New York, May 20-Alleging that the confession made by Winifred An kers, the kitchen drudge of the Brook lyn Day Nursery and Infants Hospi- tai. who admitted she killed nine ba- bies by placing poison in their food, was extorted from her by extreme mental torture, her attorney, Edward J. Reilly, insisted in court, today. that he will prove her innocence. The woman was placed on trial, this af- ternOOn, in the supreme court in Kings County charged with first de- gree murder.
 The alleged crime took place on last Washington's birthday when d score of babies in the hospital were taken i'll. Doctors called declared Autopsies showed oxalic acid had been used.
 The woman's history was most un- fortunate. A waif from childhood she had been cruelty betrayed. and the only object in life for which she liv- ed was her baby. In order that she might not be separated from the child she worked in the nursery for practically nothing more than board for herself and the infant. She de- nied her guilt.

Then the detec- tives told her, "If she did not tell the truth" they. would take the child from her.
 This confession she repudiated half an hour after making it.
