HOMICIDE IN OOSHEN TOWNSHII
PailhU Pratt, a Negro Woman, Foun
With Her Throat Cut. Her Husband
Charged With the Crime.
A horrible murder was committed i
Goshen Township the early part of tb
week. The victim was Paulina Pratt,
negro women living on R. H. McCai
ley's plaoe, and her husband is charge
with the crime. Paulina's body wa
found in the woods Wednesday morn
ing by Clark Glenn, who was out hunl
ing. Her throat was cut from ear t
ear, nearly severing her head from he
body. She had been missing since earl
Monday morning, and when found he
body was somewhat mutilated by bus
sards. A letter addressed to her brothe
was found on her person, in which sh
stated that she and her husband, Tor
Pratt, had had a quarrel, and that h
had told her he was '"tired of her an
her children, and that he would brea
her neck." The letter was dated Nov
29th. A warrant was sworn out azain:
Pratt, and when arrested blood stair
were found on his clothing. He was con
mi ted to jail Thursday morning.
It appears that Pratt and his wife di
not live together agreeably, and ha
frequent quarrels, which resulted c
one or two occasions in their separatioi
The circumstances are such as to almn
conclusively establish his guilt, and '
will hardly be able to prove his innoceni
of the crime.
