Children Starved to Death.
SINGULARLY nEARTIEsS CASE OF pEsERrIoN ny A


MOTHER.
most heartlesS and brutal case OF deser, ion has
just come to light In Cleveland, Ohio. About two
weeks ago handsome lady called on the family OF
Mt SwitZer, on Gilbert street. and stated that she
had some trouble with her husband, and asked Mr.
SwltZer If he would allow her TO remain and board
with his family. She was accompanied by her two
children, beautiful boy two years Of age, and a
babe about eleven months Old. She appeared very
ladyilke and remained at the house three dayS
when she suddenly disappeared. a few DAYS after
the Switzer family also disappeared. The neigh
borS Thought nothing strange about IL, as IL was
considered that they had gone visiting for a short
time. Yesterday morning several persons while
passing the house heard cries OF distress Several
went TO the doors and windows and found every.
thing securely fastened. They heard fgiat cries
colnln. from the interior OF the residence The
'front.' door was broken open and the searching
party entered the house. In the sitting room a
most pltlful sight met their eyes Lying urpon a
little cot was the elnacated form Of the little babe
III was just breathing Its last when taken In the
arms or one OF the women. The little boy Law on
The floor, and famished lie had lust strength
10 utter felnt, incoherent cries He was picked up
and suitable nourtshment given him. II seems that
locked the children In the house. and they had
been In there for three or four days before they
were discovered No explanation is given The
Switzer family have disappeared and so has the
mother OF the children. Five hours more and
the little boy would have been starved to death.
The citizens are very indignant at the brutal treat
ment the innocent children received, and would be
liable TO take the law into their own hands could
they flnd the heartleSS people.

DISPUTE AS TO ITS FINAL DISPOSITION.
This afternoon Mr.. Charles S Moore, as attor-
ney for Mrs NJ. f. Belts, the widow OF Colonel
W. II. Belts who died in Alexandria on Satur-
day night, filed an affidavit OF Mr.. Chas. Pelham in
the register OF Wills office controvertng the state
ments made by W. E. Schafrer in his petition for
letters OF administration as creditor OF the eS-
tate.
and his wife had lived separate for twelve years,
and asserts that within a very short time OF his
death they were IN correspondence. He alleges
that Sha1fer knew the assertion that they had Sep
arated was false. He asserts that Shaffer took
possession OF the bulk OF Belts effects, five hundred
and forty five dollars in money, and other articles,
and he believes the undertakerS charge OF $152 50
have been paid by Shaffer. He further states that
from his knowledge OF the relations between Belts
and Shaf1er the charge that The latter had loaned
Belts money Is fraudulent one, made for the pur-
pose OF obtaining the letters OF administration. Mr.
Pelham further asks that no letters be granted
until MIS- Belts makes application therefor
