this morning by Coroner Samuel Beach upon
the body of colored male child, named James
Washington, six months old, and the verdict Of
the jury, of which Edward Quinn was foreman
was that the child was smothered to death
through the neglect of its mother. No inquest
would have been held-asit was apparent that
the mother had killed the child by lying upon
it inlher sleep-had it not been that its father
had said before leaving home the evening pre-
vious to it's death that he expected to have a
funeral at his house in a short time.
