THE STATE IN
GENERAL
THE WAGES OF SIN PAID BY The
SINNER, MORRIS NEW
TON, OF DELToN.
MOTHER is NOW IN JAIL
The Career of Frances Titus and Her
Lover Was Brief and Ended With a
Shocking Tragedy.

Frances Titus. of Cloverdale, was
married to Morris Newton, OF Delton,
Wednesday, just before noon. I'M
mediately after the marriage in Grand
Rapids the couple came TO Newtons
parents home, near the village or
Cloverdale. 1t was after they left that
the body of their six months old child
was found in the Grand River at
Grand Rapids. Wife and husband were
| in the Newton home when Grand
Rapids police officers got the house
| by phone and asked the questions
which caused Morris to go out into
the yard, without a word to his wife
or anyone else, and shot himself to
death. Later the officers came and
took the wife to Grand Rapids, where
she is in Jail. She made this state
ment:
"Soon after our baby was born my
husband began to devise means to get
rid OF 1t. He wanted to poison 1t. He
said he would bury it in Cloverdale.
would not consent to this. Then he
talked of throwing 1t in the river, and
to this, also, objected.
81 suggested leaving the baby on
somebody's doorstep. Then he stopped
talking of killing It. / wanted him tc
take it to the Children's home Tues
day night, but he wouldn't call up the
home on the phone. Finally he put
the baby in the suit case, saying hC
would leave it on the doorstep OF {
cousin of mine. He left the house a.
p. m. and came back at 1920. TheI
we packed up and went to a hotel.
"Wednesday morning we went t
Delton. A reporter came and ques
toned myself and husband. After W.
had all gone to bed my husband
thought he heard a step on the porcl
and thought the officers had come. HI
went out in the yard and shot him
self"
Thus does Frances Titus Newton
of Cloverdale, Barry county, place
with her dead husband responsibility
! for the death of their siXweeks oil
baby girl, whose dead body was foun

How TO Boil an Eco.

Most people drop an egg into boiling
water and let it cook steadily for three
minutes for a so-called soft-boiled
egg. The proper way to soft-boil an
egg is to remove the saucepan from the
fire when the water reaches boiling
point; drop the egg in at the moment
of removal, cover the saucepan and
leave the egg in the water for six
minutes. When there are two eggs let
them stay eight minutes. For medium
cooked, ten minutes are required. and
'or hard-boiled half an hour.
