Burns a Baby Alive,

PARKERsBURG, w, VA, April g.
Held in the fire by its mother until
its head was literally burned away
and its body a mass of charred flesh,
the year old child of Mrs. Morris met
an awful death yesterday afternoon.
No other cause than that of insanity
can be assigned for the mothers awful
deed.
Mrs. Morris lives with her family
and children in Stinson, southern
Clay county. Seemingly the woman
had been cOntented and happy until a
few days ago, when she began to
evince a dislike for her youngest born.
After the discovery Of her crime she
was sullen and would give no reason
for what she had done other than that
she was weary OF the are Of her child
and thought it would be better dead.
