The women of Indiana Harbor
have formed an alliance to save
Mrs. LLAMA Reidan from the law.
Mrs. Reidan drowned her three
months-old baby girl in Lake
Michigan.
She did not do so because she
hated her baby, nor because she
wanted to get rid of it, nor be-
cause it was child of shame.
She did it because she so loved
her baby she could not bear to see
it suffer the pangs of hunger, to
see it grow up in poverty and
squalor and horror, and perhaps
in shame. For the baby was a
girl.
Mrs. Reidan is "a Rournanian.
She lived in Gary, Ind. There she
was wooed and won by Reidan
year and a half ago. They were
married, and were very happy.
Then Mrs. Reidan told her hus-
band she soon was to become a
mother. Reidan did not welcome
the idea of becoming a father. He
thought only of the added ex-
pense, of the extra mouth to feed.
So he deserted his wife and I'M
born child.
Mrs. Reidan was found wan
dering about the streets of In
diana Harbor at 4 o'clock in the
morning. She was carrying a
heavy trunk. Patrolman Lazaar
thought she might have stolen
the trunk. He stopped her and
questioned her, and she answered
incoherently.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-08-15

Inquiries were made at the Har-
Dor hotel by the police. They
were told that Mrs. Reidan had a
baby in her arms when she ar
rived, but that she had gone out
for two hours and returned with
out the baby.
Mrs. Reidan was asked what
she had done with the baby. She
wept, but would not answer.
Barker called in his wife and sew
eral other women, and asked them
to question the woman.
They did so, and Mrs. Reidan
broke down, and, between bitter
sobs, told how she had held the
head of her little baby under the
cold waters of Michigan until all
life was gone.

she said. 'He left me without
money. And the baby came.

But l had no money. / could

days when the baby would grow

get it food. l thought of the days
when it would grow up and be-
