The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

We hear that one Cadry Leacy, who was advertised in our Paper of the 18th instant, as a Runaway from Richard Lemon, of New-Ark, New-Castle county, was committed to Gloucester goal last week for murder: He passed thro' the country as a dumb man, and about two weeks ago stopped at a house on the Egg Harbour road, the lower end of Gloucester county, where he made signs that he was hungry, when the good woman gave him food; the woman's husband being at work in the Cedar Swamps it is said, that Leacy wanted to go to bed to her, but she refusing, he killed her with the Pitch Fork; then beat the children, left the oldest of them for dead, who has since recovered, and then made off. He being pursued, was taken and committed as above.
