his knowledge OF parliamentary law by
asserting that he knew that "the pre-

Mr.. Baker in his closing reply. The

Murder and Suicide.
A MOTHER MURDERS HER ONLY Son AMI
THEN TAKES POISON HERSELF. GnFAr
EXCITEMENT.

Great excitement and indignation has
prevailed in Bridport and vicinity over a
singular and, thus far, unaccounted.for
crime committed at the hotel, on Wed.
nesday morning, March !. the main facts
Of which are as follows:
In 1868, one Catherine McGinn mar.
ried man named Plum. The next year
their son, Patrick William, or Willie as
he was called, was born. Ia 1874 the
woman obtained divorce from her hus.
band, and the child continued to romain
with its mother. The father soon after
left town and now his whereabouts are
unknown.
For few weeks past Mrs. Plum has
been employed in Mr.. Phelps hotel, and
the boy lived with her as usual. On
Wednesday morning, quite early, the
child was taken suddenly ill with vomit.
ing, and soon after died No medical as.
sistance was called, the woman having
refused saying it was only worms.
Whether the woman became frightened
or whether it was premeditated plan
can not be found out but no sooner had
the child died than she made an attempt
at her own life by taking corrosive sub.
Innate, the same she had given to her
child, as she afterwards confessed.
The poor woman seemed determined TO
die, refused medicine though suffering OK.
IRENE agony, and finally died yesterday
morning, and thus ended the double
tragedy. II is thought she was led to the
terrible crime by her husbands desertion
causing her to determine to take her own
life, and the feeling that she could not
leave her boy behind,
The poison she had obtained of Mrs.
Phelps, saying she had discovered bed.
bugs in her room and wished to DESTROY
them.
Thursday evening an inquest was held
upon the body Of the boy and these facts
were ELECTED, and during the examination
the following statement was made by
Mrs. Phelps 81 met Kate in the hall
she threw her arms around my neck and
said. Forgive me, Mrs. Phelps for what
have DONE it will soon be over L
told her she must tell me what she had
done, keep nothing back, and asked her
if she had been taking poison, and she
replied that she had and that she had
given some to Willie, when Mr.. Phelps
called her in the morning. which was
about six or hali-past six, and had used
that which | had given her to destroy the
bed,bugs, which l SUPPOSE is corrosive
srbfimate. | asked her WHY she had
committed the act She replied that she
was tired of life and had given it to vii.
lie because she did not wish to leave him
behind
The child was buried on Friday after
noon
There has been no such crime in this
town since Charles Ball murdered his
father in 1924.

for their prcmptness and correctness in
