Des Moines, Feb. 1.-Mrs. Fred West,
proprietress of a maternity home, 1874
Thirty fifth street, in an information
filed before Justice Cope last night by
Mrs. Elizabeth Baird, secretary of the
Iowa Humane society, is charged with
murder.
A warrant has been issued and Mrs.
West was arrested by Constable Grif-
fin today.
Mrs Baird was led to take this step
thru the discovery of a young girl, a
for more than a year employed there
as a domestic and nurse. This girl,
in an affidavit made yesterday after
noon, swore that she was present at
the time the alleged crime was COM
mitted and witnessed the death of the
baby whom Mrs. West is said to have
killed. She also declared that she was
taken in Mrs. Vests confidence dur
ing the period she resided at the ly-
ing-in hospital and is cognizant of the
conditions that have existed in the hos

The child that is said to have met its
death at the hands Of Mrs. West was a
5-months- infant that went by the
name of Jim. The baby was blind and
sickly. It is alleged that laudanum
deliberately administered was the di-
rect cause of the childs death.

ing Wife and Child.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The police are
certain that Mrs. w. G. Copley, wife
of clerk in the census office, killed
herself and her infant child. Yester-
day the case mystified the authorities
and Copley was held, pending an in
vestigation. Today tests proved to the
satisfaction of the police that the wom-
an enacted the tragedy, and the grief
stricken Iowan who has been deprived
of his wife and child on account Of
an insignificant quarrel with her, was
freed.
Coroner hewitt, with the aid of the
police fired number of shots from
pistol against a sheet to show the
effect Of powder burns, and from these
experiments and the direction taken
by the bullet in the wound in Mrs.
Copley's temple, they are convinced
that she shot herself.
In the room at the time of the shoot
ing was the 2year-old child, Raymond.
He is at the home of a neighbor, but
apparently knows nothing of the trag-
edy. He begs pathetically to go home,
saying that his mamma is sick.

The hunters license bill, introduced
yesterday Is in accord with the recon-

warden, for a license on all hunters
and a higher license for those living

of this license system the state treas
ury will be relieved OF the expense Of
the game department, and there will
be funds to pay for real guardianship
of the game and fish. George A. Lin
coin, of Cedar Rapids, the present game
warden, will be candidate for reap
pointment at the expiration of his
term, and as he has accomplished a
great deal in that line he will probably
have no opposition.
