The Suspicious Discovery of a Child's Body.
♦ [By TeliEgraph.J [united pjiess association.] Oamabu, 13th October. At the inquest held this morning upon the remains of a child found by the police, evidence was given that a woman named Sol Sorgensen gave birth to a female child two months ago, and a month afterward removed to another cottage, taking her two children with her. She remained at the latter about a week, and then went to Dunedin with onlyone chijd, and told her friends that the other was with a woman named Scott at East Taieri. The child had disappeared so suddenly that the neighbours suspected foul play. Dr. Garland's ovidence was that the body had been mutilated, so as to destroy the sexual organs, to prevent identification. The inquest stands adjourned for a fortnight, to give time for further investigation. The woman is still at large.
