young Richland Center mother charged
with her baby's murder, probably did
not come to its death by strangulation,
as charged by the state. This startling

Baraboo Wednesday following a post
norton examination of the infants
body by DR.. C. H. Bunting, University
of Wisconsin pathologist, and DR..
Louis r. Head, Madison surgeon, who
discovered slight skull fracture
during the autopsy. The post-mortem
was urged by District Attorney H. j.
Bohn and Defense Counsel H. M. Lam
ger at the close of Wednesdays hear
ing. No marks of violence having been
found on the child's skull. the cOron-
er returned a decision of death by
strangulation, basing his verdict on
slight marks On the throat, and the
testimony of Mrs. Anna Hood Spring
Green, who declared she found the
mother with her hands around her
baby's neck. The finger-marks about
the throat, however, could not have
caused death, It was found by Drs.
Bunting and Head, while the fracture
to the baby's skull was severe enough
to have been fatal With the discovery,
it is expected that the state will with
draw its complaint charging death by
strangulation against Miss RadeI and
recharge her with the baby's death,
as resulting from skull fracture. The
mother has been in the county Jail
at Baraboo since her arrest on Dec. T.
