Terrible Case of Infantcide Discovered
Near Shelbyville.
SHELBYvILLE, Sept 14-An inquest at the
residence of Mrs, Mary Quigley, living twelve
miles northeast of this city, on the dead body
of an infant brought out the following facts:
The child was the illegitimate offspring of
Lucinda Quigley, daughter of Mrs. Mary
Quigley and was born on Wednesday. The
grandmother is alleged to have requested
Mrs. Fetterow, who was assisting her, to
cause the child to bleed to death, as she did
not want it to live. The young mother
pleaded in vain. The old lady,it is alleged,
attempted to choke the child to death, but
was prevented from so doing by Mrs. Fette-
row, who took the child away and laid it on
bed. Next morning, when Mrs. Fetterow
returned to see the baby, she found that it
had been buried Knowing that all was not
right she sent word to the coroner, who went
out and asked the old lady to show him
where it was buried. She complied, and the
body was found in pasteboard box, covered
by about six inches of dirt. On examination
the jury returned a verdict to the effect that
the child came to its death by violence, hav-
ing its head mashed in, and that it is their
belief that the deed was committed by Mrs.
Mary Quigley.
