutilated from head to feet. The head was severely cut in several places, and the body had been punched and disfigured with a piece of iron, which the fiend must have beat for the purpose. He had been on a drunken frolic, and was still in that condition when he committed the horrible deed. Stewart was committed to jail to await his trial.
