Was 1t Infanticide?

There is ginhouse about three miles
from Arlington, where a number of men
work and three of them sleep in the build
ing. A few nights since these three men
heard the noise of a human in the engine
ROOM and proceeded to see who was max
ing it. Quietly peering into the room, they
saw man busily engaged in putting to-
gether rough board coffin-shaped box. The
men kept still and watched for develop
meuts. As soon as the box was finished
the maker shOuldered it and left the gin
house. Thoroughly aroused and interested,
the three men watching followed the man
and box TO a house near by, which the man
entered. remained a short time and then
came ont, again carrying the box, but APP
parently heavier than before. He pro-
ceeded to the dam of a tank near by and
buried his box in 4 hole already made there,
then returning to the house from which he
had started.
The three mystifled watchers notified
County Attorney Gillespie and Sheriff
Richardson the next day, and as n conse-
quence Assistant County Attorney Latti-
more went to Arlington to investigate.
He took with him two doctors, unearthed
the box and found in it the body af foetus
of about seven months. The physicians
made careful examination of the body,
but could find no marks of violence what
ever.
Inquiry revealed the fact that the day be-
fore young woman who mad recently COM
menced cooAn,y FOR the men working at the
ginhouse, ant'who was a stranger in that
sectiIl, received a severe shock of terror
caused by the sudden and very shrill
whistling of the engine whistle when she
was close to il, and in consequence of the
fright gave premature birth to a child. Not
knowing anyone, and being ignorant as to
what to do, she had her brother-in-law, at
whose house she slept, to make coffin for
the child, and he buried it as stated above.
The unfortunate woman is the wife of 4
gambler, and has been separated from him
for several months.
Learning the above facts, the county
attorney decided that he would take no
further action in the matter
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-11-05

Below is given the result so far as re-
turns Were obtainable up to I; p. m. last eve
ming. There are eleven county voting places
to hear from, and the chances are that a
majority Of these boxes will give a majority
against levying the tax, but not sufficient,
it is thought, to defeat the measure. The
voting was exceedingly IighC-the oppo-
nents in the country precincts going to the
polls, while amaiority of those who favored
the measure and the didn't cares" re-
manned at home:

and do not indorse the action of the council
in letting these men out. Besides this, the
sicners of these petitions refer to the con-
duct of the patrolmen let out, their efficient
service while on the force, and the fact that
the city had none too many police before
the cut was made, and a further fact that
the police force is self-sustaining at least
ten months out of the twelve in year. and
ask the council to reconsider their action
and reinstate the four men referred to.
The petitions are now in the hands of the
chairman Of the police committee, Jesse
Jones, and a report will no doubt be sub
mitted next Tuesday NIGHT.
