THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM El ELI), PA., MAY 28, 1878.
From the Altar to the Gallows.
A singular murder tm committed by a
Inkle In Georgia about eighteen months
bIiico. Bonn after the marriage of Mr.
Kobort Hothern, a handsome but wild
young fellow, to Misa Kate Hambrick, a
ball or parly was given at the dwelling of
her father, Mr llarabrlck, lu the fall of
1H70, in Pickens county. All the holies
and beaux of the neighborhood were in
vited and attended. Among the number
was a beautiful young womim by the name
of Narcissa Cowart. She, It seems, was
one of those handsome country girls who
knowing her charms, delighted in making
conquests of men, but never dreaming that
' harm would in any way result. Gay and
light-hearted, she pursued tho merry dance
from early evening until the hour of mid
night. At that fatal hour (the danced her
last dance with Mr. Sothern.
Kato, his wife, it appears, had become
jealous of the beautiful Narcissa, and early
in the evening informed her husband that
lie must not dauce with Miss Cowart or
speak to her during the night. To this, it
skoius, ho assented, but at 13 o'clock, to
the astonishment of Mrs. Sothern, she be
held Miss Narcissa Cowart upon the floor
dauciug with her husband. She calmly
walked up to her husband and informed
!iiiu that he had promised to dance that set
witli her. He remonstrated, but she per
mbUhI. At length, finding that the two
. were determined to dance through the set,
the jealous young wife turned and quietly
walked outmile to her father and demanded
the loau of his knife. Her father inquired
for what purpose she wanted it. She ro
plicd, " To cut a tooth brush." Remind-
ing her that it was rather late to bo cut-
ting tooth brushes, ho reluctantly handed
her his large pocket knife.
Returning to the dance lojni she found
that the dance was over. Watching with
frenzied eye, she soon espied the object of
lier jealous rage alone, dancing across the
room. Seizing her by the shoulder with
ono hand, she exclaimed :
" You liavo deceived enough !" and
brandishing the knife a moment over her
own shoulder, she pluuged it deep into the
girl's neck. The warm blood shot from
tho wound to a wall five feet distant. Still
another blow was dealt, and the sharp
knife penetrated deep into tho left breast.
A third blow was given as the girl fell, and
site lay dead on the iloor.
Confusion and amazument were never
greater. Some one asked to know who was
the man that struck that woman. Mrs.
Sothern exclaimed (irmly :
."J am the man that did it !"
The excited people rushed to tho doors
and said that no one should pass. Sothern
at once took his wife by the arm and
tuul :
" Gentlemen, I am going to leave this
house and take my wife."
His remarks were made emphatic by the
exhibition of a dangerous looking pistol in
his band. The people allowed him to pass.
Sothern and his wife made good their es
cape, and though Miss Cowart's family of
fered a reward of f250, for their arrest and
the Governor added $100 ; a year elapsed
before any tidings were made public of the
fugitives. Then, in January, they were
found in Franklin county, North Carolina.
The history of their escape and capture is
very romautio, and they were considering
the propriety of returning and giving them
selves over to the law when arrested. At
tho time of her capture, in January last,
Mrs. Sothem had her first child in her
arms.
Tho whole family were placed in Pickens
jail, together with two or three others en
gaged in the affair.- Last month at Pickens
t'ounty Superior Court the case against
Kate Sothern was taken up for trial, Judge
George N. Lester, presiding. The case oc
cupied four days in trial. Every particle
of evideuce possible on either side was
brought out, and every legal point was.
hotly contested. After an exhaustive
trial, on Saturday, the 28th ult., the young
bride of a year ago was fouud guilty of
murder, and was sentenced to be hanged on
the 21st of June. The woman held her
child in her arms throughout the trial.
Wlieu sentence was pronounced, she was
completely overcome. A motion for a new
trial was made, and was hoard on Mon
day, the 13th inst. It is more than proba
ble that the caso will reach the Supreme
Court, as the application for a new trial
was denied.

Mrs. Kate Southern to imprisonment in
the penitentiary for 10 years.
