Connection With the Death
of Child.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Investigating the
death of an infant that was found
scantily clad and drenched by the
rain, in an alley here, Coroner Ford
made the startling discovery that
there exists in Philadelphia a baby
farm where innocent babes are bar
tered and sold.
While the coroner listened aghast
he heard from Special Agent Kinkaid
OF the Society to Protect Children
From Cruelty, that women have at
tempted to coerce men into matrimony
by getting babies from the farm and
foisting them off as their offspring
upon the men whom they sought to
wed.
From the lips of Lillian Hinkle, he
learned that she had purchased baby
for five dollars from the baby farm.
The woman was held. charged with
the death Of the child. by Coroner
Ford, by special request of Assistant
District Attorney Patterson, without
bail, to await the action of the grand
jury.
With the Hinkle woman was held
Edwin Rose, who gave the same ad.
dress as the woman. He was charged
with being implicated with the girl
and was not admitted to bail. 1t was
brought out In the testimony that Rose
and the Hinkle woman had been en-.
gagged to marry. but that the union
was opposed by the young mans fam.
lily.
The woman admitted when question,
ed that she and Rose had schemed to
gether to outwit his parents by buying
the baby then declaring to his father
and mother that the child was their
own. Explaining the infants death
she says it sickened suddenly, and
she did not know what to do with It
When she found 1t dead in the morn

When fitting, If there is too much
