CRIME.
TERRIBLE RIME IN CHIGIGO,
A Young Girl Attempts to Murder
Her Father, Mother, Brothers
and Sisters by Giving
Them Strychnine.
From the Chicago Journal of the 20th we.ex
tract the following particulars of a fearful tra
gedy, information of which we have already pub
lished in our telegraphic columns :
Residing at No. 810 alurch street is a family
named Stang. The head of the family, Andrew
Stang, is an industrious, well-to-do German gar
dener, and has by hard work and economy
amassed a considerable sum of money. His
family consists of a wife and five children. Of
the latter, Elizabeth, who bears her mother's
name, and whose age is sixteen, is the eldest. It
is Elizabeth who, dead to all impulses of affec
tion is charged with having attempted to consign
her dearest relatilves to a premature death. It ap
pears that she letaalways been rilsource of cease
less anxiety to her parents. From her earliest
infancy she has displayed an irresistible inclina
tion to steal any thing of the slightest value
which came within her reach. As she grow older
this evil propensity more fully developed, until
at last she reached a point entirely beyond re-.
straint, and it became necessary to have her ar
rested, which was done, and for a year she was
confined in an asylum, in hopes that that course
might work a reform.
But this step failed in accomplishing the de
sired purpose, for after her release she persisted
in her course of depravity, and on every oppor
tunity which presented would steal from any
body with whom she came in contact. Her
mother was a constant victim to her rapacity,and
only two weeks ago Elizabeth robbed hero, $2O,
and more recently still of various other sums of
money. With the fruits of her dishonesty she
would leave the house and not return until It had
all been spent. Each time that she came back
her parents received her with open arms, hoping
over and over again to reform, by their counsel,
the child who to them was all the world, in spite
of the dreadful trouble and anxiety she caused
them continually.
Matters went on thus up to Saturday, when the
deed which has shocked the community at large
was perpetrated. She happened to be at home.
On that day it devolved upon her to cook the
dinner. While preparing the coffee, a ybunger
sister, named Kathrina, noticed a white sub
stance floating on its surface, and asked what
it was, and was told that it was only some
flour. The meal was at last ready, and the
whole family, excepting Kathrina, consist
ing of Mr. and Mrs. Stang, Rosa, aged
twelve years, and Andrew, four yew, sat
down to partake of it. Several of them
noticed that the coffee had a peculiarly bit
ter taste, but- all drank of it, the father
drinking the whole of a large cup full, the mother
and Rosa taking about half a cup each, and the
little boy drinking quite freely of it. It soon
began to do its work, and the mother remarked
that she feared they were poisoned, but Mr.
Stang only laughed at the idea. He was, how
ever, speedily undeceived, for soon the whole
family were taken with the most violent vomit
ing and retching, and now, thoroughly alarmed,
medical assistance was called, Dr. J. Milton
Bowers being summoned. He arrived at the
house at a few minutes past two
o'clock, about half an hour after the
meal was eaten. A most horrible, scene
presented itself. Father and mother, daughter
and son, were writhing in intense agony; the
little boy was apparently in the last agonies of
dissolution, the extremities cold and palseless.
Little Kathrin t a who alone had not partaken of
the deadly mixture, witnessed the awful scene.
She was stricken with terror. The doctor ex
pressed his opinion, from statements made In
regard to the peculiar taste of the coffee, that
strychnine had been administered to the sufferers.
He employed the usual antidotes, and, after hours
of labor, finally saved the poisoned patients.
Elizabeth, in the meantime, had thrown away
the coffee that had not been used, and escaped.
The doctor found it necessary to procure a sam
ple of the death-bearing mixture, and learning
where the would-be murderess had thrown what
had been left,succeeded in collectln'g sufficient for
purposes of analysis.
Detectives were employed to ferret out the
fiendish daughter, and subsequently succeeded in
arresting her.
It is a difficult matter to farm any conclusion
as to the motives which induced Elizabeth to
commit the horrid crime. She asserts that her
parents treated her in a harsh and cruel manner;
that her father made her work very hard, com
pelled her to peddle vegetables for years past;that
her mother used to swear at her in a horrible
manner, call her bad names and constantly threa
tened to send her to the Reform School; also
that her mother used to beat and abuse her so
that owing to the noise the neighbors would
rather round the house. On Saturday morning
she says her mother beat her in a brutal manner.
She denies having put any poison in the coffee
and says she believes that her mother did it. The
strychnine had been bought by her at her mo
ther's request that morning, to be used in kill
ing rats.
This morning the victims ere in a compara
tively comfortable condition, and are undoubt
edly past all danger. The girl will be arraigned
at the Armory this afternoon. As those she
poisoned are not Able to appear against her, she
'will be formally remanded to jail to await their
recovery.
THE BANK OF THE REPUBLIC 808.
HEWN IN NEW YORK.
Additional Facto Relative to the Cap.
ture of the Alleged 1111evesi...tiour
the Pollee Got their Information.
It would appear that the means by which the
detectives were put upon the track of the alleged
robbers of the Bank of the Republic were not so
extraordinary nor so mysterious as certain of the
detectives concerned would have the public to
believe. The facts in the case which relate to the
arrest of Edwin Weed are as follows: A money
broker in this city was called upon on Saturday
afternoon by Weed, who had been previously la
the habit of paying him occasional business visits.
Weed stated that he desired to b..rrow $1,600,
mid when asked what collateral he was to give he
mentioned Missouri bonds. The broker told him
that he would give him the check for the amount
at his brother's office on Monday, at which place
at a certain hour be could bring the collateral.
The broker's brother-In-law happening into the
office shortly after Weed's departure, the former
spoke, of the loan desired by Weed, when the
brother-in-law called his attention to the fact that
the Bank of the Republic had a few days before
lost certain Missouri bonds, and that in all pro;
liability the bonds held by Weed were
the identical bonds that bad been stolen;
and in this belief he was all the more
strengthened by the revelation, as it is
alleged, that Weed's name had occupied a promi
nent niche of notoriety lb the Lord bond-rob
bery revelations. The broker, who had not be
fore given a thought to these circumstances, on
being thus reminded of the character of the per
son with whom he had to deal and the discretion
that was necessary to be observed in keeping his
brother-in-law's suspicion from all but official
ears, the following day (Sunday) paid a visit to
Inspector Leonard, of the Metropolitan Police, at
the latter's residence, and made him acquainted
with the fact of Weed's visit to his place,
and the kind of collateral that had been
promised. He, moreover, informed the in
spector that he was not desirous of appearing in
the case, and had called upon him merely as a
personal acquaintance, in order that he might do
as, ho saw fit in the matter. As the broker was
unwilling to g , o to Police Headquarters and thus
make himself known in the capture that was to
ensue, and as Inspector Leonard had other police
occupations to engage his attention just at the
time Weedy was to call ler the cheek and deposit
the security goads.- The-latter - hurried to-the,
Caitral office the following morning, and
-accosting the first detective he met in the
banding, he communicated to him the fact of
Weed's proposed visit, • .te., and then accom
panied him to within a short distance of Mehra.
liar's office. Of course the detective in question,
•
'with Weed se 1l were placed under his very nose,
lout no alternative but to arrest him the moment,
Jae called in the office and it had been ascertained
to a certainty that the bonds the suspected man
deposited as collateral were of the number of the
bonds 'Aoki: from the bank. Weed once arrested
otml readily confessing that he had received the
t o * f r om Miles Murray L with whom he was to
bon van appointment on Sixth street and Second
attleMse :the very moaning of the arrest, the
sip ion of Mtirray was a very tame affair.

Ma. IitiRDOCII'S READM.—Mr. Jae. E. Mar
doch gave a reading at Concert Hall, last. eve
ning, Wan immense audience. Mr. Murdoch is,
at any time, sure to have a full house when he
appears upon the platform. His' pure and ele
vated patriotism, the noble and unselfish work
performed by him during the war, and his
earnest and hearty advocacy of the cause of the
Union haveglven him a hold upon the hearts
of the people such as no other man in his posi
tioncan hope to obtain. If these did not ant
deo to attract the publics to his entertainments,
Lis eadzuscit tarot would. Mr. Murdoch is the

most accomplished and finished elocutionist in
this country. Ho has brought the art to' its
highest and nicest perfection, and natural and
graceful as are his inflections, there is not one of
them that is not the result of careful study.
It was generally thought that Mr. Murdoch
would read selections from Dickens last
evening, Tor the purpose of showing how very
superior his style is to that of the Immortal
Charles. This was not the case. Mr. Murdoch
read but a single chapter froth "Pickwick," and
he expressly stated that ho did so at the earnest
solicitation of the gentlemen under whose aus
pices the reading was given. It would be absurd
to attempt a comparative criticism of the two
men as readers. Mr. Murdoch's style Is wholly
and altogether different from that of Mr. Dick
ens. ' That of the former is the very perfection
of elocutionary art, and where Mr. Dickens sim
ply minri.a and personates, Mr. Murdoch, with
very little attempt at constantly
changing facial ' expression, only
declaims. In character parte, Mr. Murdoch, de
spite his triumphs upon the stage, is not as suc
cessful as he is as a reader of poems such, as the
"The Sleeping Sentinel," and Mr. Boker's "On
Board the Cumberland." The episode from "Pick
wick" was admirably done, last night, but Mr.
Murdoch was hardly so successful even as Mr.
Dickens in giving.vitality to the familiar person,
ages of the piece. The entertainment, however,
was very enjoyable, and the audience constantly
testified to their heartyappreciation by applaud
ing. It is to be hoped Mr. Murdoch will be induced
to give a series of these readings in this atty. His
personal popularity, apart from the attractive
ness of his style, will insure success.
THs THEATRES.—At the Chesnut Mr. John E.
Owens will appear in The Victims and Forty
Winks. Lady Don, at the Arch, will appear in
The Ladies Club and Lalla Rookh. At the Wal
nut, this evening, Mr. and Mrs. Sarney Williams
will appear in The Fairy Circle, The Rough Dia

difliculty with a man and had given him enough.
