Professor Twins remarks on

existing in ones home town that

was wrapped in linen towel and
newspaper dated in February. OF
course, the report soon got out and
it was widely circulated that the
infant had been foully dealt with, al
though some observers were of the
opinion that it had never seen the
light Of day. Coroner Jacob Sites
who was notified of the grewsome
affair, went out to the quarry and
after examining the dead infant and
