The discovery of dead child in Prov idence,
and the suspicion Of its murder, led the authori-
ties of the city to make thorough investiga-

The mother of the child was an unmarried
woman, by the name of Mary Rafferty,. She
died from the effects of a delivery, effected by
herself, and, without disclosing the cause of
her illness TO her parents or friends, allowed
death to seal her lips. She was buried under
the certificate of physician, "cause unknown"
and was buried in North Providence. Applica-
ton being made for the exhumation OF the body
the coroner OF North Providence allowed it, on
condition that the city of Providence should
pay the expenses. This was agreed to, and the
examination of the body, thus eXhumed, be-
trayed the whole mystery.
