| Young Scandinavian woman, named Annie
Christopher, about % years old. Upon be-
ing INTERCEPTED, she at first denied giving
birth TO q child, but being pressed, she
finally acknowledged that this morning
about . o clock, she gave birth to dead
child while alone in the wood.sbed, and
then threw IL into the street. An inquest
was held, and the county physician, after
havlng held an examination OF the child
testified TO the best of his belief and
knowledge that the infant had reached the
age OF eight months of intra-
uterine life, but could not say whether il
was living or dead nj birth. The Jury re-
turned verdict In conformity with the
| physlcian's testimony. While the evidence
| is such as to preclude the supposltion OF in.
ianticide, there are circumstances attaching
TO the occurrence that are suspicious. On
the head OF the infant is n confusion. This
may have been caused by an instrument or
| by the head striking the ground when
thrown into the street by its inhuman
mother. The girl is under the eye of the
police while the case is being further inves.
| tigated.
