BABY CLEVELAND DIES
YEAR AFTER PARENTS
ASKED FOR ITS DEATH

Des Moines, Jan. 1i.-Nature has
solved the problem of the Cleveland
baby.
The tiny deformed infant died in the
chlldren's ward at Iowa Methodist hos
pital Tuesday night
Baby Cleveland's" father went to
police headquarters just a year ago
and asked police to snuff out the fiut-
tering flame of the infants life by adj
mlnistering chloroform or other pain
less measure.
The babe had just been born. 1t
was deformed. 1t cried most of the
time, day and night. driving the
mother to distraction. The parents
believed that if death did not come
their baby would grow up a burden to
itself and to humanity And they
couldn't stand to see it suffer and to
look upon it's deformities.
Baby Cleveland" came into the
world after DR.. Haiselden, the Chi
cago physician, refused to perform an
operation that would have saved a de-
formed rbaby's life. The baby was al
lowed to die because he believed it
would have been burden to itself and
to humanity.
So when police refused. DR.. Hais-
eden came from Chicago to see Baby
Cleveland. He declared the infant
was not one in the class that should
be permitted to die. He said there was
a chance thru operation to overcome
the handicaps of deformity. Opera
tons were performed. Those upon the
mouth were very successful. The baby
was able to take nourishment out of a
bottle.
But epileptic fits were a foe not
counted then. They developed and
just before death. the baby had been
having from one to four daily. Pneu-
monia set in and the struggle to live
was soon over.
The baby was kept thruout the year
in the children's ward at Methodist
hospital.
