THE CHILD MURDERERS-From the St. Ansgar Gazette we learn that the examination of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Farrington, the two fiends indicted in the murder of their innocent child, near Osage some week ago, has been concluded. Emma Farrington, the unnatural mother, was acquitted, but C. C. Farrington has been held in the sum of $500 to appear and answer at the next term of the District Court. From the evidence which is published at length, it seems that both connived at the deliberate murder of their child. Two such monsters should not be allowed to go unpunished, and we trust that both shall receive their just deserts. Hanging would not be at all too good for them.
