In degraded family in Lexington
a baby boy, IA months old, died last
week in a terrible state of filth and
suffering. A doctor was called to see
the child a few hours before death and
while giving it bath, discovered q
small, black mark on the right side OF
the breast bone. Probing the wound
broken hat pin, about d inches long
was found piercing ribs, lungs and
heart. A post norton examination
was held and it was evident that the
pin had been in the child's heart abou
three weeks. At the inquest, the Jury
could not determine whether the
wound was caused by accident or thu
malicious act of some person. 1t seems
that the mother is not sound in mine
and hardly responsible for any act sht
might do, but 1t probably never will b
known how the little one received it
death wound.
