Story of Misery and Suffering at Detroit
Home a Barn.

Detroit, Aug. Coroner Hoffman
was called to the rear of 73 Abbott
street. On a bed in the one room on
the second floor of brick barn lay the
body Of child. A piece Of mosquito
netting was thrown over it, and an old
woman brushed the flies away. Near an
open window younger woman sat In
tears. She was the mother of the babe.
Her lot has not been the brightest. She
was married to Sam Lerneault a few
years ago. Sam worked for a while.
Finally they moved into the brick barn,
since they could pay no rent for a
house.
A couple of children were born, one
2 years ago and one within the past
ten months. Last March Lerneault
left his wife and family and did not re-
turn. When Mrs. Lerneault was able
she earned a few pennies in a cigar
factory, but the neighbors say she has
been sick all summer, and has suffered,
almost unattended in the upper story
Of the barn. Sunday night the babe
died in spasms while the sick mother
looked on, unable to help it.
