CHILD DROWNED.
Worcester cIairvoyant Told Where
 Baby Could Be Found.

A Worcester paper of Tuesday said:
 Living with it's head in a brook, the body of little Vincenzo, the. IT months old son of MT. and Mrs. Dominica. La- posta, was found Monday afternoon, after being missing from home for four days.
 Although the authorities at Gros- venordale believe that the child wan dered away from home, the parents of the child are firm in the belief that the baby was thrown into the brook.
 Ever since Friday night the parents, together with neighbors, have been securing the vicinity for trace of the missing child.
 The body of the baby was found at 2.15 o'clock Monday afternoon by a boy, who stumbled across the body while fishing.
 Credit for the recovery of the body is given by the Lapostas to a clair voyant in Worcester to whom they appeared Saturday as a last resort. in Worcester described the exact To- cality where the child could be found. She said the baby was drowned, but had been brought to the spot by oth- CTS. Why the parents hadn't visited the spot was not explained.
 The home of the Lapostas is in a lonesome spot off the main village, and the spot where the baby was found is fully 200 yards from the home. The baby was unable to walk more than a few steps at time, and, according to the parents, never could have reached the spot where the body was found, unaided.
 In addition to the difficulties of get ting there, the body was found over a stone wall. The baby was lying partly in the water, with the lower half on the edge of the brook.
 The father Monday night persisted in the statement that the baby was taken out of the home by others and drowned. He could give no reason for thinking so, beyond the fact that the baby could never have got there alone.
 After the search all around the To- cality, the parents were told of a won- derful power exerted by the woman in Worcester, and Saturday appealed to her for help. This woman, ac- cording to their story, directed them to the spot where the child was found, but they went in the wrong direction when they returned home to follow her instructions.
 They returned to Worcester Sunday and Monday the woman agreed to come out to Grosvenordale and find the body. According to the story of the oldest girl the woman on the car, when near Grosvenordale, suddenly said: "The child is found"
 The time of her statement and the finding of the child tally exactly. ac- cording to Laposta. The whole fam fly tonight were agreed that the work of the woman was something out of the natural.
 Laposta said he gave the woman $10 to come to Grosvenordale and find the body. The directions she gave in the first place he said were inst right and the surroundings were exactly as she said they were.
 For four days the cries of the moth CT could be heard all over the neigh borhood. Up to the last she refused to believe that he baby was dead.
 The family includes the father and mother and five small children.
