SEIOHBOBS — THE SLAIN CHILDREN
THOSE SHE HEROICALLY SAVED DU-
XIKO THE INDIAN MASSACRE
or 1862.
Ellswobth, 'W'is., May 24,1873.
A murder trial opens here to-morrow which
in of a particularly interesting nature, details
of which have as yet been published in none
of the Eastern journals. The alleged crimi
nal is charged with having taken human life
as freely as ever did Lydia Sherman, and by
the same subtle agent—poison. At the same
lime she is a wife and mother whose charac
ter has always been above suspicion, and
who, in the Indiau massacre eleven years ago,
bore herself as heroically as any of the wo
men of two centuries ago in the old Indian
wars. The facts in this case are briefly as fol
lows—
The alleged criminal is Mrs. Channcey S.
Iamb, who with her husband and baby, went
to Sibley county, Minnesota, from Vermont
about fifteen years ago. Settling on a farm
near Arlington, they lived and prospered for
four years, two more children being bom to
them. Then came the memorable massacre
of 1862, when the red wave of savage invasion
swept over the yonng State of Minnesota and
left what had been a smiling land a waste of
blood-slaked ashes. Mr. Lamb was absent
from borne at the tills, but his wife fled for
safety. With her baby daugher on a cushion
in her arm, her eldest boy running by her
side and the other son toddling with diffi
culty, holding to her apron, she walked to St.
Tanl, where her husband joined her. Her es
cape was part of the history of the massacre
ami was published far and wile by the Her
ald and other contemporary journals. After
the family had been reunited they decided to
abandon the Minnesota homestead, whence
they bad been so rudely frightened, and re
moved to Trimbelle, a small town in this
(Pierce) county, six or sefen miles from
Ellsworth. Here they secured a farm and
prospered. Their infant children grew np to
boyhood and girlhood; they worked inces
santly and diligently; both of them were ap
parently devout Christians, and there was
not a sick bed for miles aronnd whither Mrs.
Lamb was not summoned and where she
was not cheerful and tireless in her ministra
tion;.
DEATH or HEB HUSBAND.
In September, 1871, Mr. Lamb and his
eldest son were at work in the field near the
house, stacking com, when suddenly the
father fell to the ground. Mrs. Lamb, who
was in the porch, ran to him, lifted his head
and asked him if he had a fit. He conld only
gasp in broken sentences, “Yes—my Jeans is
coiniDg; I'm goipg home—good-bye!" when
he died. His wife remained alone with her
dead, bedewing the face, now set and unre
sponsive, with her tears for two hours, until
her son returned with assistance and the body
was removed. Mrs. Lamb remained alone on
her farm that winter, and in the ensuing
spring leased the tillable land on shares to a
neighbor, James W. Ottman. Just one year
ago to-day Dan Orrin, her younger son, a boy
of thirteen, died suddenly. No one was in
the house with him but his mother at the
time of his death. She gave out that the boy
had died of heart disease, and stated that his
sufferings hod been intense, spasms and con
vulsions having rapidly succeeded each other
and internal agonies having knotted the
mnscles and bent the body to the shape of
a bow. Her sorrow was deep for the loss of
the child, who, ten years before, had clung to
her apron and been helped onward by her
weak arm, then strong with the might of
maternal love, as they fled from the tomahawk
of the ruthless savages.
Less than oue month afterwards, on the 21st
of Jurn*. JIS72, the angel of death again en-
tereiLllie sorely stricken hpusehold. Her on
ly daughter, Sarah, the baby that she had car
ried on a pillow for so many miles, at the
lime ot the massacre, died as suddenly as had
died ber brother, with precisely the same
symptoms and sufferings as had been display
ed in his case. Tbe mother was alone in the
house at the time.
Six Weeks later another mysterioos death oc
curred at the Lamb homestead. Tbe victim
ibis time was not one of the family, but Mrs.
Irene A. Ottman, the wife of the Ottman who
had leased the farm on shares. On the morn
ing of the 3d of August she had walked over
to the bouse to assist her husband, and, agree
ably to her custom, called on Mrs. Lamb and
spent some moments in conversation with
that lady. Feeling ill, Mrs. Ottman asked
Mrs. Lamb, who had a widespread local cele
brity as a culler aQd compounder of herbs and
other simples, to give her something to do
her good. Mrs. Lamb gave her some drops
of a preparation which for the time relieved
her. Mrs. Ottman then walked home, Mrs.
Lamb accompanying ber aod lavishing on her
every mark of attention. Arrived at her own
house, Mrs. Ottman's
SPASMS Or AGONY
returned and she requested Mrs. Lamb to give
her more medicine. Mrs. Lamb went home
and returned with another dose, which she
administered. It brought no relief to the suf
ferer, who died in a conple of hours.
The fact that these three healthy persons
had died within a few weeks of each other,
the sole attendant and physician in each case
being Mrs. Lamb, ana the symptoms dis
played by all the sufferers being identical,
had, despite the high character and general
l>opalarity of Mrs. Lamb, caused no scanty
comment. Whispers that there had been ionl
play bad been heard, though none loudly, or
even openly gave suspicion breath, for sus
picion in these peaceful, rural localities, is ‘a
plant of alow growth "
But twelve days later a deadly finish was
given to conjecture, and the passing bell for
another suddenly-summoned victim rang the
alarm in tones none conld mistake or refuse
to hear. Koyal Garland, an unmarried farm
er in the vicinity, had a nnmber of hands en
gaged on his farm in harvesting, and as he
had frequently done before, employed Mrs.
Lamb to go over to bis honse and cook dinner
tor them. On the 15th of Angnst they all
partook with thair usual heartiness, of the
.tinner Mrs. Lamb had prepared for them.
Shortly after Mr. Garland telt unwell, and,
going to the house, asked Mrs. Lamb to give
him some pain-killer. She went to a neigh
bor's house, procured a vial of pain-killer and
gave him some in a cup. Soon after drinking
it he was seized with the same spasms and
convulsions which had developed themselves
in the other cases. Daring the paroxysms
she knelt by btm and tended him assiduous
ly, paying no less attention to the weal of his
soul than to the welfare of his body, and ex
horting him to “look to Jesus," to “put his
trust in the Lamb,” to prepare humbly for
death, ’ Ac., interceding for him, meanwhile,
jt the heavenly throne, in a most edifying
and exemplary manner. Dr. Cotton was sent
for bnt arrived too late. He found Mr. Gar
land dead and Mrs. Lamb watching over
the body.
MBS. LAMB ABBESTED.
After this it wag impossible that no legal
proceedings should be instituted, and on the
20th of August Mrs. Lamb was arrested, upon
the affidavit of James W. Ottman, who ac
cused her of having caused the death of Itoyal
Garland, Irene Ottman and her own two
children, Dan and Saiah Lamb. On tbe 5th
of September she was fully committed for
trial, her attorneys waiving an examination.
Tbe bodies of these four persons, as well as
that of her bnsband, were at once examined,
and the stomach and other organs of each re
moved and submitted to chemical analysis.
The results of all these tests were the
FINDING OF STXXCHHINE
in all the bodies save that of Mr. Lamb, from
five to six grains being discovered in each.
Search being made in Mrs. Lamb's cottage,
among ber bottles and vials was found one
containing extract of sarsaparilla, in which
the same deadly poison was largely mixed. It
was only natural to expect that after the
downiall of this idol of the country side those
who had been the warmest of her supporters
and the most lavish of the sympathisers
should go over te the opposite extreme and
find tn trifles light as air, which before bad
hardly been noticed, confirmation strong of
the unhappy woman's gnilt. Her numerous
charitable deeds, the unsweariog assiduity
with which she had always nursed the tick,
all these were now regarded aa parts of a deep
laic and devilish plot to satisfy tbe cravings
of a morbid and desperate heart for the life
blood of victims.
Amid all this babble of scandalous tongues
it was not long ere theories accounting for
her crimes presented themselves. It is be
lieved, go far as human reason can go to
wards unravelling a secret, the clew to whieb
thin her ow
Mrs. Lamb to succeed ber as the head of Mr.
Ottman’s family. The poisoning of Mr. Gar
land is more difficult to account for, but it is
believed that he had offended her—os he had
several mairiageable women in the neighbor
hood, being somewhat weak-minded in the
m itter of women—by matrimonial proposals,
and she took his life by way of revenge for
what she considered an insult.
Musical and Dramatic Notes.
Leroy, author of “ Cousin Jack,” is writing
a new play for W. J. Florence.
J. B. Booth has purchased “La Femino de
Feu” directly from Belot, the author.
Hr. Arthur Cheney has not yet determined
to rebuild the Globe Theatre, Boston. He
has the subject under consideration, but it is
probable that he will not arrive at a decision
before the middle of next week.
Offenbach has leased the Gaiete Theatre,
Pans, and will commence the season in Sep
tember with a new play, by Barrier, entitled
“LeGaacon.” The scenes of the events are
partly laid in France and in Scotland, at the
time of Harie Stuart.
The summer season began last evening at
Wood’s Museum, when Mr. Frank Mayo, a
young American actor, made his first appear
ance in New York this year, in Murdoch’s new
and beautiful play, entitled “Davy Crockett.”
While having a close connection with life
among the savages, “Davy Crockett” is by no
means of the rough class of border dramas,
but a realistic portrayal of nature, abounding
with poetry and pathos, grave and gay. Miss
Rosa Riind, a clover yonng actress, made her
first appearance at the Museum in the part of
Elenor Vaughan. The other members of the
compaby supported Mr. Mayo very well.
The charitable entertainment for the bene
fit of the Foundling Asylum, to be given on
the afternoon of Thursday, the 12th inst, at
the Academy of Music, under the manage
ment of Augustin Daly, promises one ot the
greatest combinations of dramatic and musical
talent New York has yet known. The list of
volunteers up to y ester day jeom prised Charles
Fechter, Miss Neilson, E. A. Sothern, Agnes
Ethel, G. L. Fox, Bryant’s Minstrels and the
entire Ninth Regiment Band. The stock
companies of the Fifth Avenue Theare,
Grand $ Opera House and Union Square
Theatre, and the orchestras of Wallick’s The
atre and Niblo’s Garden are also to partici
pate.
The Scourge op the Planters.—The
Georgetown Times regrets to learn from Dr.
A. M. Forster that caterpillars have made
Hieir appearance in his rice field. Fortunately,
in his case, they were, in consequence of the
high tides, very easily drowned out. Mr. W.
J. Lucas of Santee says they have made their
appearance on the place he plants. As be is
in no want of water in that locality, they were
easily disposed of. It is a matter, however,
of importance to all rice planters to know that
the caterpillar is about, in order thrt they may
keep a bright lookont for him, for its ravages
in a night and day might seriously cut short
the profits of their labor.
The New England Christian Convention
will be held in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
