INFANlIIl1IlE CASE
AT SNITAEIEL.D
UNCOVERED
ALL PARTIES now
UNDER ARREST

NEW aiARTINsVIILE, w, Va, Feb.
6.-The case Of homicide or infanti-
eide at smithheld has been fully un-
covered, and in addition to the arrest
Of Miss Lucy, ,McTntire, the mother Of
the child and Mrs. George Quinn, wife
Of the alleged murderer. George Quinn
was arrested this morning at Smith
field. Col. E. L. Robinson, prosecuting
attorney, went to smltlfeld to make
a full investigation and to be at the
preliminary hearing Of Quinn,
The dead child was found nude in
the creek with its head mashed thus
substantiating the account Of Miss Nc
Tntire as to the cause Of its death. She
stated when arrested that Quinn
Knocked 1t on the head with hammer
and threw it in the creek. 1t is said
that had the prosecuting attorney not
gone out, the citizens would have
made short work Of the murderer
The prosecutor will also Investigate
the death of the child found in the
abandoned oil shed. 1t was first
thought that this child might be the
one Killed by Quinn, but both children
are now before the officers, and the
matters will be pushed and illc guilty
parties punished.
Miss McIntire and Mrs. Geo. Quinn
we're brought to this city and placed
in jail to await the action Of the grand
jury. 1t appears from statement
made by Miss McIntire, mother Of the
dead child, that she came from bod
bridge county, and began work as a do
nestle in the Quinn home; that Quinn
who is about IS Years Old, became in
innate with her, ana that when she
was delivered Of the child, she told
Mrs. Quinn that her husband was the
father Of the child. Quinn took the
Il .
child out of the house and knocked 1t
on the head with a hammer and threw
| 1t in Fishing creek which was food
ed at the time, 1t appears that Mrs
Quinn knew what disposition her hus-
band made Of the child and was keep
ing the secret, The neIghbors missed
the child and made inquiry concern
ing it Of Miss Mclntire and she at once
told them what was done with It.
Quinn has two sons serving q term in
the penitentiary for highway robbery.
Quinn is farmer and in fair circum-
stances, living in the oil field and has
accumulated some money,

Before the resolution was adopted the
union was addressed by Curtiss Lovely and
Organizer Robson OF the National Boot

and charged not only that McGin had
worked to disrupt the union at the desire
of the fir1n but had acted with his en-
