Description
We learn from the Leavenworth Commercial that Mr. C. Roach, his wife and 5 children, who lived in a small wooden house on Olive Street, between Second and Third, South Leavenworth, were poisoned to death last Monday night. In the cellar were found Mr. and Mrs. Roach and their 2 youngest children, in the sitting or dining room 2 other children, and in the kitchen the eldest daughter, a fair and promising child. Suspicion points towards a colored girl, named Ann Squires, as the murderess. She had been a servant in the family about 2 months and during that time had been frequently heard to make threats. The girl is still at large, and it is thought has fled to Platte County. - - Kansas City Journal CommercialDate(s) of Creation
