poisoning, which apparently had af-
fected his mind. He was given treat
ment and stomach pump was used
10 such good effect that this morning

tendants could not determine whether
he had taken posion or was the victim
OF some kind OF knockout drops"
Yesterday morning Forrest ap-
peared at DR.. II. NJ. Frists Office
and told the physician that some
one had given him something that
made him feel queer about the legs,
lie said he felt as though electricity
was coursing through his limbs. He
was then nervous and excited so the
physician gave him some medicine
to quiet his nerves and Forrest went
away.
During the afternoon he became Sc

OF poisoning, and the stomach puml
was resorted 10. Forrest at that time

FIND ANOTHER
DEAD BABY IN
CITY SEWER
Body Of Two Weeks Old
White Infant Thrown Into
ROSendale Run
POLICE TRY TO
LOCATE THE PARENTS

For the second time within few
weeks and the third time within n few
months, the nude body Of a white infant
was found late yesterday afternoon in
Brandywine Park. The baby found yes
terday was apparently about two weeks
old at the time OF its death and WAS in
such decomposed condition that it was
impossible to determine its sex. From
all appearances it had been dead for at
least a month and during that time has
been lying in water.
The body was found by crowd oi
boys who were playing in the park
about 4l5 o'clock yesterday II was
lying beneath the stump OF tree in
what is known as Rosendale Park, part
~ submerged in water from Rosendalc
sewer
The body was first seen by Daniel Nc
Clstferty and two small boys named
Handy, who live at No. 1907 Gilpin ave
nue., who notified Police Officer Robert
Bowman. who in turn notified Coroner
Spring. The body was removed 20 tho
morgne last evening, and viii be in
tered in Potter's field this afternoon
by Deputy Coroner Harvey i. Nichols.
Owing to the badly decomposed
condition OF the infants body it is
impossible to determine whether OF
not it had been killed before being
thrown into the sewer, or whether
it was drowned. The police and
coroner's office are working on the
case in an endeavor to locate the par
ents of the child.
About two weeks ago the body OF
a small female child was found in
Brandywine Park by Park Guard
Quincy, wrapped in newspapers. Ef-
forts to locate the parents Of that
child have so far proved unavail-
ing A physicians examination OF
the child revealed the fact that II
had been a still born child, dispell-
ing the theory Of murder. In tho
case of the child found yesterday
however. it Is believed that it may
have been killed.
While re body Of the infant found
yesterd WAS In terrible condition
The head was fairly well preserved
and was large and well formed. The
features had been perfect and thu
body had ali the appearance Of T;
child at least two weeks Of age.
