Murder at the o’Neil Family
in Overloiii County“
One of the most extraordinary cases of
murder was tried in our Supreme Court a
few days since that has ever been brought
under legal‘tnvestigalion. Patsey A. 'l‘rox
dale, Nicholas Stephens, and Wm. E. Up
ton. were indicted and convicted in Over
ton county. (Tennessee,) for the murder of
the O'Neil family. consisting of the father
and mother and five children. embracing
the whole family except Patsey A. 'l‘rox
dale. who was a daughter of old O’Neil.—
The three defendants were all found guilty
of murder in the firstide’gree. and senten
ced to be hung. Upon appeal to the Su
preme Court, a new trial was granted
mainly upon the ground that one of the ju
rors had formed and expressed an opinion
as to the gutlt of the parties before he was
chosen as a juror.
It appears from the record that the mur
der was committed in Overton county. a
bout the let of September. 1846. The de
fendants were implicated solely upon :ir
cumstlnlial evidence. Edward O‘Neil. the
head of the family, was a man of Violence.
and addicted to tntemperance. He was
living in the mountains with his wife and
six children—they were poor people. and
no suspicion exists as to the murder hav
ing been committed for money. The
proof shows that Patsey A. 'l‘roxdale was
living with her father at the time ; that she
was a girl of easy virtue, and that the fam
ily did not live iii the utmost harmony; btit
no very serious antmoarty is shown to have
existed between the daughter and her fath
er‘ and none whatever between her and the
other mcnrbers of the family. it seems
that the defendants, Stephens and Upton,
were on the premises. in company With
Patsey, in an outehouee on the night of
3Frtday. and nothing is shown to have 0c
1 curred afterwards. throwing light upon the
transaction, until Sunday morning. when it
was discovered that the house in which
O'Neil lived was burned down. When
this discovery was made. the fire was still
burning. and upon examination the bodies
of O'Neil anti his Wife and their five chil.
dren, were found piled upon each other un
der the floor. the body of the youngest
child. about two years old, being at the
bottom and that of the lather on the top.—
The head and legs of the old man were
burned off—the other bodies were much
burnt—the skulls of the children were bro
ken and mashed. as if With an axe. In
the yard an axe was found with blood and
hair upon it. Petsey was present when
the house was discovered to be burnt. and
in conversation with some of the Witnesses
she told where lter father and mother and
brothers and sisters were. and that they
lay in the hole. Her account was found
to be correct. Several articles of clothing
and other chattels were found in an otit
house. having been apparently removed
from thedwelling before it was burnt.
These are some of the leading facts in
the ease. Such a murder seldom occurs.
A father and mother. With five children. are
murdered in cold blood, deposited in a hole
under the floor. and fire set to the build
ing. A daughter is charged and convicted
of this horrible crime. aided br Stephens
and Upton. The Supreme Court have
granted a new trial, arril we hope that more
light may be thrown upon thehorriil trans
action. Judge 'l‘urley delivered the optn
ion of the Court in the case, and we set
diim heard so eloquent an opinion deliver
ed in our courts—A’m/ivillc Union.

But what will the Emperor care for this

besides, assurances of unlimited support
from the Czar in the crusade that is to be
