DEAD BABY FOUND.
Mother in Jail Confssses Her Crime
-.GirIs GhaasIv Find.

Rose Murtha and a farm hand. who is
only known by the name of Jimmy n
who is employed on Mrs. Murtha's farm,
at Bergen and Bidwell avenues. while
beating the bushes, last night, at jack
son and Bidwell avenues, looking for
some stolen clothing, came across the
d-ecornposed body of a child. Rose Muir
tina reported the find to the police.
Captain Nugent and Detective Frank
Bennett made a visit to the home of Mrs.
Murtha. on Bergen avenue, and found
out that Mary Fitzsimmons, thirty years
old, who, for the past six months was
employed as a housekeeper by Mrs. Muir
tina, was evidently the person wanted and
who could give much information con-
corning the dead baby. Only yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Murtha caused a warrant
to be issued for the arrest of her house,
keeper. charging her with petit larceny.
Mrs. Murtha said that Mary Fitzsim-
mons had stolen a quantity of her
clothes. The woman. before being taken
TO the Hudson County Jail, yesterday af-
hidden the clothes in the bushes in a lot
on jackson avenue, which is just back
of the Murtha homestead.
Rose Murtna, an adOpleu daughter, ana
the farm hand then made a search for
the clothes, but while doing SO came
across the body of the dead infant. Cap
tain Nugent and Bennett. after seeing
MRS. Murtha. went to the Jail to see the
Fitzsimmons woman. In the meantime
Patrolrnan John McDonough was sent to
watch the body.
The prisoner. when spoken to by the
Captain. confessed the whole thing to
him. She said that on May rs the child
was sorn. but it died IN hour after its
Firth. During the night she said she
stole quietly out of the house. going
through the farms, and left the dead
child in the high bushes. The next day
she we1t on with her work as usual and
nothing was ever suspected. She further
said that the father of the child is now
in Ireland, and that she met him in that
country about a year ago. before coming
here. He came to this country shortly
after she did. she said. and that when
he saw her condition he left.
The Fitzsimmons woman does not real
ize her situation. She is tall and very
robust.
sThe fnding of the body set the gossips
in that neighborhood agoing ard all sorts
of stories are floating around about the
prisoner. The sex of the dead babe could
not ne learned on account of the deeom-
posed condition of the body. but the
mother told Captain Nugent that the
child was a girl. The clothing which the
woman said she threw in the bushes was
not found and neither win she tell why
she took the things.

when they could DO no possible harm.
The Sussex hatters hit Pagan IS times,
and "A of those hits made runs, when
the score should have been only half as
large as it was. The Deweys erred again
