REVOLTING CRIME NEAR PAULDING.
The lIorrlh)y*Mangled CorpneB of Two Children of Farmer Good, Aged Nine aud Six Years, Found ID a Brash
Heap—Two Arrests.
PAULDING, O., Nov. 0.—A terrible crime was committed near this city Sunday night. George and Nellie Good, aged 9 and 0 yearn respectively, children of Samuel Good, who lives about 8 miles north of Paulding, were found bj' a searching party Monday morning in the wor near the house with their throats .ml from ear to ear, their bodies terrioiy lacerated and black enfd from afire started with the object of removing all trace of the crime. Sunday afternoon the Good children were playing in the road near their home, and wandered iuto a near-by wood. They failed to return at supper time, and could not be found by their parents. At dark a searching party was organised and the search continued throughout the night, but no trace of the little ones was found until 8 o'clock Monday morning when a party of men found the bodies in a brush heap 40 rods from the road and less than a mile from their home.
A Revolting Sight.
The little girl's head was pounded to a pulp, her throat out and she had been disemboweled. The little boy's head was nearly severed from his body, which was terribly mangled. The sight was a most revolting one, and caused the men of the party to go road with rage. The little bodies had been tied together with a tarred rope and thrown iuto the brush, which had afterward been fired, but owing to a heavy rain was too damp to burn and only blackened the mangled bodies.
Two Arrests.
There was but one theory advanced as a cause for the crime, and that was that the little girl had been outraged and then murdered, and her compauion killed to prevent his telling the awful taie. Sheriff Staley arrived upon the scene at 10 o'clock and arrested Charles Hart, aged 19 years, a boy who resides near the Good home, on suspicion. Hart is an illiterate boy, and by some considered Insane. His arrest was due to his •trange actions at the time the bodies were found. Leo Cain, a uegro, 21 years of age, who lives with a family named Jackson, and who has been a companion of Hart's, was also arrested and placed in jail.
Fears of a Lynching.
Paulding was quickly filled with men who were talking wildly of lynching the arrested persons. Judge Snook and leading citizens made au effort to quiet the mob by delivering numerous speeches on the streets. At 8 o'clook Monday afternoon a bloodhound was sent to the scene, but there was little hope of its being able to do anything to throw any light on the orime. The attitude of the mob continued to grow more and more threatr ening, ana the prisoners were quietly slipped out of town and sent to Van Wert for safe keeping.
