LITTLE "VICTIMS.
A Philadelphia Hi- h Society Woman
Held in a Sensational Case.
BABIES SOLD AT ANY PBICE.
* ______
Ali When a Purchaser Could not
be Found the Little Innocent
Children Were Starved
to Death.
"With "Drf" David Mozler declaring
he would 'send all the people with
whom he was concerned to the gallows
unless tbey stopped "knocking" him
and a shocking revelation of the
methods of baby farmers in Philadel
phia, Coroner Dugan's injuiry into
the workings of the illegal practice
closed Friday.
It was shown that babies could be
bought at the farm for 850 each; that
they were sent the rounds of the farms
to find purchasers; that they were
sold to farms for $10 or less or sent to
them by the syndicate from its hos
pitals."
It was shown that babies not for
tunate enough to find a purchaser
?were starved to death or allowed to
die through neglect?in one specific
case put to sleep in the kennel with
the dogs and their bodies thrown into
sewers or abandoned in churches and
alleys.
"These institutions are a hotbed of
crime," said the Coroner, "and I have
undertaken this inquiry to show how
easy it is for any one to secure a child
for purposes Qf deception. I have
evidence which indicates that chil
den who have fallen into the, bands of
these people have been handed around
and then palmed off on unsuspecting
victims. No records of the little ones
are kept. No one knows where they
jro. Frequently they die from neglect
and their bodies are cast aside."
Coroner Dugan hopes to bring home
the many cases of dead and live in
fants found abandoned to the doors of
baby farms. ,
Hundreds of these cases have puz
zled the authorities for the last five
years. Specifically, he expects to prove
that the baby whose body was recently
found In the church at Forty-eight
and Lancaster avenue had gone the
rounds of baby farms. Clews to many
other startling developments, are
pouring in on the Coroner by mall
and from other sources.
Dr. Holser Friday swore before the
Coroner that he had seen Mrs. Eliza
beth Ashmead burn the bodies of
babies in the cellar of ber house, 256
South Twelch street. He was Friday
himself held to await the action of
the Grand jury to answer for the
death of an infant. M?dpr was ar
raigned with George Clark, the father
of the baby, and both men were re
committed to prison after the hearing.
Clark, it is charged, deposited the
; body of the child in a sewer, 'where it
was recovered by the authorities.
The uiorbid crowd in the Coroner's
court room Friday was disappointed in
the evidence. The testimony of a
little "/vman, pale and so weak that I
she could haridy stand, was sufficient,
however, to warrant holding Mosier
and Clark.
The only testimony that brought
the audience in the court room lean
ing foward in a listening attitude was
given in a whisper by Nellie Boyd.
With der nands covering ner eyes,
she said: I was alone with George
.Clark when the baby was born. I
I was so sick that I don't remember
why George placed the baby on the
table. It lived for an hour and a
half. Then George wrapped it up
and took it away."
"Speak louder," requested the Cor
onen
"I can't. I am still so weak," the
woman rf plied in a whisper.
At ttie conclusion of the' evidence
the Coroner's jury held Dr. Mosier re
sponsible for the baby's death, and
George Clark as an accessory.
Dr. Mosier went out into the corri
dor, lauirhing and joking with Detec
tive McKinney, but Clark, a shrivelled
little miactie-aged man, was paie witu
fright when led to the cellroom.
Detective McKinney was the first
witness called to the stand. He said
he had heard that Nellie Boyd was at
lib. 2649 North Fourth street dying
from tue effects of illegal practice.
He said that Dr. Joseph H. King,
of No. 2210 North Tenth street,
had so informed him. He stated that
he got George Clark in the room and
askea where the child had been taken,
and Clark finally broke down and con
fessed that he dad thrown it into a
sewer. McKinney went with Clark
to Marshall street and Lehigh avenue
and lowered Clark into the sewer.
Clark, after diving in the mud, fished
out the body.
Dr. King was then called to the
Stand. He said that he was graduat
ed from Edinburgh University in Scot
land, and bad practiced medicine for
thirty years. From a diary he read
his evidence. It was:
February 29-?Nellie Boyd, a former
nurse who was in my employ, came to
mc. 1 tvjld her that I wculd net take i
th" /,-"~'">) *,c" ?? ""I? si!most '?'u^e to re
sult in her death.
February 29, 2 p. m.?Nellie Boyd
returned this afternoon and said that |
she had been operated upou. She said j
that Dr. Mosier had taken the case
and had asked for 825, but finally ac
cepted 810, as she was a poor woman. [
MiiivL 4.?Mr. Bu.vd v?'ou aflci- \
ward proved to be George Clark)came i
to me ana said that his wife Nellie j
was seriously ill and needed medical
attention and money. I gave him 82
and advised him to see Dr. Mcisier for
help.
"At 2.:t0 p. m. the following Satur
day," King testified. "I again got a
call from George Clark.?>I went to
sjo the Mevsiers and saw Mrs. Mosier.
I told her that the doctor had better
supply Nellie Boyd with money and
medical attention or trouble was sure]
to follow."
iiiig?l baby farms were investigated ?
by Co/oner Dugan Friday at inquests
into the deaths of five infants which
were found dead at various places in ;
the city streets. While the Coroner
had no evidence connecting the baby ;
farms with these particular cases he ]
caneu tne roiiowing alleged 'Tarm-j
erz" as witnesses:
Mrs. Draper Prince of Peace Mat
ernity Home, North Marshall street;
Mrs. Mary K/au, 'No. 1208 Green
strpet; Mrs. Morris. No. 2930 Daughln
street; Mrs. Blaney, known as Dr.
Yanna, No. 674 North Eleventh
street; Willis Robinson, No. 3204
Haverford street; Mrs. Susie Dutz,
No. 739 North Seventy-fourth street;
Catharine Gerhart, No. 839 North
Sixth street: Annie Brandt, No. 604
North Sixth street; Madeline Hughes,
No. 503 North Sixth street, and Eliza
beth Osbourner, No. 2447 North Tenth
street.
Some of the women admitted they
adopted babies for S50, and hired
them out. In some of the places
there have been alarming death rates
among the children. The Coroner
said he had ordered several of them
not to adopt any more infants, but
they had done so notwithstanding.
Dr. Carns, the chief medical inspec
tor of the Board of Health, was pres
ent at the invitation of the Coroner to
hear the testimony.
Elizabeth Osbourner said she was a
registered midwife.
"Do you take children to board?"
"Yes. 1 get some infants from a
home on Westminster avenue."
' 'Do you take children from other
baby farms?"
"Only one."
"Did you take a child known as
Marion Smith?"
"Yes."
The witness admited that a child
which had died at her place had been
taken to Dover, Del., for burial. The
death certificate had been ootained
from the regular physician.
Henrietta Mcons, of 29c:6 Dauphin
street, admitted taking children for
adoption.
"Sometimes I get 335, sometimes
340; once I got 350 for adopting chil
dren," she said.
"How do you fix the value?"
"It depends on circumstances."
"How often was Mariou Smith
taken away from your house?"
Only once. I got 335 for adopting
her and gave Mrs. Osbourner S10 to
take her away."
The witness admitted that she had
secured a child for Dr. Yanne, who
was acting as the agent of "people
who needed one."
"Don't you know that Dr. Yanne
is in serious trouble in the West?"
asked the Coroner.
The witness produced a record as to
babies now at her house. Those in
cluded Elizabeth Camden, Walter
Camden, Peter Camden, Paul Camden
and Boy Manayunk. It was develop
ed that these last names indicated the
locality from which the children were
secured rather than the parents. The,
identity of the latter was lost.
In the case of Elizabeth Camden
the baby had beeu turned over to Mrs
Norris in a Camden railroad depot and
the parent subsequently vanished.
"Boy," Manayunk's father and
mother had hidden their responsibili
ty for his future in a false name and
address.
""Are not infants taken from you
for purposses of deception?" asked the
Coroner.
"No."
"How do you do; what became of
"Boy" Manayunk?"
"The. people gaye. me a false name
and address."
Mrs. Clara Blaney admitted that
six deaths had occured la her estab
lishment. She said Mrs. Yanne owned
it, and she paid the rent.
Catherin Kerhart, of No. 839 North
Sixth street, admitted the adoption of
babies, and iu also developed that she
was a source of supply for the show
business. She bad furnished some < f
the living exhibits for the baby incub
ators* for use in the Pan-American
Exhibition and at Coney Island.
??jjr.'' Mozier was committed to
prison Friday on an additional charge
of having performed an illegal opera
tion upon Mrs. Nellie Boyd, causing
her death, and George Clark was held
as an accessory.
Grace Ashraead, daughter of Mrs.
Elizabeth Ashraead, and Jennie Her-'
shaw, were held in 3600 bail each as
witnesses in the Ashmead-MoVickar
case.
Ellerts to secure bail for Mrs.
Ashraead and her son, Howland
Atmiiicauj wiju aie itccuseu in illegal
practice, and who were held after a
coroner's inquest Friday, have been
in vain.
Afcer Counterfeiters.
There is counterfeit money floating
around and a number of warning cir
culars have been issued regarding it.
The United States secreat service
men are right behind the counterfeit
ers and a special to the Charlotte
Observer from Greensboro says: "The
United States government's secret
service detective are hot on the trail
of the gang who have been recently
flooding the state with counterfeit
ten-dollar bills. On the one-dollar
bills, which very much resemble the
new 810* series, the counterfeiters
have deftly put the necessary touches
to make it readily pass for the new $10
issue. There is an eagle on the one
dollar bill which the ten-dollar bill
does not possess, and the spuriousness
of the raised bill can be r-\sily detect
ed. Several of these bills have been
found here, but it is in the eastern
part of the state, where it issaid they
are most generally in circulation. Af
ter a conference with Greensboro po
lice authorities, the secretservice men
took the train for Raleigh, having
gained there, it is said, an important
link in the chain of evidence which
was lost in Fayetteville, where a ne
gro had been arrested, having in his
posession one of the raised bills, but
who refused to 'talk.'"

Strikes Cost Money.
The New York state beard of medi
ation has recently published an annual
report. Up to September, 1903, there
were more strikes, lockouts and labor
troubles in general in New York than
in any previous year, excepting per
haps the year 1880. During the past
year there were 192 labor troubles,
involving 117,000 employers, and in
consequence .'!,900,000 working days
were lost. Owing to the New York
building trades strikes .'J7,0.'17 laborers
were idle, the total loss in wages
amounting to nearly seven million
dollars. This is a terrible showing
as to results of such labor movements,
and is a very potent argument in fa
vor of arbitration in such matters.

An Important Decision.
Three opinions were filed in the su
preme court Tuesday by Justice Eu
gene B. Gary, but only one was of
public interest. This was the case
of Lockwnod vs. Lockwood. William
II. Lockwood was for many years pro
prietor of the Hank of Beaufort, a
private institution. Tie died July 2.'1,
1902, being testate and solvent. There
were many claims against his bank
and among these were the claims of
H. O. Adams, county treasurer (34,
187.;t9.) and George Gage, clerk and
treasurer of the city of Beaufort (81,
351.77). These two depositers claimed
perference over other creditors saying
that the moneys they wished to recov
er were public funds. They were sus
tained in this contention by the cir
cuit judge. Appeal was made, the
only question raised being whether or
not the judge was right in sustaining
this claim. The appellants maintain
ed that the sums deposited were in
the names of Adams and Gage as
treasurers, and this fact should give
them no preference. Judge Gary sus
tains the lower court, giving several
authorities and also citing section
2358 of the code of laws. The funds
were net the actual properties of these
treasurers, he says, and they could not
have drawn upon them in their indi
vidual capacity, some recognition of
their official status being necessary.
Public funds have preference in cases
of this kind._

PBEABIS THAT CAME TRUE.
Scientists Tells of Premonitory
Visions That Come to Pass.
Premonitory dreams are scoffed at
by the sceptic of matters psychic, but
nevertheless some of the visions of
this kind are related as truth by men
of science and research. Canaille
Flammarion, the noted astronomer,
in his book, "The Unknown," tells
the following: ,?
"During a certain summer one of
my sisters had gone with her husband
and her children to live in the little
town of Nogent (Ilaute-Marne:) ray
father had accompanied them and ray
mother remained in Paris. All the
children were in good health and no
one felt any uneasiness in regard to
them. My mother dreamed that she
received a letter from my father, in
which she read this sentence: 'I am
the hearer of a sad piece of news; lit
tle Henri has just died in convulsions,
with hardly any previous illness.' My
mother, on awakening, said to herself:
'It is nothing but a dream; it is all
imagination and deception.1 A week
afterwards a letter from my father
contained precisely this very phrase.
My poor sister had just lost her young
est child in consequence of convul
sions.
"My oldest brother, Emile Zipelius,
an artist, died on September 16, 1865,
25 years of age, he was drowned while
bathing in the Moselle. He lived in
Paris, but he was then visiting his
parents at Pompey, near Nancy. My
mother had dreamed twice, of wide
intervals, that this son would be
drowned.
"When the person charged to bear
the terrible news to his parents came
to inform them my mother, feeling
sure that he came to announce some
misfortune, first asked could it be
anything about an absent daughter,
from whom she had no news for sev
eral days. When he told her that it
was nothing about her daughter, she
said: 'Don't tell, me, then. I know
what it is.?My son is drow ned.' We
had a letter from him that same day,
so that nothing could have led us to
foresee such a catastrophe.
"My brother himself had said to his
concierge a short time before: 'If
any night I do not come home go the
r^xt day to the morgue and look for
m3. I have a presentiment that 1
i snail die In the water.
"My parents lived in the small
town of Montigny le-Roi (Haute-,
Marne.) I had begun my studies at
Langres, and they bad decided to
leave the country for the capital, ac
tuated, above all, by the desire to
open to their children the most prom
ising career. A fortnight before their
departure my mother dreamed that
she had arrived in Paris and she had
crossed to wide streets and reached a
canal, across which there wns an ele
vated bridge. Some little time after
her actual arrival in Paris she went to
pay a visit to one of her relatives who
lived in the Rue Fontaine-au-Roi, in
the Faubourg du Temple, and, upon
reaching the canal, she was much
surprised to recognize the bridge, the
qjay, the whole appearance of the
r eighborhood, of which it wns impos
Rihie that she could have any knowl
edge either by means of pictures or in
any other way.
"This dream is very difficult to ex
plain. It would seem to prove that
the mind is able to see at a distance,
and during the night, details which
conform by day to the image remain
ing in the brain. This, however, is
hard to believe."
MAKES WORK EASIER.
I Orangeburg People arc Pleased to Learn
How It Is Done.
It's pretty hard to attend to duties
with a constantly aching back;
With annoying urinary disorders.
Doan's Kidney Tills make work
easier.
They cure backache
They cure every kidney ill.
A. s. Chancy, mill hand in the Cot
ton Mill, says: "My back and kidneys
troubled me for a number of years.
A dull heavy pain existed in the small
of my back, faking a'l ambition out of
me and preventing me from getting
any rest or sleep at night. At times
it was so severe ; s to make me lay off
from work for days at a time, which
means dollars and cents. 1 consulted
! a doctor and he told me after a thor
ough examination that 1 had diabetes.
1 could not well afford the extensive
treatment he thought necessary and I
tried the best recommended remedies
1 knew of, but not receiving any bene
fit from any of them I was perfectly
discouraged. Someone told me about
Doan's Kidney Pills and I procured a
box at tlie J.G. Wannamaker Mlg. Co.
I did not expect them to do me any
more good than any other remedies I
had tried and could hardly believe my
own feelings when my back stopped
aching. In a short time the kidney
secretions became normal and regular:
I rested well at nights and my work
became a pleasure tu me. For what
Doan's Kidney Pills did for me I can
and will recommend them to others."

QUICK CURE
Of Torturing Eczema
by Cuticura
When fin-Else Had
Utterly Failed.
" My baby, Owen Herbert Quirk, was
afflicted from the age of six weeks with
a loathsome running eczema, almost
covering his face. I took him to Drs.
- and - of Victoria Road,
Aldershot, and he was treated by them
for three months, but got mach worse,
and was a sickening sight to lock at.
I saw an advertisement of the Cntlcwa
Remedies, and got the Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent.
"We noticed an
Improvement at
once, and within a
fortnight tho raa
ning had ceased
and the scales were
nearly all dried off,
and in a month his
face was perfectly
clear, not a spot
left. I have en
closed photograph
of him when fce
was thirteen months old. He is now
two years and four months, and has
never had the slightest return of it. I
am very grateful for the benefits de
rived from yonr remedies, and shall
feel it a pleasure to make their value
known. For corroboratlon of this
statement you may refer any one to
Mrs. Williams, 4"? Michaels Road. Aider

of the value of Cuticura."
