According to statements made by the
police, Secretary M. ]. White of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

apprehension in assuming that Mrs

wholesale murder of babies. had any
connection with the baby of Charles
Feist motorman.
into the care of Madam Funke. who
kept a baby farm" in Alameda Madam
Funke, who is now dead, transferred
the baby to Miss Beaglehall, a mill
liner in Reno, New, who was a cripple.
and ii was recovered from her and
adopted by clergyman in Watson
vile.
Miss Beaglehall had a mania for
adopting babies, but nothing was ever
insinuated that she got rid of them by
unfair means While she lived in this
city prior TO going to Reno she was ar
rested by Policeman II. McMurray, at
that time attached to Whites society,
for cruelty to children, it being alleged
that she bit baby she had adopted.
On the contrary, all sorts of accusa-
lions were made against Madam Funke.
Madam Funke and doctor who was
Interested with her in the baby farm
were arrested in connection with the
Feist baby, but the case was dismissed.
