Tax Upon Shipping Dead Baby

the hand of Death, the great child stealer.

THE BABY DISINTERRED
An Inquest Held Upon Calverts First
born
TIE PLY sIcians DecIfne to Say That lts
Fathers Brutality Resulted in Its
1urder

Coroner Campbell yesterday morning or.
dered the disinterment of the body of Mrs.
Calvert's baby. Yesterday THE HERALD
related how cruelty she had been beaten by
her husband only three days before her
confinement, which resulted in her being
delivered of dead child. The little body
was removed from Evergreen cemetery to
the undertaking establishment of Orr &
Kinds, on Spring street, where the coroner,
assisted by DR.. Walter Lindley, made a
postmortem examination in the afternoon.
An inquest vas held thereafter, and the
jury returned verdict that the infant was
stillborn. The postmortem examination
was very thorough, and showed that the
child had never breathed. Its neck was
not broken, as some of Mrs. Calyert's
neighbors averred, and the bruise on the
side of the face was accounted for by nat
ural causes. The baby was a seven or
eight months child. DR.. Lindley testified
that the physician who had delivered Mrs.
Calvert, and who is said to be her aunt, q
Mrs. Emile, had shown carelessness in the
operation.
The doctors were not prepared to say
that the premature birth was the result of
the inhuman beating which Mrs. Calvert
had undergone at the hands of her.drunken
husband last Saturday, although there was
a possibility that it caused the death of the
child at the time.
DR.. Barber, county physician, visited
Mrs: Calvert on Friday night and found
her in much more favorable condition
than had been reported. The woman, who
undoubtedly wants to screen her husband,
has only been married few months. Cal
vert is still keeping in hiding, and SO far
no effort has been made to place him nm
der arrest. The report that Calvert was a
teamster for the Ganahi Lumber company

SELF-DEFENSP

Why Detective Goodman Claims He Struck
Reporter Colver
Police Detective j. G. Goodman was on
trial yesterday before Justice Owens on a
charge of having committed battery upon
r.. j. Colver Of the reportorial staff of the
Evening Record. Colver's testimony was
to the effect that Goodman had insulted
him, and he had resented the insult by
calling Goodman liar, whereupon Good
man struck him. Detectives Moffet and
Bradish corroborated Colver. Goodman
put in the plea of self-defense. This is
singular. inasmuch as Colver is in no sense
of pugilistic build. while Goodman is a
man of extraordinary physical strength.
Justice Owens took the case under advise
ment until Tuesday.
