Mother Poisons Baby and Self;
Feared Job for Ailing Mate
Chances Eren Infant Viii
Recover, So She Is
Eager to Liue.

In stuffy furnished room at 744
Sixth street early today, the courage
Of slender young mother snapped
after valiant struggle against pow
erty and ill health and she decided
to die with her 17-day-old baby.
Silently, so as not to awaken her
husband and their 3-year- daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ethel Lawson, %, moved
across the room to the bureau drawer,
where her infant son William slept.
Cuddling him In her arms, she fed
him three tiny spoonfuls of poison.
As the caustic liquid scared his mouth,
the infant began to scream
Up from his bed leaped Leon Law
son, IS, unemployed disabled veteran,
to snatch the child from his wife's
arms.
1T is for the best, Leon" sobbed
the young wife, and she drained the
contents of the bottle.
The infant was rushed to Children's
Hospital, where physicians today said
1t had $3.50 chance" to live. Mrs.
Lawson, In Gallinger Hospital, was
pronounced out OF danger.
Lawson was stunned by the tragedy
because. when he went to bed last
night hs was confident he had found
. silver lining in the black cloud OF
misfortune that had hovered over his
family for the last three years. Only
. few hours before he had been noti-
ned by the Public Employment Center
that he might flnd work as a lunch
room counterman today.
But 1t was the notice that snapped
the final strand Of Mrs. Lawson's
courage
Il knew it would kill him to work."
she conflded, fighting bravely to hold
back her tears at the hospital today.
His heart is bad, and he has been
looking so pitiful recently. just knew
he shouldn't 60 to work. I had been
sick. and he had been doing all the
washing and cooking and taking
care OF Jewel. I felt 50 sorry for him
and didn't want to be q burden on
him.
I don't know what happened, but
1t seemed just couldn't stand it any
longer. I decided to die and the baby
was 80 little and helpless I didn't
want to leave him behind without me.
Sorry Soon Afterward.
"A minute after I gave him the
poison, I was sorry. The poor little
fellow-1 felt 10 sorry for him. He
only had two shirts and not enough
diapers. He was an 8-month baby
and should have had lots Of care I
couldn't give him. He didn't even have
. crib"
Mrs. 1Awson's first concern this
morning was over the condition Of her
baby.

CLUE
GIVEN BY JUDGE
Police Learn Name of Slain
Mans Companion-Broken
Glasses Held important.

A search for man reported to
have been with Gustav Herman Pop
penberg several hours before the 81.
year-old Capital real estate dealer
was found fatally shot In Berwyn.
Nd. early yesterday, was opened this
afternoon by Prince Georges County
police.
Onncers said the man has not come
forward to inform police of ANYTHING
he might know concerning the mys-
terry. His name was supplied to ON
GERS by Justice of the Peace George
8. Phillips Of Berwyn.
1t also was revealed by police that
cracked lens from 4 pair OF glasses
worn by Poppenberg was found in
the stolen Army trunk in which the
dead mans body was discovered. An
earpiece from his glasses was found
in Poppenberg's abandoned automobile
on Wednesday night in the c. L o.
Canal bed near Great Falls, Nd.
Clues Held Important.
Police said they were inclined to
attach considerable importance to
both new developments, particularly
the broken glasses. They pointed out
that Poppenberg's defective vision re-
quired him to wear glasses while driv-
Ing an automobile.
Both new developments came while
relatives held firmly to 4 foul play
theory.
Judge Phillips declared an inquest will
be ordered into Poppenberg's death.
Phillips said the hearing is to be
held some time next week" after
Prince Georges County police have
had Sufficient time to investigate
every angle Of the case"
The belief that Poppenberg NAV
have been murdered and left in the
stolen Army truck in which 1t was
discovered in an alley behind the
st. AIMS Orphanage, was expressed
by James D. Reddins Of 3l0 Hamilton
street, brother-in-law Of the dead
man.

Justice Of the Peace Phillips to have
an autopsy performed and that
Phillips had assured him the appeal
would be presented. along with Phil

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
HELD LIBERTY LAW
Paul A. Harsch Says in Lecture
Here It Leads to Goal of
True Independence.

A lecture on christian Science
the Perfect Law OF Liberty" was de-
livered last night by Paul A. Harsch,
c. S. B., of Toledo, Ohio, at the First
Church of Christ, Scientist.
Mr.. Harsch, member of the board
OF lectureship of the Mother Church,
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, was introduced by Bernard
c. Duncan, first reader of the First
Church here, which sponsored the
lecture.
Just as Jesus, 1900 years ago, gave
the world simple recipe for freedom,
Mr.. Harsch said, so Christian Science
today leads the way fearlessly and
directly to that goal of true independ-
ence which has been the Ell Dorado
OF all true thinkers throughout the
ages"
Mr.. Harsch pointed out some of the
necessary steps in taking people out
OF the bondage of material sense into
the spiritual heaven of harmony.
1t must be recognized first, he ex-
planned, that liberty is a spiritual
qualify spTlnglng from the source OF
all good, God; that in all of Gods
universe of good, throughout His en-
tire creation, freedom of spiritual ac-
ton is the birthright of Gods chill
dren. Next. he pointed out, Chris
tian Science demands a thorough ex-
animation of "the illusion of material
sense" and he defined illusion as that
which seems to be but is never true.
Finally, he said, the fact of mans
God-given liberty is established by
uncovering the carefully hidden meth
ods OF the enslaving material senses
by exposing them to the sunlight of
truth. BY so doing, he declared, truth
brings about their destruction, since
such an exposure means a large part
Of the destruction of evil.

PANAMA CITY, Fla, September
3.-The story OF heroic 25-hour
swim through choppy seas with the
word OF . steampship wreck was un-
folded today, while Coast Guardsmen
pursued, with deadening hope, .
search for is missing members Of
the crew Of the freighter Tarpon.
The hunt unleashed by the exploit
OF Addley Baker, 25-year-old Mobile.
Ala, oiler, resulted in the rescue Of
nine survivors Of the crew Of 20 Two
Negroes drifted ashore on floating
wreckage. The rescuers recovered two
bodies, including that OF Capt. W. G..
Barrow, veteran skipper, who was
making his l,735th trip with the Tar
pom when 1t foundered early Wedres-
day, 20 miles of East Pass in the
Gulf Of Mexico
I'D swim until I couldn't lift my
arms" said Baker from a hospital
bed in recounting how he covered
the rs miles to shore In quest OF help,
then I'd float for a while and swim
oOAAS "AoAS. l IN WAtCl WoS ColO AIlu
I wondered II I could reach shore
Il thought Of my wife mostly. And
I thought Of my shipmAtes I won
dered II help had come to them"
Baker said the Tarpon had run into
heavy weather late Tuesday and the
freighter had been shipping seas for
hours before the pumps failed. He
donned a life preserver and fought
his way to the deck as the ship listed
to the pounding Of the waves, then:
She turned over and We grabbed
whatever we coul1. The rigging
caught me and carried NE and Chief
Engineer William c. Mcknight about
feet under. I found my way up
and grabbed a plank.
The others were struggling in the
water. Some Negroes began singing
or praying, I couldn't tell which. i.
Il held on to my plank for over
an hour. Near me WAS Cecil Smith,
another oiler Qater rescued. I told
him I saw land and was going to
swim for it. He said to wait. tho
ship would be missed and the Coast
Guard would rescue us. But I struck
out"
He came ashore and told the story
that sent the Coast Guard cutter
Triton to the scene. The survivors
were picked of the wreckage to which
they had clung for 36 hours.
All the missing men were Negroes.
F. G. OConnor, general freight AGENT
for the Tarpon's owners. said 10 white
men and about l9" Negroes were
aboard
OConnor recalled that the 449-
ton. 175-foot Tarpon had been fed
orally inspected just before starting
the fatal voyage. Some sources ad-
Vanced the theory that . shift Of
the cargo might have caused tho
sinking.
