BUYING A BABY
STARTLING ENGLISH CASE. LONDON, April 23. Evidence in the Chichester Court, when Henry and Mary Bidwell were sentenced to 28 days for exposing a child so as to cause suffering, disclosed the remarkable adventures ,-f an 18-months baby. The Bidwells acquired it from an inmate of a Guildford lodging house, who bought it for two shillings from a person unknown, and kept it in a perambulator with a gramophone in order to excite sympathy as peripatetic minstrels. The Bidwells were previusly convicted on a similar charge, regarding their own daughter, which like the infant in the present case, was handed over to the authorities.
