Harvey Jenney, q man about fifty years of
age, at the house. The Harnetts did not
return from their visit until the next
day, when the daughter had disappeared.
The neighhors suspecting something
wrong appeared at the house, and Jenney
told them that the child died on Sunday
night and that he had buried it in the
garden. The place was visited, and a
rough box unearthed containing the body
of the child. There was great excitemrnt
in the neighborhood, ana Squire John j.
Allison was sent for.
INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
An examination of the body convinced
those assembled that the child had not died
from natural causes and word was sent to

er's Jury rendered q verdict, that the child
was strangled by a rope or otherwise, by
the mother and Harvey Jenney.
Harvey Jenney, who has not lived with
his wife for some years, was often at Har-
nett's. His whereabouts now is not
known.
