County Physician Says Over
dose of Drugs Was Fatal
to Weak Child.
MRS. O'DELL'S ll-WEEKS=
OLD DAUGHTER VICTIM
Mother, Unaware of Death, Car
ried Lifeless Body to
the Hospital.

Little Lillian O'Del1, the u-weeks-old
daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth O'Dell, 81
Canal street, died of opium poisoning
as a result of taking an overdose of a
combination of two patent medicines
containing morphine and haroin, ac-
cording to the declaration of County
Physician Mckenzie today.
The child, which was born at the
Babies Hospital, was taken there to-
day, when it was discovered that the
mother had been carrying only a dead
body. According to a statement by the
county physician, there was opium in
both solutions, which the mother said
had been given the child at the same
time, and also that one of the medi-
cines contained 110 of grain of NOR
phine sulphate, the other patent medi-
cine having as one of its ingredient
parts u of a grain of haroin hydro
chloride. This combination, with the
opium, proved too much for the weak
child.
Told that her child was dead, Mrs.
O'Dell sank sobbing into a chair with
the dead child in her arms.
The parents of the baby moved to
their present address three weeks ago
O'Dell got employment in the Greene
Motor Car Company. Before that he
had been out of work for months. The
baby had been ailing since it came to
Newark and Mrs O'Dell had been TAX
ing it to the hospital daily. Today the
babe seemed more Ill than usual and
O'Dell advised his wife to take 1t to
, the hospital at once.
A neighbor advised the use of the
soothing syrup. Mrs. O'Dell started
from the house early today. The baby
died before she reached the hospital.

COURT CONDEMNS LOEB DEAL
KEEPING DISHONEST WEIGH
Frs IN SERVICE WRONG.
Collector Defends His Course-Philip
Musica, Bride Giver, Convicted.
Father Goes Free.

NEW YORK, October 2s.-Severefy ar
raigning the government authorities who
not only promised immunity, but agreed
to retain grating customs weighers in
the service after they had confessed,
United States Judge Holt. in the criminal
branch Of the United States circuit court
yesterday ordered the jury to find ver-
dict of not guilty against Antonio Musica,
who, with his son Philip, had been
charged with bribing weighers and caus-
ing false weights to be recorded In con-
nection with large importations of cheese.
Philip Musica, who pleaded guilty to one
count in the indictment, was remanded
and spent the night in the Tombs. He
will be sentenced today.
Judge Hollis criticism was leveled at
Collector Of the Port William Loeb. jr,
who later in the day made q statement
defending his action. The granting OF
immunity. it Is understood, was a mat
ter in which the collector could not act
alone, but the promise of retention In
the service is said to have been made
by Loeb without the cooperation of
other officials interested in the trial Of
the case.
After instructing the jury to acauit the
elder Musica, Judge Holt said:
Three government officials who were
heard as witnesses for the prosecution
and confessed participation in these and
other frauds on the government testified
that they were promised not only immu-
nifty, but retention in the customs scrv-

Loeb Defends His Action.

Collector Loeb yesterday afternoon gave
out the following statement:
1.-THE views of such distinguished
judge arc entitled to the highest respect.
1t is not my purpose to make them the
subject of controversy, but 1t seems that
Judge Holt can hardly have understood
the situation,
Judge Holt says that while 1t might
have been proper to grant immunity IL
was discreditable to retain these men.
Without their testimony convictions could
not have been secured. The weighers
knew that If they were discharged and
then testified to taking brides IL would be
practically impossible to secure employ
ment elsewhere. and they and their fa,ni-
lies might starve.
cit was not a choice between having
all honest men and keeping four admit
tedly dishonest. The choice was between
keeping four dishonest men, where they
could be easily watched. or allowing a
great many dishonest men to remain and
have them and all the corrupt merchants
who had bribed them escape punishment.
The Administered tons decision was
based upon the highest motive-punishing
a large body of guilty men at. the expense
of granting immunity to q few and al
lowing these few to remain. but not in
the weighing department"
