Complaint was recently made to the
town authorities that the children of John
Jerome, who lives in ''Slab City," were
neglected and destitute. Upon investiga-
tion it was found that the condition was
far worse than the reports represented.
JeroIne's wife died some time since and he
has had woman by the name of Heath
who has been his "housekeeper." The
committee found child of
a bout two and half years of age in a most
pitiable condition. 1t lay in most filthy
cradle, its body sore and raw from the eff
fects of the filth which surrounded. 1t
had terrible scrofulous sore on its neck
which had eaten hole as large as an egg,
leaving the wind pipe exposed to sight. 1t
was taken to the village, put into good
hands, and seems to be inclined to i'm
prove in health. Three other children, the
oldest IL years of age, are at the house but
in destitute condition. The children
should be cared for and if there is any way
to punish Jerome for his cruelty and ne
glect he should be made to suffer if the
law can reach him. If punishment can be
neted out to those who practice cruelty to
animals, how much more ought they to
suffer for abuse to helpless children.
