DEAD BODY OF A BABY
|. FOUND ON HILL SLOPE
From Mondays Daily.

(, From Mondays Daily
The dead body of a female child
was found yesterday afternoon about
twenty-five feet down the east slope
of the ravine on Prospect Heights,
probably hundred yards south of
the last house on the hill. 1t was
wrapped in a copy of local paper
dated May 80, 1912. The date line on
all but one sheet had been cut off,
and on the second page the word
the" had been written, to all APP
pearances by the hand of child.
The body of the dead baby had burst
through the paper and from its pc
sition on the side of the hill, one
would be led to think that it had
been thrown from the crest of the
hill and had slid part way down
Marks on Head
There were two marks on the
child's head that looked as if they
had been made by the side of the
claw of hammar, according to
Coroner Leidloff, who was called to
take care of the body. He thinks
that the child was only a. few days
old, and that it had not lain on the
hill for more than three days. The
coroner said that at the time of its
birth it was evident that there had
been no medical attendance, as the
cord and placenta were still attach
ed. One of the marks on the head
had cut the scalp and the blood had
oozed out and formed a scab, but
the other blow, if there was one
anything of that nature, had not cut
oh, IA s.Iy
fully developed weighed seven
pounds, and had red hair.
Believes II Was Murdered.
Coroner Liedloff is of the opinion
that the baby has been cruelty MUIR
dered, and will conduct a thorough
investigation to find out who are its
parents.
Coroner Liedloff conducted a post
mortem examination of the dead
body of the infant this morning and
arrived at the conclusion that the
child had died from strangulation
and from blows on the head infiict-
ed by some blunt instrument. The
body weighed six pounds. Parts of
the lung tissue would not float in
water, showing that they had never
been inflated, and that the babe had
never breathed. There. were four
small marks under the chin which
might have been made by holding
the mouth and nose, to keep the
child from screaming and thus
strangling it to death. The brain
and abdominal cavities were con-
Sested and free blood was found in
the stomach. There was a mark
across the top of the heads about two
and quarter inches long, which
had broken the scalp and the blood
had clotted over the abrasion There
was hemorrhage under the wound,
and under another mark on the top
of the head, which did not break
the skin, was another hemorrhage
DR.. Liedloff thinks that these are
not accidental marks
No Clew Is Obtained.
No clew has been discovered as
to the identity Of the mother. but
very thorough Investigations will be
made. All the doctors and drug
gists will be interviewed, to ascer-
tain If any of them are treating a
woman who might be the mother OF
the murdered child.
1t is states prison ofrense for
anyone to conceal childbirth and
anyone who might be harboring the
mother of this child, and attempting
to conceal the fact that child had
been born would also be prosecuted
according to law.
