Mother Kills Her Babe and Then Com
mits Suicide.

Des Moines, March 19.--Mrs. William
Greenfield, 637 West Tenth street,
killed her 1-year-old girl and COM
n;tted suicide yesterday morning by
turning on the gas in her home, clos
ing tight the doors and windows, and
deliberately allowing herself and child
10 pass into fatal sleep
The husband, who made the terrible
discovery is almost frantic and his
friends feared that he would commit
suicide last night.
When the husband, who is a shoe
maker, left home at o'clock in the
morning, there rung in his ears the
wife's declaration that when he re-
turned he would find her dead. but he
thought it an Idle threat. At 10 o'clock
she took her three daughters. aged 8. z
and years, to the home of a neigh
hor, saying that she wished to make a
trip down town. With her babe in her
arms she returned home, and made the
Interior of the house as nearly alright
rs possible. Upon the floor in the
Kitchen she made a soft pallet and
olaced her babe on it, Then she turned

! The husband found them side by
side. stiff and cold in death, when he
returned from work at s o'clock in the
evening.
When Mr.. Greenfield came home he
found the doors Of his house locked.
but thought perhaps his wife had scne
to call on neighbor Anxious to see
her again, he placed bundle OF shoes,
which he had brought home for the
children, on the steps, and went to a
to find her.
"she has not been here" was the
reply.
Disappointed, he returned home. On
the way he recalled his wife's trivial
remark of the morning that she was
going to kill herself. Quickening his
steps he ran to the back door. He
threw all his weight against it and
shattered the lock.
He was confronted by sight that
1nay cause him to lose his mind. Near
est to him on a pallet was his baby.
One bare arm was thrown above its
head; one stockingless. chubby leg was
crossed in baby fashion over the other.
Its mouth was open slightly, and with
it's cheeks dimpled into suggestion OF
a smile. the child appeared to be Sleep
ing.
Beyond the baby was the mother.
She lay on her side and her hands were
clasped.
The husband looked at them, ana
ran frant:ca;ly into the yard. His raw
ings and screams were heard all over
the neighborhood. Men and women
ran to him. and as answer to their ex-
cited questions he pointed his finger
to the wide open door and the sad
scene within. The police department
was notified. and few minutes later
Officer McKercher took charge of the
premises.
