Sir on the 15^th I held an Inquest on the body of a white woman about 25 years old, near the third (3^rd) street road and about three (3) miles from the City of Louisville. She has been Murdered by some one unknown to me,

Her wounds are as follows a cut over each Eye one on forehand Forehead one just in front of Right Ear, Several Bruises on inside of right thigh and a wound which looked as though the flesh was twisted out her intestines was puled from her body through the Fundament Showing an act of the moste Diabolical rufianian the intestines cut or pulled loose from her body. Her cloths were all torne off of her not a Partickel remaining on her except one garter. Her right arm had been amputated just below the shoulder. the Evidences was plain of a sever strugle with some one. from all I can learn I think a Negro did it.
