to Have Murdered Eight Children.


Chicago, Aug. 4-,rhe police have ar
rested Mrs. Neil Campbell. of 600 Grahd
avenue, on charge Of allowing an M
afnt to die from insufficient nounsh-
ment. 1t is alleged that within the last

Yesterday DIR. Weliield was called TO the
Caplphell house to attend the infant.
which has since died. He found it in
such condition that he refused to is
sue a death certificate. claiming that
the child died of starvation.
The assertion that eight children
have died in the house is made by Viola
Campbell, ii years of age. Mrs Camp
bell says that she is the mother OF
Viola, who asserts that Mrs. Campbell
has said on other occasions that she
(Niola) was not a relative.
Concerning the children who, accord
ing to Viola. have died in the house. the
girl SAYS that they We're received from
a woman living on Wells street in this
city, She SAYS that they We're obtained
by Mrs. Campbell because her husband
had threatened to leave her because
they were without children. None of
the children lived long. Mrs. Campbell
says that the child that died Friday was
the daughter of her dead sister, and
while denying that there have been
eight deaths in her house, admitted to
the police that three children had died
a. her house within the last few
months.
There is no evidence against Mrs.
Campbell save that of Viola, but Police
Inspector Wheeler. who has the case in
charge. declares that he believes her
story, and says that the bodies of the
children that have died will be eNhumed
in order to determine their number. The
girl declares that they were all buried
in one lot in Calvary cemetery.
