THAT SHE POISONED

Killed Eight Infants at

NEW YORK, Feb. Whether
Winnifred Ankers really killed eight
infants in the Brooklyn hospital for

forced into confession of guilt by
shrewd detectives who submitted her
to an unmerciful third degree, as she

But in her cell the Ankers woman

insisted that she had never harmed
the children.

lit is the old story" Berger said" No
matter how peacefully the working
men conduct strike, the militia will
find some pretext under which to use
force and turn the strike into a riot.
( That is exactly what has happened
/ in Lawrence The strikers behaved IN
such way that the chief OF police
did not see any reason to modest them.
He was, therefore. removed as inef-
lfecient and another man was put in
his place for the purpose of getting
some action and creating trouble.
With the militia he of course sue

simply an outrage. The strikers es-
ipecially the women. were manhandled
and beaten because they tried to SEND
their children away to compel the
children to stay with their parents,

a tactic that has not been used in his
tory since the days OF Genhis Kahn.
1T is foolish for any man to de
clare that this act of the police chief

The constitution was violated when
the police seized Ettor's baggage, cut
ting open suit case to get a lot of
papers, but secured nothing they
could use against him. Cruel and I'M
usual punishment has been melted out

court, one man charged with carrying
concealed weapons being sent TO the

jack knife was found on him. Many
arrests have been made without war
rant and in many instances bail has
been excessive. Practically every
free institution has been corrupted
Despite these outrages. the strike
