How Ten Children We're Disposed of.
A Pole named Holm. living in the town
! of Lake, southern suburb of Chicago,
has been arrested on suspicion of having
caused the death of an infant recently born
to his wife. The couple have been living
in that neighborhoOd about eight years,
and children have been born to them with
unusual frequency, and have mysteriously
disappeared, causing much talk among
the neighbOrs, but no direct steps wore
taken until yesterday. After Holm's ar
rest he confessed that during the time he
had lived at Lake his wife had borne
eight children, all of whom died when
very young, and that whenever one of
them died he put it in a bag, carried it to
the shore of the lake and buried it in the
sand. He said that tho bodies of tho
eight infants were thus inferred between
Thirty-first and Forty third streets, Chi
cago. He also said that his wife consented
to this disposition of the bodies. He ad-
mits he sometimes hit the babies, but de-
nies that he killed them. He states,
moreover, that during a short residence in
Nebraska two children were born to them
and died in like manner.
