infant whose dead body, wrapped in a
newspaper and with a cord firmly
knotted around It's little neck, was
found in a vacant lot on Telegraph hill

fact that the newspaper In which the

was copy of the Evening Times of
Buffalo, dated August 10, 1908. The de-

Jones was inadvertently pasted on the
paper and that the paper came to this
city among the exchanges OF the Even
