WIDOW SELLS LIVE BABIES
New York Woman Admits She Makes
Practice Of Supplying Infants
Without Question.

New York.-Any person wishing

placing an order with Mrs. Dora
Remmlin, a German widow.
To be certain that the infant comes
up to specifications it is well to make
arrangements some time in advance
of the day the little one is wanted, for
the reason that at present the demand
is greater than the supply.
The baby will cost from SO to $40.

child; need not give his or her right
name; need not promise to support
the child, and need show no refer.

the infant. The bargain can be made
in the strictest secrecy and with no
fear that the law will step in.
The discovery that babies are sold

only very much cheaper, was made by
investigation of an advertisement.
According to this advertisement a
woman wished to adopt a newly born
boy and girl. 1t developed that the
advertiser was Mrs. Remmlin and that
her purpose was to fill orders over
due.
From Mrs. Remmlin it was learned
that a large number of women sup
port themselves by the care and sale
of babies; that most of these are fos.
tered upon unsuspecting husbands;
that in some cases babies are
snapped; that the dealers consider
their business perfectly legitimate and
that the price of infants has declined
in inverse ratio to the cost of living
