smith, Il former nurse In The institu-
ion, and her . months old son,
whose father Is, Miss Smith claims,
Doctor Burke, was begun on the 9th
Of this month.
The alleged dynamiting took place
IN the night Of February .. 1910. but
lid not become public for several
lays later. when II was reported to
the authorities by one of the sana-
orium employees. Developments later
'aused the matter to be presented to
The grand jury. which returned the
Indictment charging Doctor Burke
\ with having made an attempt upon
he life of the woman and her infant
child.
The exact nature of the institution
managed by Or. Burke is up for qucs-
ton and so far IL would seem that
II is run on sort of free love plan.
The substance of the case, which
bids fair To become sensational be-
lore II Is finished, is that Miss Smith

under treatment for which she was
unable to pay and was giving her
services as a nurse to pay her bills

born to Miss Smith and she charges
the doctor with being the father of

for the purpose of getting her out of
the way. she having brought suit
previously against DIR. Burke.
The following is an epitome of DR.
Burke's beliefs as understood by one
Of his foremost pupils:
THE whole creation, from star
mist to man, Is manifested or en-
ecuted thought of life, God. Every
thing has its place in the economy
OF the whole, and at every instant
