Show Case of Infanticide. Human Brutes Strangle Four Day Child. Failed to Cover Crime. A most gruesome case of Infanticide came to light at American Fall last Friday afternoon when the remains of a four-days'-old child was found In the tho Snake river. From Information received it appears ap-pears the infant had been strangled to death as tho strings were left about the throat. The culprit then put the body In a telescopo grip and It Is sup posed It was then dropped from a car, as the train passed over tho bridge, the Intention evidently being to have tho waters of tho river cover up the deed. However, a miscalculation must havo been made, as the grip was found near the bank, the perpetrator of the deed having been too hasty and had not thrown tho evidence of the crime far enough into the stream to permit the water to carry it away. Deputy Sheriff Sell went down to American Falls last Saturday, the sheriff's olllce being notified, as It Is claimed the body was placed aboard tho train at some point east of the Falls and Deputy Sell will take a full description of the clothing worn by tho infant, tho suit case, and will take noto of everything that could possibly form a clue to tho guilty parties, and should they be apprehended appre-hended their punishment will speedily follow. |
