A BABY BOY
Found Dead in His Cradle
Causes Investigation.

Leicester, Jan. 14.-William J. Gale,
the six-months-old son Of Mrs. Mary
Gale, who lives ON the old Whittemore
place on Pine street in Woodville, was
found dead in his cradle by his mother
at 4 o'clock this morning. Word was
sent to Rochdale and from there I'm
dertaker Frank F. Snow was notified
to come down and lay out the body.
The woman appeared to be greatly af-
fected by the death of her baby. She
told Mr.. Snow that the child slept in a
cradle beside her own bed and that she
found it lying in the cradle dead at 4
o'clock this morning. The woman is
married, although her husband, Fred
Gale, is not living with her at present.
She looks after Mrs. Whittemore, who
is quite aged, and there are two or
three boarders. The family appeared
rather reticent and Snow said it was
difficult to get at the facts of the case.
Medical Examiner F. H. Baker of
Worcester was notified and viewed the
body. His report gives as the primary
cause of death, Eczema bronchitis
(natural causes)," and it is also noted,
found dead by mother
The funeral will be held at the house
on Sunday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, and
Rev. Alonzo Sanderson will attend. The
interment will be at Pine Grove ceme-
terry.

in the local club are making efforts for
the securing Of a Joint institute to be
held here this season.
