Brattleboro. June &--Miss Kate LonSe
aged %. Of South Londonderry was
sentenced TO two years in the House Of
Correction to-day at the opening of the
Windham county court for the wllful
neglect of two days old male infant.
The woman was arrested on June 4
charged with murder, but this charge
was mol pressed and tibet of wilful neglect
substituted.
The report Of the State pathologist, Dr.
j.. H. Stone of Burlington. who performed
an autopsy on the body Of the infant
shortly after It's discovery, showed that
the child died from neglect after Its
birth, and the State changed the nature
Of It's case on account OF the low mental
status of Miss Longe. She was tried be-
fore Judge f. NJ. Butler Of Rutland and
a jury yesterday and sentence was pro-
nounced this morning. A. f. Cudworth
of South Londonderry represented Miss
Longe, the case for the State being
