Il found that Maude Jardine was the prln-
cipal nurse for the child. and had been
from Its birth. She had been forced to
carry 1t about. dress 1t and give 1t other
attentions such as usually devolve upon
mother or nurse. She was also disturbed
by the fact that the child was crippled and
day. She was prevented from mingling with
her girl friends to an extent that she doubt
less would not have wished.
The baby was large; in fact ahnormally
large. for its age. and the care OF It must
have taxed the girls strength. 1t was she
who would haze protited by its absence. 1t
was q stumbling block In her path
1T was in her way and prevented her
from enjoying the summer theater AMI
other amusements. which her mother was
able to participate in. while the daughter
was compelled to stay at home and look

OF the baby?'' l cannot see how any one
would profit by its removal except the
daughter. whom l arrested"
