 Augusta Chronicle 20 Apr 1880 p 1
Mother Takes Her Infant Six Months 
Old and Cuts Its Throat From Ear to
Ear, in McDuffie County, Four Miles 
From Thomson, While the Father is at 
Sunday School.

Last Sunday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock, Mrs. Emily Carter, the wife 
of a well known and highly respected citizen, Mr. Samuel Carter, who resides 
four miles from Thomson, took her little infant, six months old, and carried 
it to the woods, a short distance from the house, and then with her 
husband's razor, cut its throat from ear to ear, leaving it lying in the 
woods.  When her husband was returning from Sunday School he saw her coming 
from the woods.  Upon reaching the house he asked her where was the baby.  
She first answered that she had given it away, but afterwards said she had 
cut its throat and left it down in the woods.  Mr. Carter immediately sent 
for one or two of his neighbors, and searched for the child.  He soon found 
it dead, with its little throat cut.  Mrs. Carter is perfectly insane.  She 
was carried to jail yesterday morning.  She will probably be sent to the 
asylum.
