John Burns Said His Wife Smooth
cred Their Baby.
She Was Arrested but Was Dis
charged in Court.

John Burns. Of TAI Second avenue. was
q very excited man when he rushed into
the East Thirty-nfth street police station
last night and asked for a policeman.
He said his wife. Katie, had smothered
their two-months-old baby by lying on 1t
while she was intoxicated.
The woman was arrested. and this
morning she was arraigned In the York
Vile Police Court.
Policeman Binning said he found Mrs.
Burns perfectly sober, but nevertheless
he placed her under arrest on her hus-
bands charge OF infanticide. She denied
the charge. and said that the baby had
died from commissions.
Mrs. Burns. who IL a quiet, unassum-
ing little woman. said that her husband
had invented this charge simply to get
rid OF her. She said that the baby had
died a natural death and that her hus-
band knew IL.
She admitted that on the night OF its
death the baby was in bed with her. but
said IL she had smothered II the child
death would have been accidental.
Before the case was called by Justice
Mcmahon Burns made up his differences
with his wife. and she was discharged.

hoarsely. as he reached for the SILVER

her nervous laugh and once she said !:

MYSTERY ABOUT THIS GIRL,

sumption, and was very weak. Police

found her about o'clock this morning
wandering near One Hundred and TWEEN
ty-ffth street.
she was talking incoherently to her
self. and at the station-house was I'M
able to give any account of herself.
Later, at the Societys rooms, she said
her stepfather lived In Providence, r.
J., and that his name was Samuel Yon-
dovich.
She talked incoherentIy about Bellevue
Hospital and the Montefore Home, and
stated that she rode uptown on a Third
avenue cable cart early this morning.
and while on the way lost her pocket
book containing 81.
She could give no definite account of
her wanderings during the past week or
ten days.

when an enormous log flung itself
against him. With a mighty effort he
threw his burden towards the frantic
assembly OF people.
Then he sank and was seen no more
until the next day, when his crushed
and mangled body ioated gently on the
now restful waves, which finally de-
posted his remains at the foot OF the
little dock where the dory had always
tugged and pulled at its anchor ropes.

quest. and gave the money to me TO pay
my fare when I got ready to come. I
