Cruelty To a Child.

A sensation was created in Medford, on
Wednesday, when it became known that
Emma Spicker, aged 8 years, had been
cruelty beaten by her father, Frederick
Spicker, the step-mother holding the girl
while the flogging took place. The child's
ear was cut, her cheeks lacerated and
body badly bruised by blows received by
an iron hinge and stick containing sew
eral whip lashes. 1t seems that the child
had been neglected since the death of its
mother, and frequently it has been locked
in the garnet for trifling misdeameanors.
On Thursday the father surrendered all
claim to the little one and on Friday it
was brought here and placed in the Bur
lington County Children's Home, where
it will remain until IS years of age. Its
condition was pitiable. Emma was &C
companied by her brother, Willie, aged
6 wears. The unnatural father was com
mitted to Jail without bail, and the step
mother may yet join her husband in prison
Frederick Spicker is well known glass
blower and a German of high passion
His wife died last November and five
months later he married young lady
from Philadelphia and then Emma's trou-
bles began, as they both seem to have
taken delight in ill-treating the girl.
The cries of the child brought assistance
from the neighbors, who protested vigor-
ously. Hiram johnson entered complaint
before Justice Wright and the man was
hurried off to Jail to escape the indignant
citizens. When Spicker's first wife died
she implored him to give her food and
water, but instead he treated her like a
dog and he was then arrested for cruelty.
She had a cancer, and this the husband
attempted to remove by an operation OF
his own. He strapped his wife to the
floor, got his razor and was about to be-
gin work, when the womans cries brought
in the neighbors and she was saved.
Spicker married Catharine Ovald She
had a baby of her own year old. One
day the parents tried to kill it by placing
it between two beds when they went to
Philadelphia, but Emma told the neigh
bors who rushed in and saved the little
one. lady nursed it three days before
the return of the couple.
The people of Medford have known OF
the condition of affairs in this home for a
long time, and they will recite some hor-
rible tales of cruelty when the case comes
up in court
The cato -nine-tails used on Emma is
now in possession of Prosecutor Atkinson.
