was Given to Carry.

The Burden New Haven EXpressman
was Given to Carry.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, March while
Thomas Gibbs, Il licensed expressman,
was standing in line with others OF his
craft outside the Union Station in this
city about $3.50 last evening, he observed
a well-dressed man of medium height ap-
preaching the line from the side of the
station. The stranger carried large
valise. The expressman hailed him and
secured the job of carrying the valise TO
NO. Oh Elm street, and informing the
people living there that they might expect
the owner of the Valise at 9:30 O'Clock
Gibbs was warned to handle the Valise
with care as it contained glass. The
expressman took the valise, placed it be-
side him in the wagon and hurried off to
the indicated part of Elm street, nearly
two miles from the station. He failed to
find any such number as 512. There are
no houses between Nos. 506 and 512. He
carted the valse back to the station and
left 1t in the baggage room. About half
an hour later sounds as of baby crying
were heard to issue from the Valise. Po-
liceman Bradley pried the valse open
and found that 1t contained, warmly clad
and moaning in its sleep, a pretty girl
baby about week old. Beside the child
lay quantity of clothing and nursing
bottle full of milk. The police wagon
was called and the waif taken to the
almshouse. No clue as to the identity of
the patron of EXpressman Gibbs has been
obtained.
Gibbs says he now remembers
that the stranger studiOusly
avoided going near enough to the
street lamp to allow anyone to get
good look at his face. just as the 9:1O
train was leaving the station for New
York, an unknown man answering the
imperfect description given by Gibbs
rushed through tue station and across the
platform to the last car on the train. He
succeeded in catching it and swinging
himself aboard. The presumption is that
he had come from New York on the early
evening train, and that he took the first
train back. The child had evidently been
dru9ged to prevent its making an Outcry
on its trip with Gibbs to Elm street. The
baby clothes in the valise were of the
costliest kind, but not knew. The child,
If it lives, will remain at the almshouse
until it is years old, when il will be
taken to one of the orphan asYlums or to
the County Home
