BODY OF INFANT
Found By WorEmen Near Silver
 and East Main Streets.

The dead body Of boy about . day old, was found in a sand bank near the corner of East Main and Silver streets this morning. The dis covery was made by James McGrath of Magill street who with other men were drawing sand from the bank. The little body was wrapped up in a towel and an Italian newspaper and was on the bank of the Mad river. It was evidently the intention of the person who threw 1t there to have it land in the stream, but 1t fell short and stayed on the bank. The police who were notified of the find by MT McGrath informed Medical Examiner Dr A. A. Crane who had the body taken to Mulville's undertaking rooms. It will be buried in Potter's field.
 Whether the child was born dead is question. The police are inclin- ed to believe that it might have come into this world yesterday and may have been alive last evening when the attempt was made to throw it into the river. There were workmen in the vicinity yesterday but they claim the child was not there or they would have seen it. Detective Thom- as Coesanto started to work on the case this afternoon, but it will be perhaps difficult task to locate the person who abandoned the child. The place where it was found is some yards from either Silver or East Main street. It is known as lover the hill' and few people pass near there during the night time. There is a short cut running from East Main 10 Silver street near by the bank but of late years it has not been ! much frequented.

MAY REOPEN HAU CASE
PRISONER PROTESTS HIS COM
PLETE INNOCENCE.

KARLSRUHE. Baden. May 16-The
trial of Alfred Graf editor of the Badische
Landsmann. and Alfred Herzog, editor of
the Eadische Presse, growing out of ar
ticles published in these journals relative
to the Hau case. has developed into an
elaborate effort on the part of the at
torneys for the defense to compel the re-
opening of the Hau case. Karl Hau now
serving life sentence for the murder of
his mother-in-law. Mrs. Moliter.
DR.. Dietz, Hau's lawyer, has occupied
the witness stand for two and a half days
and already the case has lasted eight days
with long sittings. 1t probably will end
Tuesday or Wednesday next.
The question is still undecided as to
whether the court will order Hau to ap-
pear as a witness. The general impress
sion is that nothing yet has been brought
out that will necessitate the reopening of
the case. although Hau's father testified
that he visited his son since his incar-
ceration and that the latter solemnly de-
clared his complete innocence of the crime
of which he was convicted.
