How AN lNHUMAN MOTHER DISPOSED
OF HER CHILD.-An inquest was held to-day
in the case Of female infant that was found
in the North river, at the foot of west 39th
street, on the 18th ult. II was shown that on
the day in question, BRIDGET Kelly, a hotel
servant, was seen to throw a bundle In the
water, and some bOatman found i'm it the
body OF the child. Bridget said that the child,
which was dead when she threw ii in the
water, was not hers, and that she had not
lately become mother. The latter state
meDt was proved TO be false by medical eX-
animation, and Bridget confessed To a police
officer that the child was the result of her
being seduced by Charles Cooper, a gambler
residing at the GilSey House. To-day il was
proved that the child was born alive, but it
was not shown that death was caused by
asphyXia, the result of immersion. There
was no proof besides that Bridget was tie
mother of the child, but IT was clearly shown
that she went on the pier and deliberately
threw tne child in the water. the jury agreed
on the following verdict That the said
child was thrown by said Bridget Kelly into
the North river, at the foot of 3gth street on
the 18th day of August, 1915 Bridget was
committed to await the action of the grand
jury. y. Commercial, 18Th.
