MISFORTUNE
THE CAUSE
OF Death

An interesting report was filed today in
the superior court by Harmon S. Babcock.
coroner OF the town of East Providence,
on the death OF a child born TO Mary
Hayes and called after its birth John
Foughey. Miss Hayes. the mother. lived
in the home of Mrs. Joseph Bridgham at
East Providence Centre as a servant.
The inquest was an exhaustive one.
Great care was evidently taken to reach
facts In the case owing to innuendos
against the unfortunate mother. The doc
tors who testified seemed to have been
child's life was ended by violence.
DR.. Ellison said the injuries on the body
Of the child could not have been due TO
the operation to separate the child from
its mother He was Of the opinion that
the childs body must have been taken
and slammed against a hard round sur
face.
DR.. Elmer f. Moore thought the blows
were inflicted by some hard object or the
body had been struck against some hard
object. Had the child been sat on the
doctor believed the whole head would
have been crushed.
The child was born on Dec. 18th and
the mother did not have medical aid. Coro-
ner Babcock's report concludes as follows:
Upon being recalled and in answer to
questions embodyins the facts disclosed
by this testimony, the Medical Examiner
frankly admitted that the finger marks
upon the neck and face might have been
made In an attempt TO assist the delivery
OF the child, and that the fracture of the
skull the umbilical cord being unbroken.
might possibly have been caused by the
mother accidentally sitting with her full
weight upon the child's head. As these
admissions permit an accidental and In
nocent cause OF the injuries as well as n
premeditated and guilty cause, and as
there is no evidence OF malice except such
as may be inferred from the injuries
themselves. the accidental theory Of the
cause OF the injuries is the one which
seems to have OF right the greater weight
That severe injuries were inflicted Is
true: that they might have been inflicted
accidentally is in evidence; that they must
have been so inflicted seems to be the
logical conclusion of the whole testimony.
while attaching great weight TO the
opinions and conclusions OF men Of such
competent knowledge and great skill and
long experience in their profession as the
medical witnesses at this inquest, unques-
tionably possess, / still feel bound TO
recognize the great weight that right
fully must be given to the direct OBJ
servers OF the facts i'm this case.
81 therefore find and certify that the
infant child OF Mary Hayes, called after
its birth John Foughey, came to his
death by misfortune at East Providence
Centre on the 18th day OF December, 1906
tho Immediate cause of his death being
fracture of the skull"
