 She was very nervous, and beyond admitting that sne had beaten the child frequently in the last three weeks. refused to talk.
 Physicians who examihedt the body of the child declared that she had been beaten to death. The body pre- sents a horrible sight. From the top of the head to the soles of the feet there are not four square inches of skin not punctured with what are be- lieved to be nall holes or covered with ugly wounds. One arm and shoulder were broken.
 Neighbors say that for three weeks the woman has kept the child hido' from its father. When the father re- turned to his home at night the little 1. one was hut up in the attic. Marks on her arms indicate that she was tied with ropes.
