HELD FOR
GRAND JURY.

Mount Holly, April l5.-The court
room was crowded this morning when
Mrs. Mabel Haines, of Delanco, who
| is charged with having caused the
death of her little stepdaughtcr,
Gwendolin, by violence, on March 81,
was brought from Jail for hearing
before Justice Of the Peace Ieiglcr.
| The proceedings resulted in the hold.
ing Of the defendant for the Grand
Jury.
Mrs. Haincs was heavily yeiled and
carried her little daughter on her
arm. She was accompanied by her
mother and both ladies seemed to be
perfectly composed. The defendant
has the appearance of being lady Of
refinement.
DR.. Wcncr Of Riverside, called at
the Haincs house On he evening of
March 81 and found GWcndoln i'll
with cold. Later the child was re-
ported to he suffering with convul-
sions and on second visit he found
hcrlying ON the floor dead. The nose
was laltened, he said, the lips cut
open, there were bruises Oh the fore
head, the eyes were black and blue
and Il cut showed on the ear. The
Stepmothcr said that the nose had
been in that condition for ten days
and the other injuries had existed
for three days. From the physicians
knowledge death resulted from the
injuries and on complaint by Mrs.
Clarn neighbor. he refused to give
a certificate of death.
To Coroner Wells Mrs. Haines as
cribed convulsiOns as the cause Of
death and said that the bruises were
the result OF a series Of falls. She
also said she had never abused the
child which she loved dearly.
The case was reopened upon an afi-
davit made by Clark, which led to
the body being disenterred. 1t was
examined by DIS Parsons and Small,
who said that death esulted from
the injuries. Parts of the body were
put in jars and handed to John +,
Doughty, of IIaddonlicid, who gave
them to Chcmis George M. Berin-
ger, who testified to the pre- sence of
u grains Of arsenic in the organs
submitted to him. A portion of this
drug was found where the cmbalming
fluid had not reached, the witness
said.
Isabella Clark, a neShbor, said
that she had seen the child punished
at intervals for period Of over a
year but more severely since Christi
mas.
Nellie Il. Richards, former do
mcstic, worked shortst slime for Mrs
HaineS, and as she said, was compcll-
cd to discharge herself. On various
occasions she had seen Mrs. Haines
take the child by the head and beat
it on the floor. She had often seen
GwcnduIin badly bruised and then
bathed with witch-hazel by her pa
rents and had seen the child stand
in corner as punishment for an
hour at time holding up her little
hands. Frne stepmcther, she said,
had put Gwcndolin's head under
water and when tie child was losing
her breath, Mrs. Haines would say:
Look Nellie, she is putting that on. y
Witness said that the child was
whipped regularly morning and night
Drs. Parsons and Small gave testi-
mony which tended to cOrrOhorate
the theory that death resulted from
violence.
