| Chicago, June 23.-The only '.ori-

They at once called the police.
"A few minutes later a woman came
out and carried the bundle back into
the house.
When the police arrived they
found the infant at the bottom of a
trunk in the room Of its mother,
Mrs. Kate Francis. Clothing enough
to have smothered an adult was piled
about the one day old youngster, yet
when released it kicked and scream
ed like any healthy boy. =.
The woman was allowed to carry
the, child in the patrol wagon to the
Harrison street station. There DR..
Baldwin, city physician, unwrapped
the boy from a heavy cloak and
wondered that it had not smothered
on the journey. But it proved its
Iinvulnerability by another lusty out
cry.

periences which would have killed q

The woman said she did not want
the neighbors to know that she was

herself of the child by throwing it
out of the window. She saw that
she had been observed and brought
it back to her room. -
She protested that she had not
tried to smother the baby, but that
after she had brought 1t back to the
house she had covered it we'll to

left her husband in Terre Haute and
that she was unable to support the

Chicago, June .23.-The contem-
plated marriage Of Mrs. Myrtle
Plat, the widow who, Mrs. Dolly
Logan Tucker charged in her suit
for for separate maintenance, had
alienated her husbands affections,
has given fresh impetus to Col. VIM.
F.. fuckers attorneys request that
Mrs. Platt's name not be mentioned
as a correspondent In the divorce suit
which will likely be settled soon.
This latest development has likewise
fastened Col. fuckers return to
Chicago, as it helps to remove one
of the unpleasant features Of the case
which, at one time, threatened to
make the divorce suit notorious.
Mrs. Plat refused to deny that
she was to be, married. Intimate
friends in Detroit, however, did not
hesitate to confirm the report, al
though refusing to give the name Of
the prospective groom. Mrs. Plat
is the nurse who accompanied Col.
Tucker from San Francisco to Hot
Hot Springs, Ark, following his re-
turn from the Philippines in 1907.
Mrs. Platt's contemplated marriage
will remove the obstacle over which
SO much discussion has been spent
and leaves but the question Of all
mony to delay a speedy settlement
and a divorce without undue publ
city. This latter barrier to quick ac-
ton is not regarded as a serious diff
ficulty, however, by the lawyers of
either side, as both Col. Tucker and
Mrs. Tucker have incomes Sufficient
to render them Independent Of each
other, though 1t is intimated that
Mrs. Tucker will insist on generous
alimony and all signs, point to the
colonel acceding to her request.

Execution by drowning was abol-
sished in France by Henri Quatre, only
to be revived by one OF his successors.
It was finally abolished as q statutory
method Of execution BY the earliest de-

e AS late as the eighteenth century
death by drowning was decreed to .
felon in Edinburgh, and in the middle
ages It was a common enough mode
of doing convicted criminal to death.
That execution Of this nature was con-
sidered as humane as any other, SO, far
as the victim was concerned, is shown
by the fact that it was not unknown
among the early Jews, who varied the
punishment of stoning adulteresses by
drowning them. Among the Egyptians
it was common. The Roman lex cor
nelia sanctioned the method by placing
it on the statute records. Tacitus tells
Us that the Germans copied the prac-
tice from the Romans. The Teuton
termed 1t the "last baptism" and he

with him were inclosed q vicious dog,

For what reason It is hard to see,
but death by drowning was by many
peoples considered preferable for Grim.

based or very mean offenders the
