Cleveland spoke with discouraging
earnestness.

this baby hasn't any regular mouth
at all and the doctors say she might
not ever be able to eat regular food
and chief, she has fits all the time
and my wife she does nothing but cry
all the time-and she's sick. So
ask the doctors to kill the baby, but
they wouldn't because they said the
police wouldn't let them. So | came
to you to ask if you'd help me to do it

AT Cleveland's desolate home the
city physician found the baby in con-

He instructed that both be taken to a

DR.. Harry H. Haiselden, who for
humanitarian reasons permitted baby
Bollinger to die when an operation
might have saved it's life, said that he
might go to Des Moines to look into
the case of the Cleveland baby.
"Of course no physician would kill
the child, but in such a case l would
control the CONFUSION by the use of
bromides, and the result of such treat
ment is almost invariably DEATH" said
DR.. Haiselden.
