NO CLUE YET FOUND.
Person Who Poisoned Little Albert
Ednett Still Unknown.
Four Months-0Id Infant Given Car.
bolic Acid in a Hospital
Buried in POtter's Field, but the
Body Will BE Exhumed.

The mystery surrounding the poison
cid baby, at the Memorial Hospital for
Women and Children. Brooklyn, is as
far from any solution as 1t was on Fri
day. the day the deadly ca.b1lic acid was
given TO the helpless infant.
The police are all at sea regarding the
case and II is more than likely that the
case will ever remain unsolved. Who
ever administered the poi.pn left nd
trace whatever. and Detective Lyon. wind
is assigned on the case. can discover nd
clue whatever to york en-.
The hospital authorities are confiGenu
that the poison was not taken from the
medicine closet of the institution. and
no strange person was seen about the
grounds between IL and . o'clock on
Friday afternoon. during which hours
the poison was given to the ci lid.
No bottle which contained carbolic
acid could be found. and whoever ad-
ministered it covered up their tracks
most effectively. Despite the mothers
protests. her child was buried IN the
Potter's Field yesterday afternoon by
tndertaker Ruoif. of 100 Busnwick ave.
nue..
Both Mrs. Ednet. and her MOI her MRS.
Carrier. were at the hospital during the
autopsy. which revealed beyond any
doubt that the child died of carbolid
acid poisoning A large amount waa
given, and the baby died in terrible
agony.
tnucrtakcr Ruoff asked Mrs. Ednett
If she had enoLgh money to bury her
child. She said she didn't just them
but could get IL. The undertaken then
replied he would rather have the city
money than a woman's promises. and
despite the fact that Supt. Black, OF the
hospital. requested that the body be
held until to-day. the little one was
hustled to the rity's burial ground.
Mrs 1Idnett then saw Coroner Kene!
and after much effort succeeded in
getting u permit 10 eNhume the body
which will ho done to-day. 1t will then
be turned over to the mother and will
receive II Christian burial.
Miss Martha Black. Superintendent OF
the hospital. denies Airs Ednetts accu-
sation that the hospi. al nurses were In
any way "oncernel In causing the child s
death. and is positive that neither
Nurses Cash nor McC,ucheon know any
thing about the matter. Mrs: Ednett
says that Nurse Cash did not like chill
uren.
The distracted mother thinks the pol1
son was given to stop the chill's cryingl
She does not believe that any one outsidd
the institution had anything to do with

INVESTIGATING COLLISIONS.
steam boat inspectors Inquire In
TO Those of July ~.

Local Inspectors Samuel G. Fairchili
and Thomas II. Barrett, of the United
States Steamboat Inspection Bureau. be
gan this morning an investigation into
the causes which led to the collision be-
tween steamers on the night of July IL
The first inquiry related to the ram
ming of the Starin steamer Glen by the
tug Henry NJ. Palmer. Capt c. \. Crabb.
of the Glen; Capt. Emil Johns on. Of the
Palmer and Pilot j. A. wilson. Of the
Glen. were examined.
From the testimony 1t appears that
the only point of difference between the
officers of the Glen and those OF the
Palmer was as TO the number of whistles
blown by the Palmer The Palmer peo-
pie declare that one whistle was the only
signal given. The Glen'R officers admit
they heard one whistle but claim II was
followel by two more. One whistle is
the port and two whistles the starboard
signal.
1t was shown that the excursion
steamer Bay Queen was in the immc-
d!ate vicinity AZ the time, AMI the Pal
mers pil1, Gains that she and not the
2 Palmer blew two whistles. If this is true
the Palmer will doubtless be held blame
less for crashing into tn Glen.
The Inspectors viii probably reserve
their decision until they have concluded
the series of Investigations ON hand.

JUDGE MOORE'S REMARKS.
He Spells n Prospective Junketing
Trip Of the Grand Jury.

Judge Moore in the Court Of Sessions.
Brooklyn. this morning, was very much
wrought up over a report that the
Grand Jury was preparing for junket
down to the County Farm at st. John
land
He hastily summoned Assistant Dis
trict-Attorney Clarke and told him 10
go to the Grand Jury and tell the mem
bers that he considered 1t very I'M
Wise thing for them to do at this time.
He was SO determined about the matter
that he said that If Mr.. Clarkes visit to
the Grand Jury was not sufficient he
should summon them before him for a
lecture which they would understand.
Mr.. Clarke hurried to the jury-room
and returned in few minutes with the
informa ton that the jury would remain
In the citv.
Judge Moore said that It was an in
formal outrage that n Grand Jury should
plan junket out of town while the
jail was fun of prisoners whose cases
should be acted upon and not be unnec-
essarily detained In Jail during the hot
weather"
1t is said that the Grand Jury did not
relish Judge Moore's action. but consid-
cred It the best policy to acquiesce in it,.
