The negro driver of the wagon is re-

of those who saw it all. it is more than
likely that he will be prosecuted for the
crime The little boy ran out from the
sidewalk to the wagon, and with leap

rear wheels. Just as he was seated the

and struck a t the boy. Either the little

fact that every organ in the girls BODY

naked eye could perceive. Drs. Theodore
Janeway and Charles Baldwin performed
the autopsy, and they declare they never
made a more thorough or complete eX-

there was not an abnormal or diseased
condition found in any of the organs.
A microscopic examination will now be
made. 1t will not be conpleled 1or d
