Drawn So Tightly That Strangu-
lation Was Sure to
Follow.
BORN BY THE ROADSIDE.
Belief That 1t Is a Child Whose
Mother Was Found Suffering
by DR.. Rowell.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRAEcIsco CALL,

SUo broadway, July =.
An infant, which had been murdered.
was brought in from Claremont to-day.
The little body was found in small cave
at the side of the Fish Ranch road. For
several days a search has been made for
the body, which was reported several days
ago, but the cave was so hidden that per-
son not familiar with the locality would
never find it except by accident.
About three weeks ago DR.. Rowell, who
was called to case late at night. was
driving out toward Claremont when ne
heard woman screaming by the roadside.
He at once stopped his buggy and went 10
where the sound came from. He found
young woman lying on the road, groanlng
with agony, and surrounded by several
young men. He examined the woman
and found that she was we'll advanced in
the pains of maternity. He did all he
could for the sufferer. and as his errand
was as urgent one he was forced to leave.
Before leaving the young woman the
men promised that they would at once
convey her to the Receiving Hospital
An empty buggy was near by and DR..
Rowell told the lads to drive to the hos
pital without delay. The woman has
never been taken to the hospital, and after
the matter was reported the police and
Sheriff's Office kept lookout to try and
clear up the mystery, but nothing has
been learned further.
few days ago Dairyman Cohn, while
out hunting, discovered the remains of a
little infant. He reported the matter to
the Coroner, and search has been kept up
ever since. On account of the secrecy of
the place the body was not found. This
morning the dairyman's son conducted
Deputy Coroner Quellen to the spot where
the babe was concealed.
From appearances the infant had been
dead some time, as decomposition had set
in. The body was that of fully devel-
oped female child. a piece of ribbon was
around the neck and it had been drawn so
tight thateit was almost buried in the
flesh. The infant appears to have been a
healthy girl, and everything indicates that
it was born alive.
As soon as he received the remains Cor
oner Baldwin stated that an autopsy
would be held 10 determine whether or not
the child had been murdered by strangu-
lation. Owing TO the lack of evidence it is
hardly probable that the perpetrators of
the murder will be found.
II is believed that the young men were
bringing the girl into Oakland at the time
she was found by DR.. Rowell and that
after the baby's birth they became fright
ened and disposed of it.
