Sanders is an unmarried colored girl
about 18 years of age and Is the mother
of a hree-weeks- infant. Saturday
night DR.. Stevens was summoned to
her home near the cemetery to see the
infant; and when he arrived there he
found it suffering terribly from burns
made on its mouth, chin and neck, evil
IDENTIFY by carbolic acid. The mother
said that a little colored girl from an
other family had come into her home
and while the infant was lying on her
lap, the little girl gave the baby some
thing which she said was water, and
then ran out Of the house, having a
small bottle in her hand at the time.
A few minutes after the arrival Of DR..
Stevens the infant apparently died, but
a few seconds later it gasped and thus
continued until yesterday morning,
when it was to all appearances some
better. 1t was not able to swallow even
a drop Of water the night before, and
now it is possible it may recover. The
girls story as to how the infant was
given carbolic acid is accepted with
much doubt and it might be well for
the authorities to look into the facts.
