weeks old sleeping in bed and a little boy
three years old in the room. He was CAUTION

OF the child and fastening to the room she
found the little boy in the act of getting off
the bed, while the baby had its chest crushed
in, its collar bone broken, and otherwise SO Sc
verely injured that death ensued in twenty
four hours. 1t is impossible to tell how the in
