have TO do his kicking alone. Neither

slightest assistance in his threatened can

Mr.. John Morley will move that an

next request is made it is accompanied by

A SAD CASE.

A Mother Never Releases Hold OF Her Chile
During Four Years.
About four years ago John Evans, o.
Martins Ferry, left his wife and child.
At about the same time this wife, Jennie
Evans, showed signs Of mental derange
ment and became possessed with an idea
that the husband would come back and
steal the child away from her. From thai
time forth she never allowed the child to
be alone, and held to its left wrist all the
time. When she would be employed at
her housework she still held to the child,
and sleeping and waking it was all the
same. This continued holding Of th'
child's arm caused it to cease to grow
and it is now little more than hall
az large az the other arm. Sometimes
the woman becomes violent and would
beat the child. Yesterday she struck her
with bucket, and her neighbors, fearfu !
lest she might iDure her offspring called
Officer westwood to the scene. He placed
the child under the care Of a neighbor and
locked the mother up in Jail. She will be
given a hearing this morning and will
probably be sent to the asylum. The
child's case is pitisble one. She has
never been allowed to 20 to school, or re-
ceive any moral OF mental training. She
has never been allowed any Of the amuse-
ments of other children except such as she
could have with her mothers hand or her
arm. A REGISTER man once saw the
