The London Times has an account of the finding in
the names of the body of male infant having
around it large bag Of stones The superintendent
of the Reading police caused photograph likanesses
Of the body to be taken, placing them in the win
dows Of the police station, and sending them to Va
rious towns. The Ikenesses attracted the attention
Of the master of the work house at Henley, and he
recognized resemblance in them to the child of a
young woman named Mary Newell, who had left the
work,house few days previously. The young
woman was sought for and she found at resi-.
deuce of her mother, without her child. She was
arrested, and being charged with the murder of the
child, she admitted that having been to Reading 70
see its father and he refusing to give her any money
to maintain it. she went to the river at midnight and
threw the child in Her confession was corroborated
by various Circumstances This is certainly re-
markable case-the likeness of the murdered child
leading to the detection fits inhuman mother as The

it not well known that in the cities Of Paris London
