to kill her infant, aged three weeks, by
giving it a dose of carbolic acid mixed
with milk
Mrs. Gould has not been well since the
birth of h"r youngest child three weeks
ago, though this morning when her hus.
band left for the City she was apparently
quite bright and in good spirits. She
must have begun her preparations for sui
eide soon after he left. Early in the fore
noon she sent her two other children, aged
~ and years respectively, to play at the
bay shore, with little girl named Gertie
Huffman, who had been staying with the
Goulds.
Mrs. Gould told the children when they
came back TO come into the nous quietly,
so as not TO waken her anu the baby, as
they would be asleep. She then wrote q
letter of farewell 10 her usband, saving
that she intended to take her own life, as
she could not bear the burden of it any
longer. She said that no one was to blame
but herself and begged him to take good
care of the children. She must then have
mixed dose of the acid with milk and
glven 1t to The baby, after which she swal.
lowed dose herself and laid down on tho
bed to die.
The children returned after while, and
hndlng the house quiet the Huffman girl
went into the bedroom and saw Mrs.
Gould lying undressed in bed and with
her lips coTered with white foam. An
empty bottle that had contained carbolic
acid was by her side. The baby lay close
by, with her mouth burned with the
deadly fluid.
Tee alarm was at once given and neigh
bors came IN, while DR.. w. o. Smith was
sent for. When ne arrived ii was too late
to do anything to aid the mother, but
remedies were given the child and it is
possible that it may recover. The tact
that the mother mixed the poison with
milk goes far to encourage this belief. In
deed, that is all that saved the life OF the
infant.
The husband was at once sent for and
hurried home. He was grief-stricken and
said that he was entirely unable to ac-
count for his wife's terrible deed. They
had lived happily and she had always ap-
peared contented. The neighbors. too
say that it was to all appearances a happy
family.
The only explanation is that the poor
woman was suffering from the effects OF
puerperal fever and committed the deed
while insane from that cause. An inquest
will be held tomorrow.
