A Drunken Demon Beats His Wife to
Death with Her Dead Babe.
CHICAGO, Oct. IA drunken husband
committed last night an act which could
scarcely be exceeded for brutality and in
humanity. Michael Shay and his wife Mary
lived at 400 South Clark street Last even
ing about six o'clock DR.. Camp was called
in to attend Mrs. Shay, who shortly
after gave birth to a still-born
babe. About eight o'clock he was again
called in, and found the woman in an al
most dying condition, which, it was APP
parent to him, was not the result of mater
nifty. Feeling that she had been abused by
some one he summoned into the house
Officer Patrick Walsh and told him his
opinion. This led to inquiries, and to
statements from Clyde Nelson and wife, liv-
ing at the corner of Seventeenth and Clark
streets. They say that they were in the
sick wOmanS room when her husband
Michael came in in an intoxicated condition.
Seeing his wife lying helpless in the bed
and the dead babe by her side, and finding
no liquor in the house to still further brutal
ize himself, If that were possible, he picked
up the dead infant and commenced to beat
his wife with it. From the effects Of that
sickening brutality Mary Shay died about
eleven o'clock last night. Shay was arrest
ed and is now locked up in the Harrison
Street Station.
