With Her Babe She Jumped Four
Stories to Death.
HER HUSBAND UNDER SUSPICION
They Have Been Living UphappiIy Of Late
and Had just Finished q 0usrrel-Tho
Case viii be Looked Into Further
To-Day.

BosroN, June 2o.--The passers-by at
Che corner Of Shawmut avenue and West
Dedham street about o'clock last night
were horrineu to see woman with an
infant In her arms strike the sidewalk In
front of the four-story brick building
numbered go shawmut avenue. The
woman was MRS. Susan 5ewall and the
child her infant daughter, Grace NJ, 9
months old. Both are dead. The woman
struck on her head and shoulders, and
hsr skull wGs crushed like an egg shell.
She lived but few moments after strik-
ing the sidewalk.
Dr.. Psrnald had been hurrisdly sum-
moned and found her pulse beating faint
ly, but all was soon over. The child fell
under the woman and received concuss-
ion Of the brain, compound fractures OF
the right shoulder, right hip and wrist.
An of1cer from station wrapped the
child up in . blanket and started TO carry
It In his arms to the city hospital. While
going through Springfield street the
now lies on marble slab In the morgue.
The woman's body had been carried
In the hallway of the house from the
fourth story window OF which she had
Just jumped, out Of the sight OF curious
mob that had gathered and was morbidly
gazing on tu0 cOrp00s
From all that could be learned the
woman made = deliberate and sue
cessful attempt ct self destruction. Why
she carried the baby to horrible death
will never be known.
The husb band of the woman, VIM. H.
6ewall, was taken into custody by an Of
fcsr and looked mp ct station 3 on suspic-
ion and to await an examination by the
court.
The Isehars, Julius and Dora, who oc-
cupy the tenement In the rear of the
fourth floor, and from whom the Sewalls
hired one room, were also taken to the
station. They agreed to appear In court
and were Released upon their own recog-
nixance.
The Sewalls have been married for
nearly two years, but OF late have lived
unhappily and disagreements have been
frequent. It 10 said that they had had a
quarrel but few moments before Mrs.
Bewall committed her rash act, and that
the husband had left the room in a rage
and had gone, as she thought, from the
house. Be that a. IL may, he was found
In the upper part of the house when
search was made for him by the officers.
Medical Examiner Draper was sum-
moned and was of the opinion that Mrs.
6ewali had deliberately jumped from the
window. He thought 1t best, however,
that the husband be arrested and that he
be discharged by the court IL there was
no ground for his arrest shown.
Mrs. Sewau was 22 years OF age, and her
husband six years her senior. A further
examination will be made today.

blown open last night ap 400 in money
taken. The store IL on North Main street

the explosives, placed bags Of grain about
1t and caused the explosion. The outside

over the floor Of the Office.
The explosion did not cause much con-
cussion apparently, for not even light
of glass was broken, and no one has been
found who heard any report. The police
at the station heard no unusual noise,
ana the station doors, they ciaim, were
open all night.
The burglar probably realized he was
doing desperate deed, and prepared to
do more desperate one for he had his
revolver on chair close by ready for in
stant use. In his hurried exit he left it
lying there and the police now have II,
from which to extract clue. The burg
lar had the advantage Of working In
