pose. She was gone two or three nin
utes, and when she came back the
twins, which she had seen lying upon
the floor, where they We're born alive
and crying, were in the fire and struy-
Cling witt: their little hands and feet.
Mrs. Pierce told the woman to tell her

Mrs. Pierce. i warrant WAS imme-
diately issued, charging Mrs. Pierce
