toxicatins liquor. Witnesses swore that
the mother caused her boy TO be so Sc
vereiy burned that he had to be taken
TO Bellevue Hospital, where he is said 10
be in critical condition. She denied
the charge with vehemence. declaring
the boy was burned by his own fault. but
she was held in 1,500 bail for further

had held her boy over the stove and de
clared it was all an accident, due to
the youngsters fondness for playing
with matches, and that he had several
times before burned himself severely.

until late and when she reached home
she had lain on the lounge and must
