that city the other day, the alleged result of
the Murphy meetings A sad vissged man
called at a house where he had heard "a
healthy infant had been left till a home
could be found for it, and asked to see the
baby. Taking the child on his knee he re-
marked, after carefully examining it: you
are not my baby; hoped you was" Then
he explained to the wondering family as fol-
lows: MY wife and | were happy with each
other and the baby till the meetings began.
Then she insisted on going to them all, and
| stayed at home with the baby. After
awhile she began to scold me for not going
myself. l told her couldn't as long as she
went, and when I was free to go out wanted
to choose my own places of resort. Then the
old mother in-law came in between us, and l
finally told my wife that couldn't stand it
any longer. and that we must separate. So
she went off with the baby. and l don't care
to see her again, but do want my child, and
didn't know but she had left it here"
