yesterday morning at o'clock at Bristol:
Mrs. Cady, wife OF Sheriff Cady of Bristol
county, threw her 5-months old child out
of the attic window of the Bristol County
Jail TO the ground. a distance Of about
80 feet.
Mrs. Cady has been a sufferer from
melancholia and nervous troubles for the
past four months and by spells was very
despondent. 1t was necessary TO have
some member of the family with her con-
stantly. Yesterday morning she was
about the house as usual. Her husband
and tho other members Of the family had
not seen Mrs. Cady for couple OF
minutes, and during that interval she
silently carried her baby up the stairs TO
tho attic room that is never in use and
tossed the child TO the ground.
After while the child regained con-
sciousness, but there Is doubt about its
recovery. Mrs. Cady does not seem to
realize what has happened, and remains
apparently calm, but Is in highly ner-
vous condition. Sheriff Cady has the
sympathy of the community. Mrs Cady
Is % years old.
