UNWANTED BABY
SLAIN BY MOTHER
UNWED PARENT, AN EMPLOYE
OF U. S., IS HELD FOR
RASH DEED.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 5—An un
wanted baby was stabbed to death in
this city today by its unwed mother
who sought to dispose of the body by
I burning it in a furnace.
Leona Holman, 26 years old, went
to the janitor of her apartment house
and asked permission to burn a pack
age. She crammed the bundle into
the fiery grate. Her nervousness
aroused the suspicions of the janitor
who investigated and found the baby’s
body. It had been stabbed with a
pair of scissors. Horrified, he noti
fied the owner of the apartment who
called the police.
Detectives arrested tile young
woman, a treasury department em
ploye, and took her to the house of
detention and later to a hospital. She
was unnerved.
The baby, a girl, was born last
Wednesday without medical aid. No
charges had been placed against the
girl by police up to a late hour.

BONDER TRAIN CREWS WEARING STEEL
VESTS TO REPLACE MESSENGER BOYS
IN N E W YORK’S FINANCIAL DISTRICT
NEW YORK, Mar. 5.— (AP)—The National Surety company
which serves about 80 per cent of the financial institutions in
the Wall Street district, has announced that bonded train crews pro*
tecte dby steel vests within the next few days will replace messen
ger boys for their clients in an effort to reduce the number of bond
robberies.
It was said that crews employed on numerous trains out of
New York, who have almost nothing to do between 10 o'clock in
the morning and 4 o’clock in the afternoon, will be employed to
carry currency and negotiable securities in the financial district.
The present method of using boys has resulted in numerous large
i thefts. The railroads and railroad unions have given their consent
| to the plans, it was said.

LEAPS FROM FOUNDRY GRATE
SOON AFTER FiRE IS MADE
BY THE JANITOR
| LOUISVILLE. Ky., Mar. 5—How
; Albert Lee Cleaver. 12 years old, erot
; into a furnace at the plant of the Na
| tional Forge Co., where he was fatal
| lv burned today, is a mystery to his
: parents, Mr. and Mrs. William E. Civ -
I ver.
I. John Jones, the negro janitor,
i said that when the fire was lighted
in the furnace used to melt iron, h“
! did not know the boy was there,
i The boy. a veritable bail of fire
’ leaped from the flaming interior a
i minute after the furnac. was lighted.
; the negro told officers.
| Between lapses into unconscious
| ness at the city hospital, Albert told
l his mother that he had lain down be
' side the furnace and went to sleep
; last night. The mother said the
boy may have meant inside of the fur
nace instead of beside it.
Jones lighted the furnace at G:2o
this morning, he told officials of th*
company. Flames flared up and filled
the entire interior of the furnace, ae
j cording to the janitor. Jones said lm
walked away, then heard a scream,
i and as he turned the boy jumped out
of the opening.
Near at hand was a bucket or old
rags which the negro seized in his at
tempt to smother the flames. He call
ed for help, and another employe hur
riedly responded. The boys clothes
were burned off and his hands and
entire body were severely scorced.
The furnace door through which Al
bert escaped is about two feet high
and four and a half feet wide.
EDIT
A suitor lor the hand of a movie
actress should never despair; his
turn will come sooner or later.
When an English boy murdered
his father and mother, leniency was
asked for him because he was an
orphan.
