CHARGE OF WnsuL MURDER.—Adelaide. Freedman, a
Jewess, late of 71, Rutland-street, Mile-end-town, near
the London Hospital, was brought before Mr. Woolrych
by Police-sergeant Briden of the K detective force,
charged with poisoning her infant by administering to it
salts of lemons, and with afterwards attempting to com-
mit suicide. The prisoner is about 30 years of age. She
was taken into custody by Briden last night in the London
Hospital, and appeared very weak and ill. Her husband
has been seeking his fortunes in Peru for the last
five gyears. About a year ago she formed an
adulterous intercourse with a man dwelling in the neigh-
bourhood of Whitechapel, by whom she became pregnant.
She gave birth to a child about five weeks ago, and as she
expected her husband home shortly, she feared be would
discover her infidelity, and procured salts of lemon, which
she adntiuiatered to the child, and it soon afterwards ex-
pired. She procured the salts of lemon from a chemist
under the pretence of wanting it to remove stains and
iron moulds from linen. The poison was distinctly labelled
on two small packets of the acid. In a fit of remorse
she afterwards swallowed some of the stuff and was taken
to the London Hospital. The purchase of the two penny
worth of salts of lemon, and the admission to her landlady
that she had given some of it to her child, was proved.
Briden raid an inquest had been held on the body of the
child. Tho contents of the &toniach had been forwarded
to Dr. Letherby for analysis, and the inquiry was ad-
journed.
Mr. Woolrych said the inquiry could not be completed
this day, and remanded tho prisoner for a week.
