Montgomery Advertiser April 1884
Dicey Glass and her husband. Jim Glass, colored people living near Lineville, in 
Clay County, had a quarrel, when the husband left the house and went off to his 
work. When he returned, he found the lifeless body of their infant boy four 
months old lying on the floor of the cabin and beside it a bloody axe. The mother 
had split the child's head open with the axe, and then bundling up a few clothes 
was seen to go to Lineville where she deposited a portion of her budget and then 
took to the woods. Several parties have since been scouring the country in search 
of the murdering woman, but at last accounts she had succeeded in avoiding 
arrest.
