Mother Finds Infant Dead From Deadly Trick of Cat? Animal Tried
Same Thing Before on Two-year-old Boy.
W'hIJo Mrs. Alice Thnxton slept with
her Ui bo cuddled iu tier arms a big
black cat which has loug been regard
ed as an ill ouieu b.v superstltlously In
clined persons In the neighborhood
sucked away the life's breath of the
Infant.
Mrs. Thaxton's slumber was broken
by the purring of the cat. which stood
la tho coverlet with one paw on the
tender throat of the baby. The moth
er. almost frantic, grubbed tho cat arid
lung it to the floor.
Surprised that it bad not awakened
her tiny daughter, she turned on the
light to Investigate. She found the
child dead. The cat had sucked away
the baby's breath until it expired. It
I i believed that the baby bud Just
t reathed Its last when Mrs. Thaxton
a woke.
The singular tragedy occurred recent
'y at the Thaxton home, 5210 Mornlng
eldo avenue, Pittsburg. Mrs. Thaxton
] retired with her daughter, when she
| was aroused by the whining of the cat.
After she hail made the awful dis
covery Mrs. Thaxton summoned her
husband. John Thaxton. from an ad
joining romi. Thaxton threw the cat
out the window. Ii has not been seen
iu the uelghborhood since.
Two weeks ago the same cat was
discovered sucking the breath of Ar
thur Thaxton. aged two. and the boy
was revived with difficulty.
The death of the Thaxton baby Is
one of the only two eases on reeord In
this country which support the old
German nursery legend. The other
case occurred In ClarUsvllle. Allegheny
county, last January, wheu Beunenlta
M. Deln was found In a dying condi
tion with a big cat crouching on her
breast. The coroner's jury at that
time rendered a verdict of "suffocation
due to a cat sucUlng breath from tb?
child."
Curate Flees With Woman.
Leaves English Home With Wife of Banker Alier Being Named as
Home Wrecker In Divorce Suit.
A clerical Louse wrecker was cited
In the person of the Ilev. John Wll- ,
llaui Gardiner, formerly curate at I
Killing, England, who did not defend
the divorce petition brought by Wil
liam Thomas Cope, a banker of Eal
ing road. South Ealing, against his
wife. Mrs. Marie I.ouise Cope, oil the
ground of misconduct.
Mr. and Mrs. Cope took great Inter
est in a mission In their district. South
Killing. wheu the pastor was curate 1
In charge, and the latter became a
constant visitor at Mr. Cope's house
and received considerable assistance i
from Mr. Cope.
On Feb. l.'i last Mr. Cope returned
by an early train from a theater and
found his front door lock-d. which ;
had never occurred before Mis. Cope
opened the tloor, she l*?ing much agi
tated. The curate was In the dining;
room. When Mr. Cope demanded mil
explanation the wife became ausfry ?
and went t" hi r r >ons. Sub-eipiently
the vicar was e.ii'M, nnlentrd with and'
as soon as possible arrn ngements were
i*i:nl?* for tin* curate's severance from
i lie parish.'
Mrs. Cope wns entitled to property
and shares worth '?>, iinil tlio se
curities were In ber husband's custo
dy hut ufier this affair n solicitor on
her helm If ileinaiiileit them, and when
they had lieen handed over Mrs. Cope
left niul Joined Mr. Gardiuer. Togeth
or they went to i!eriu:iuy.
A letter signed by both wns received
by Mr. Cope, su.vlng:
"We hove decided It Is best for us
to no nway together. We hope you
will forgive us. Our prayer Is that
<!od will."
Mr. Cope In his evidence described
the corespondent as his bosom friend.
Wit 111? sent for him after the Feb
ruary Incident. and th? curate came
nnd "swore by all that lie held most
holy that no familiarity had taken
place."

Hat Cause of Tragedy.
Hurrying to See Neighbor's Headgear. New York Woman Stumbles.
Fractures Her Skull and Dies as a Result.
To her absorbed luterest iu a new
hat Mrs. Mary Swayze, wife of Sam
uel tt\ Swayze, a retired real estate
broker of 212 West One Hundred and
Twenty-third street. New York, owed
her death. She tripped and fell In the
yard of her home, and her skull was
fractured against a stone. A physieiau
said it was remarkable that her death
should he caused by such a fall, and at
tirst It was thought she hud been
stricken with heart disease. A close
evuulnatlou, however, revealed the
fracture.
Mrs. Swayze was hurrying for a
closer look at a new hat that Miss I.o
llta Her roil of 211 West One Hundred!
and Twenty-secoud street had triiu
uied. The yards of the Swuvze and
tlerron houses adjoin eai h other. Miss
Herron was at a rear window. Sli"
saw Mrs. Swayze and held up the hat
in a spirit of satisfaction.
"Look at my new hat, Mrs. Swayze,"'
she suUl. "1 have Just finished It."
The triumph of amateur millinery
art was held up to view. Mrs. Swayze
was moved to iitluilration.
"How did you do it, Miss Herron?"
she exclaimed. "That's just fine, and
I must have a closer look at It!"
Mrs. Swa.vze started forward, aud
Miss Herron held the hat out so that
her neighbor might take it in her
hands. When Mrs. Swa.vze was with
in a few feet of t lie window she stum
Med and fell on her face.
"Oh, Mrs. Swayze. I hope you're not
hurt!" exclaimed Miss Herron, but
there was uo answer. "Mrs. Swayze,
Mrs. Swayze!" called the other wouiau.
When her frleud remained silent and
motionless Miss Herron screamed. It
was thought by those who gathered
around that the prostrate woman uiere
had fainted. Water was dashed In her
face, her hands were rubbed and other
means tried t<> restore her to conscious
ness.
When there was no response to thr
treatr. cut Pr. Schauth was summoned.
A ?n '< !; examination by him revealed
the M.irtllng truth.
