Domestic tragedy and crime across the South and North
A North Carolina report describes a mother in a Davidson County farm household attempting to strangle her 14 year old daughter and harming her son before being stopped. Separately, a Baton Rouge officer was killed, and a Mississippi feud led to multiple shot casualties. In the North, a Pittsburgh case features a teen victim and a suicide, commented on as evidence of northern civilization. The piece also covers political harmony debates within the Republican party, a San Francisco house theft exposing a servant’s many disguises, and local court, crime, and social notices from New Orleans and Wilmington with church events and civic proceedings.
