FULL
TEXT: A little daughter of a Mr. Martin, of Cassville, Parry county Mo., only
eight years old, deliberately shot and killed a brother of four years on the 4th
of July. She said she killed her brother “because he pulled her flowers and
declared “if the other children pulled any more of them, she would shoot them
too.” Her father found the infant murderess besmeared with blood, dragging her
mangled and bleeding brother from the room into the yard, when she let go her
victim, and turned and glared with a savageness said to be truly frightful. A
physician intimates that the girl was insane.
