 The Danville, Va. Reporter, of the lst, contains an account of one of the most awful series of murders ever pefpetrated by hu- man being. It appeared m evidence before the Coroner's Jury, that on the 22d Decem- Der, a wretch by the name of James E. La- nier, accompanied by three negroes, pro- ceeded to the house of one Betsey Freeman, and deliberately murdered Mrs: Freeman. her daughter Eliza Freeman, and two small bows, the children of the said Eliza. He be- headed one or two of them, beat out the brains of the others with an axe, piled their bodies together, covered them with straw, and then set fire to them. The murderer was prompted to the deed because the boys were his children, and he wanted to get rid of the liability of supporting them. It ap- peared in evidence, that one of the boys, about four years of age. alarmed by the murder of his mother and grandmother, caught the monster around the legs, and im- plored him to save his life. He had scarce iy uttered his request when his head was severed with a single blow from his body The murderer had not been apprehended, though his accomplices were in jail.
