A sordid story OF the purchase and
substitution, in 1910. OF wronged girls
two day old infant as her own. the
burning of the body OF her child. which
had been stilIborn and the conceal
ment of the whole transaction from her
husband by Mrs. Dorothy Morgan Cutler
Slingsby. was told last night by Mrs.
Q. III. Blain of 1922 McAllister street.
who assisted in the crime.
The maze OF theories in which the
Slingsby case has been hitherto con-
cealed was eliminated, and by state
ment of Mrs. Blain the entire history or
the transaction lies unshielded by an,
feminine or even human sentiment.
The only touch of maternal feelins
in the history of the transaction con
mother to be told at least where the
child had been taken. and of these ceas-
ing after the first two months. with the
young girl swallowed up in city's
darker side, unidentified, where her past
is not known. and at most would not
be cared about.
MONEY CONCERNED IN DEAF.
Money casts its reflection at the base
OF the crime, although the motives
indicated by what so far has been
brought to light, are twofold--frst, the
desire for an heir to share the 1,000,-
900 estate OF her husbands father in
England. who was near deaths door
and. second. the revulsion of 4s year
old woman going back to her husband
childless after coming TO San Francisco
from Victoria to gain the best possible
medical care to bring an heir into the
world. Her husband Is Lieutenant
Charles Henry Raymond Slingsby, r N
(retired). son of the late Rev. Charles
SIingsby of Yorkshire, England
The transaction was brought par
TALLY to light some time ago when the
mists surrounding the facts OF the case
were parted enough for the state board
of health to order the cancellation of
the false birth certificate In San Fran
cisco records by which the child was
accredited to Mrs. Slingsby, and the
fling of a true record in which the
names OF the illegitimate child's par
ents were given.
