GIRL UNEARTHs
BODY Of INFANT
Gruesome Discovery Is
Made by Bertha Ho-
china in Rear Yard.
Fractures Of the Skull Indi-
cate Murder Was Com
mitted.

While pursuing rat in the yard of her
fathers residence at 2 Cumberland place
yesterday Bertha Hoehna, aged IA years,
discovered the nude body of a very young
infant, which had undoubtedly been nur-
dered and surreptitiously inferred. The
child's skull was fractured in more than
six places and the murder had undoubt-
edly been done with some blunt instru-
ment The police are working on the case,
but as yet no clew to the guilty persons
has been discovered
Charles Hoehna, who owns the property
at Cumberland street, where the discov-
cry was made, has resided there for more
than thirty years and the grounds sur
rounding the house are landmark in the
Mission district. About o'clock in the
morning Miss Hoehna went into the rear
part Of the yard and discovered a large
rat Scurrying across the yard. Childlike
she began pursuit, which brought her
underneath the arbor near the west
fence. The rodent had managed to escape
into large pile OF brush and as the
young lady turned to go back to the house
she made the horrifying discovery of a
tiny foot sticking UP out of the earth
She Immediately ran to the kitchen and
notified her father and brother They in
Vestigated and found that a shallow grave
had been dug, in which was deposited the
remains of the child. wrapped in copy
of The Call of December 90
The Coroner's office was Immediately
communicated with and the remains re-
moved to the Morgue. Chief Deputy Nc
Cormack investigated the case thorough
ly but could find no clew that would lead
to the identity of the child or It's slayers.
He thereupon reported the matter TO the
police and detectives have been detailed
on the case.
Mr. Hoehna has no idea how the child
came to be buried in his yard and is pos
tive that the burial must have taken
place late Saturday night or early yester-
day morning as there was no evidence
of the ground having been disturbed on
Saturday afternoon. No unusual sounds
were heard during the night by any of
the family and the party or parties would
necessarily have had to come in the front
gate and walk a distance of fifty or sixty
feet to the place of interment or have
climbed the back fence.
The body is that of a male child and
very well developed. The persons who did
the deed are undoubtedly we'll acquainted
with the premises of Mr.. Hoehna and
must reside in the neighborhood. The po-
lice are working on a secret clew and ex-
pect to bring the guilty parties to justice
