for obvious reasons, but who in this nara

mained for few days and on the 18th Of
February left Boston for Somerville, going
to the house of the Smiths. Shortly after
her arrival she was delivered OF fptus, and
for while exhibited symptoms of getting
we'll. Soon, however, her illness took an
unfavorable turn and on the 25,h she died.
DR.. Kimball and the madame had ple-
viously been notified and the doctor went to
see Merville, arriving there shortly after
Jennies death. and assisting in packing up
the body, and with pair Of dentists for
ceps cutting off the nose Of the dead girl.
The body Of Miss Clark was then put into a
trunk and on the following evening Kimball
