The Infant Baptised in the'Blood of Its
Mother, -i *
Jews.
.Ybout 1 o'clock yesterday morning
Coroner Jennings w*i oipoaed from hi U
slumbers to attend the inquest of Sirs.
Kebecea Goldsberg, mho was found dead
ui her home on Clayton street, one door
from 11 ull. By 7 o’clock a Jury had
summoned. Ye reporter whs* promptly
on hand. The house in which the hor
rible tragedy occurred belonged, to Mr.
Simon Marks, and was a small struct-
uro, set buck but a few feet 1 from the
street. it was plainly famished,
but everything was scrupulously neat
mu) clean. We first, entered a wood
room, or kiml of kitchen. Adjoining
tills was Uie bedroom, In which the fan?,
ful tragedy occurred. Passing into this
room we saw si retched upon £ board in
the ;li"»r a human form, over which had
•d-n thrown a sheet. On every band
was tin) sight of blot*!! blood!-! blood!!!
A v'ual puddle bad settledou tho hearth,
m ii:i<- iii-i is>d-cliitliing andtrv'Cn the crip
in which'played- iv young child was’
sprinkled witli Uie red ilnk!> There was
in the roam h jdahi table, a Very cheap
June tiislsiead, amt the liaby’s cradle.
You saw on every huudtiie index of pov
erty, bnt a most tfleanty-cnre. The next
I'ooin was tlie parlor. In this was n few
split nuMouiod chairs, a table covered
with a doth, and some mantle orua-
inenta. We noticed the familiar chest
ui the emigrant, but the most costly arti
cle in the house was a new trunk, evi
dently bought iu America.
The jury was sworn, witli Rev. K. F.
Anderson as foreman, and Ur. J. M.
Carlton physician in attendance.
Tite first duty was to examine the
body. The sheet that covered the re
mains was removed, when a horrible
sight met the gase. Robed in a single
garment, and bathed in blood from head
to foot, was a young woman fit years old,
ller bond was Ihrowu back, exposing a
terrible gash that half severed the bead
from the body. You saw even in death
the remaius of beanty, that
marred, however, by the rod atains of
blood. From the face to her feet was
stream of blood that glued the garment
to the tleali. It was * sight that will
haunt tlie witnesses to their grave. Dr.
Carlton ordered a pan of water, with
wh'cli lie removed the clotted gore from
the wound that ho might examine Its
nature. Many of the jury had to re
tire, so sickening was the sight expos
ed, but Ur. C., with the eye ofanexpert
cnrefiilly traced the wound, examining
Is nature and also the position of the
corpse. The knives with Which the hor
rible ilia'll was committed were also pro
duced. There was a large butcher knife,
very dull, and evidently discarded as
useless by the suicide, and a
et knife, the point of the blade broken
otr, hut in the opinion of the doctor suf-
Indent to product) the wound, by
or four gashes. It seems that these
were the only knives in the possession of
this family, and being strictly orthodox
Jews, ouc was used for the purpose of
rutting meats and the ocher for butter-

But the saddest sight wastho little
lathy, that crowed In the crib, uncon-
si-ions of the fact the source of its being
was cold in death. The little prattler
was jiroppud upon its crib, contentedly
sucking its thumb, and ever and anon

even with this precaution the sight of

starched with its mother’s life-blood, was
enough to sicken the stoutest heart.
A number of witnesses were examin
ed, and fr -m them we glean the follow
lug testimony: Michael Goldsberg and
his wife came to this country about
eight months ago, exiles from Russian
cruelty. They bad known better times
at home, the family of the 8lie being
quite weal'hy. Goldsberg Was* tailor
by trade, and found employment with
the Messrs. Cohen, who testified that he
waits quiet, hard-working
far as they knew perfectly sober. He
often worked until 12 o’clock' at night.
The couple liad lived peaceably together
and the neighbors testified that the httk-
luuid was very kind to hl» wife—in fact,
he often did the cooking and washing for
the fitmily, when bis wills wan sick. Mn.
G. secuied perfectly content in
and expressed no desire to return to Eu-
rope. But about two weeks ago she com
plained of having in )»•? head
and acted somewhat strangely. One
night lately her husbaud came in from
hit work quite lata, and the. wife told
him that he mast not leave her at night
again, as she was afraid to stay in the
house alone. He bought her some salts
untl sellits powders, thinking her nu«
woll, and Friday, In order to humor her
bought some fruit and almonds. 8unday
night tlie woman complained of feeling
unwell, and asked, bfii to ga te bad sari
ly. They retired ***** about bhto
o’clock. About 13 o'clock be heard the
child cry, and calling his wlit by came
askfd her tosee whxt was tbe matter.
She did not reply, when he frit for her
in the bud, and found that she bad left it.
He then arose and turned up abgnp that
was dimly burning, when he discovered
his wifu lying oo the door, beside Use
baby's crib, with blopdooilng from her
mouth. He was very much frightened,
and summoned his neigh bore. When

1 COLON BL UABpKttAN’a LIFB.
Colonel Hardeman was born in Put
cam County fifty-six yearn ago. He
waa graduated at Emory -college in
1845 and read -law in tbe office, of
Judge R. V.- Hardeman at Clinton,
with whom he formed a .copartner
ship, being admitted to tbg bar in 1847.
Colonel. irardemah r s father moved
front iMtn'att' obuqt^ to' Macon in
1836, In 1848 he married Miss Jkne
Lumstfen. of Putnam county. After
a short resfdeh'ce In Cllutoh, hk mov
ed to Macon , and In 1851he waa elect
ed to tho legislature from Bibb
county, and. served for several terms
as an old line whig uhtll that party
HU attendants gave evideut signs of
alarm at this unusual effort, and in obe
dience to their suggestions we arose to
go, tolling him that we could not permit
him to injure himself by au attempt to
talk, and that we fully took the idea that
he was endeavoring to press upon us
Still clinging to our hand, he continued
in a stronger voice and with more ener
gy, “You have had always it, you have
always understood it. You stated it
strongly, and illustrated it admirably in
the Rountree case. This Idea was "the
basis of uiv notes on the situation.”
At this polutit was simply impossible
that the scene should be allowed to con
tinue, but he did uot release* his hold
until he had exacted a promise that we
would call again and listen when he was
better able to speak. We left hiiu witli
tbe solemn impression that we should
not look upon him again in life, hut
cheered and strengthened by tlm suh-
lime courage of a dying man. i *

He has spoken words that we consider
a proud privi lege to convey to Oilr • fei -

vey solemn truths, the very basis upon
which our present political situation
rests. Shall they fall ou dull and idle
ears? Ecclesiastic law has given lo
priestly shrift all ot the solemn weight,
of truth. Tlie civil law holds iu the
highest esteem the dying declarations ot
him wounded unto death. Can we fail
