THAT BABY FARM CASE.
General Summing Up of the Points iD
Defeuse of Mrs. Smith.

DeIebse Oh MfH' shliths
HARTFORD Sept 2.-The defense Of
Mrs. Virginia 4. Smith, the missionary OF
the City Mission. charitable organiza-
tion of this city, against the charges Of
George w. Fowler. first selectman, made
In bis report TO the board OF selectmen
Aug 3. IL made public 1t was written
and Is signed by John Hooker reporter of
the supreme court, and husband of Is
abella Beecher Hooker, both of whom are
life friends Of Mrs Smith.
The defense accuses Mr.. Fowler OF per
sonal hostility TO Mrs. Smith of long
standing, which began with his opposl.,
tion TO legislation for the care of neglected
children In temporary county homes In
stead of ip almshouses Mr.. Hooker
claims that Mrs. Smith is not responsible
for the neglect TO comply with the law in
not notifying selectmen when young chill
dren were placed out TO BOARD, and insists
that the charge of frauds and populations
by Mrs Smith in placing children out for
adoption Is not proven, the principal wit
pesses who made afiidavits on this point
being untrustworthy.
Claim Is made that illegitimate children
for whom Mrs. Smith found homes should
receive tender care and be brought mp in
virtuous surroundings. Mrs. Smith, In
fifteen years and six months, has found
homes for 1900 children. But twenty-nine
of these were illegitlmato, Of whom one
half were placed out direct by their moth
ers, who paid for their board. The impii-
cation by Mr.. Fowl er that Mrs. Smith
had cared for unfortunate women at her
own home is controverted and claim
made that th ere has been but one illeGiti-
mate birth at her house in fifteen years
Much space is given TO the celebrated
"Annie Brown" case and it is claimed
that secrecy in such cases is in the interest
of humanity. Mr.. Fowler is accused Of
distorting and misapplying certain words
of Mrs. Smith, which he quoted. Mr..
Hooker says that the charge that the
/. "baby farms" have been made n place OF
convenience for unfortunate girls is not
substantiated by any evidence
