was changed to manslaughter. The
state contended that when. Loretta,
or "Tootsie" as she was caAed, was
sent home from school on tie morn

her to death. Then, in order to ,di-
vert suspicion, according to the states
allegation, he mutilated the child's
body and concealed it in the woods
near the home in Melrose, so as to
make it appear that his daughter had
been the victim of degenerate.
