SENSATIONAL CASE NEAR LuM.
sERPoRT-TWo OTHER Chill
DREN HAVE DIED UNDER
LIKE CIRCUMSTANCES.

CLARKSBURG, Nov. 1.-The mys.
terious death of lola Marie Robey,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. James Robey, residing
from Lumberport about one mile, has
thrown taat community into widest
excitement and there is strong sus.
picion OF lnfanticide.
SO strong is the suspicion chat the
death OF the child IS being investi.
gated by coroner and jury. II oc.
Cured some time early Tuesday
morning, but was not reported until
later In the day.
According to the statements of
the Robeys. Mrs. Robey and two
children were sleeping in one bed
and the husband and father in an
adjoining room. She nursed the
baby at midnight and at O'Clock
Tuesday morning intended to nurse
it again, when she found 1t dead.
Mrs. Robey says she then arc sed
her husband, who entered the
and saw the child dead. DR.. C. =.
Shirley, Of Lumberport, was sum.
moned, but nothing could be done by
him to restore the child to life.
Mr.. Robey's own statement it that
at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning ne
called from the room In which he
was sleeping, to his wife to get up
and she. at once replied that the baby
was dead.
AT the instance of the neighbors
and DR.. Shirley, on inquest was be-
gun by Justice Theodore Martin, of
Lumberport, shortly after O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon and an adjourned
session was held Tuesday night
This inquest was the result of sug
sestion by the prosecuting attorney,
who had been communicated with by
telephone.
An examination of the body show.
ed that the back of the skull Just
back of the left ear had been crushed
in and there was long blue and
black streak extending some dis
also bruises on the baby's ankles, all
Indicating that the child had come
to its death by violence. and arous
ing the suspicion that the parents
had murdered the child.
To assist DR.. Shirley in the case
DR.. J. W. Johnson. of this city. was
called. The physicians made post
mortem, cutting open the skull. They
found half-cup full of clotted blood,
where the skull had been crushed in.
The skull of the child was very ten.
der and frail and the injury could
have been inflicted with the elbow or
a hard pressure of the thumb. The
physicians We're of the opinion that
death might have been caused by a
blow.
AT the conclusion of the night ses.
sion of the jury they failed to arrive
at n verdict. though n number of wit
nesses had been examined and the
inquest was adjourned until one
o'clock Thursday afternoon al which
time the prosecuting attorney will
be present and conduct the examina
ton.
In connection with this case, it is
significant that three infants in that
family have been reported as found
dead in bed the past few years. ana
two of them within the past year.

The accident occurred during a fierce mix-up
between the regulars and scrubs at Randall field
late yesterday afternoon. The regulars had the
ball and the signal was given for Vanderboom
to carry the ball. He broke thru and was going
like racehOrse down the field for 60-yard run
when Wagner Of the scrubs tackled him. Both
men struck the ground with fearful crash.
Rolls Over In Pain
Vanderboom rolled over and uttered 4 sharp
cry Of pain. Trainer Kraenzlein, who was refer
eeing the scrimmage, was close by and imme.
