made that policy and led you to victory

WICHITA, Kan, Mar. S.-The coroner .
jury in the case OF the dead infant found on
Santa Ifs train yesterday, with its head
crushed returned verdict of 'died from
lack of nourishment." The coroner, how
ever, was dissatisfied with the verdict and
swors out warrants against Otto and Mrs.
Bulkeit, who occupied the seat where the
body was found. At the Inquest Mrs. Bur
kett said che left the body on the train with
the feeling that nothing remained but to
bury it, and others could do 1t as we'll as
she. Ga arrival here she had said nothing
about the babe and thought she would hu,h
the matter up. She did not know the name
of the woman CT whom she got the child.
Otto Burkett corroborated his mothers
story. There ia considerable mystery about
the CAGE and many rumors are siioat.

there might be no harm to come from the
