to describe the place where she gave
birth.
About two weeks ago, the woman
was sent to the Maternity Home by
her husband in hack. Since then
no word was received from her and
this led the husband to look into the
matter. He was told that no such
woman arrived at the Home. Some
time afterward she returned with
cut the expected arrival. She APP
peared dazed and weak. and was. UNI
able to give full account of what had
