BABY IN PARCEL
FOUND DEAD BY POSTMAN
LONDON, February 16.
At the inquest on the body of a baby which was posted from a Leeds shop address, a Dublin jury returned a verdict of death owing to post-natal neglect. The postman was unaware of the contents of the parcel, which was wrapped in newspaper and labelled "With care," until a shop-hand's inquiry led him to open it, when he saw the baby's head. The body bore no marks of violence.
