An outrage too horrible almost to call to mind happened near Caneyville, January 28th, 1881, by which WILEY EMBRY and six children were burned to death.¾ We have just learned of a death bed confession has brought out the perpetrators.¾ Dr. Jas N. BRANDON of Caneyville on his death bed confessed he and JOHN WHITTINGHILL and BILL TAYLOR WHITTINGHILL, sons of REMUS WHITTINGHILL did the deed.¾ Brandon said that they took a syringe and threw chloroform through the key-holes in the different rooms and waited till it caused a deep sleep then robbed the house, getting $1,000.00 in money.¾ They then set the kerosene fire in several places and ran off.¾ Mrs. Embry and three children escaped from the fire and Mr. Embry and six children including three sons almost grown perished in the flames. Oh God, what a crime.¾ The parties have been suspected of some time.¾ Bill Taylor Whittinghillês wife took a $100 bill to Moormanês store to get it changed and as Whittinghill was known to be scarce of money, it excited¾ suspicions.¾ Brandon married a sister of the Whittinghillês.¾ We understand that Brandon is dead and the Whittinghillês have fled.¾ This is the information as¾ received.¾ It may not be exactly correct in detail, but the substance is.

NOTE; in the MARCH 1, issue of this paper, the story above was proven to be without merit.

WILLIAM M. S. BARRETT, living about seven miles northeast of Fordsville, in Hancock County and near the Ohio County line started to go to Cloverport on the morning of the 4th and while passing through the lane on the farm of JOHN McGAVOCK, about four miles this side of Cloverport, his horse fell in a ditch opposite the graveyard and crushed him to death.¾ From where I was, as I was just in front of him, and what I can learn the accident happened as follows; The graveyard is at the left hand side of the road going to Cloverport and near the mouth of the lane is a small ditch washed out till it is now part gully, the road at this part of the lane is a bed of stiff mortar, with the exception of a narrow path on the side of the gully nest to the road, this path and the careful observer dismounted and led his horse past it.¾ Mr. Barrett intended to ride along this path when the horse, more anxious to keep out of the mud than the ditch, stepped within four inches of the ditch, when the bank of the ditch gave way under his right hind foot and the old gentleman curbing¾ him suddenly, the horse fell backwards in the ditch with Mr. Barrett under him. Richard Fuqua was some distance behind¾ Mr. Barrett and saw him fall, but thought he had passed out of the lane and suddenly turned to the right to avoid the muddy road at the mouth of the lane as there is a small path there for that purpose.¾ When Mr. Fuqua came up Mr. Barrett was alive, but as the horse could not get up he went for help and when he returned Mr. Barrett was dead.¾ The justice of the peace at Cloverport was sent for, who arrived in a short time, but considered an inquest unnecessary, as he was seen fallen and was found before he died.¾ His remains were taken to Mr. McGavockês house and his relatives sent for, who had him removed to the house of his sons, Phillip and Dallas Barrett, on the farm adjoining the farm owned by Mr. Barrett and where he made his home at the time of his death.

¾ He was in the 76th year of age and has but three children, all sons, PHILLIP, DALLAS and WILLIAM, all farmers, the latter living on a farm near Cane Station, Green County Illinois and the Altha and Jacksonville railroad.¾ Mr. Barrett was¾ a¾ Kentuckian by birth, he was born in Lexington, Kentucky, but with the exception of the last few years he has lived in Illinois, since he was twenty one years old.¾ On the evening of the 5th, his remains followed by a large train of relatives and friend were taken to the graveyard on the farm of Noble Burch in Hancock County when after religious services by the Rev. J. J. Keown was laid to rest beside the infant twins of his on Phillip.
