SUPPOSED 1NfANTICIDE,
And Arrest Of o Kentucky Legislator
on Suspicion.

Shortly after daylight this morning
while Ofiicsf Esallwood was making his
rounds In the alley in the rear of Hunts
Hotel he came across q newly-born male
child wrapped up in sheet
The back of the child's head was badly
bruised, and it was barely alive when picked
up. The officer took the child to the
Ninth-street Station-house and from there
to the Hospital.
1t is supposed that the babe had been
thrown from rear window of Hunts Hv-
tel, as it was found directly in the rear of
the house. Suspicion points to young
couple who came to the hotel last night
and occupied room overlooking the alley.
This morning the couple left rather mys-
teriously.
LATER. w. Perry, member of the
Legislature from Owen County, KY, was
arrested this afternoon on Suspicion and
taken before Colonel Carson.
He says that he came to the city yester-
day with girl named Eliza Adams, who
has been in his employ since last De.
cember as servant girl. That two
weeks ago something wrong was no.
ticed with the girl, and that
she wanted to 60 to her home at Van
Vert Ohic. He offered to come as far as
Cincinnati with her and did so; that they
stopped at Hunts last night, she occupy
ing room No. 80 and he No. 40; that this
morning he took her to the G., H. q d.
Railroad Depot and put her on the train.
He denies knowing that anything had
occurred to the girl.
The bed and room occupied by the girl
indicates that she is the mother of the
child. ...- s.5..s +-'-
The girl has probably been arrested by
this. time at Lima, Ohio, and will be
brought back here if she has. Officer Joe
Smith, Of the s. P. G. A.. is the officer who
took the child to the Hospital, and not Of
fcer 6lnallwood.
