Chicago. March 11.--A slip OF baby
feet precipitated 4-year-old Delphine
Christensen to death.
Just ten minutes after the mother
had kissed the child and left her in
the yard at their home, 1926 Cottage
Grove avenue, she returned and found
the child dead, hanging at the end
of a piece Of clotheslinc fastened to a
post.
The distracted woman, Mrs. Julia
Christensen, screamed for help and
struggled to loosen the cord that cut
the tender flesh. But 1t was too late
for help. The body had been dead
several minutes.
A few minutes later two trembling
playmates related, between sobs. how
the accident had occurred.
Frederick and Joseph Graham, 4 and
years old. with whom the child had
been playing short time before, de-
clared that Delphine had knotted the
rope around the post by climbing on
TO box. and that they had left her
idly swinging two and fro while they
went to their home TO get some food
When they returned they saw Del
phine hanging. The sight frightened
the boys and they ran away.
