A HORRIBLE CRIME
Committed by German Servant Girl In
Massillon


One of the most terrible crimes in
the whole category came to the ears of
the police authorities on Tuesday.
William Q. Hoffman, proprietor of a
restaurant on Jarvis street. opposite
the tt. Wayne depot, reported the fol-
lowing facts to the authorities: Until
recently he has had in his employ
a girl named Katharine Simon. whom
Gne tanlly suspected of being pregnant.
TUESDAY morning she left very sudden
ly ana without cause, and went to
reside with relatives on the West Side.
Alter she had gone, spots of blood
were nOtlced on the carpet i'm her room
and she was suspected of having
committed lnfanticide. The officers
visited the place and found the body of
tully developed male child i'm a vault
where it had been thrown If was
taken In charge by undertaken Will
lams, and Coroner Cock notified who
arrived in this city yesterday morning.
ana In company with the Marshal he
visited the room which had been occu-
pied by the girl and made an examina-
ton. Besides the spots on the carpet
which had been partly erased, the same
tell tale evidence was found on both
sides of the mattress, and the bed Stats
upon which the mattress lay bore signs
OF having had the infants body laid
upon them under the mattress The
Coroner then visited the room where
the body of the child lay, and
with the assistance of Drs. Miller
and Pease, made an examination.
M marks of violence were discovered.
and yet upon further examination, the
doctors decided that the child had in
all probability been born alive, and the
Coroner said that in accordance with
the above facts he would render YER
dlct OF criminal infanticide, and report
the case to Prosecutor Welty, who
would notify our officers to make the
arrest. This inhuman mother is be-
lieved to be between % and 70 YEARS
old, native of Germany and has been
inthis country five months. The girl is
at present very sick and can not be ar
rested as she is unable to move.
