more than a year. 1t was charged that
the child was abused, beaten, kept in a

ate green corn, green apples and acornS,
and was neglected when she flnalfy be-
came sick. Boils and ringworms appear

may have resulted from frost bites.
The supreme court, however, found no
testimony by any eyewitness to any
whippings or other abuses of the child
by either Kasper or his wife. The only
thing of the kind, the opinion states, was
an admission by Mrs. Kasper that she
would expend no more strength In WHIP

no testimony, the court adds, that the
eruptions or sores the child suffered from
were due to lack of care, clothing or
