The woman was at- tempting to hide behind a door of | the residence of Charles Beach, 419 i King street west, where she had spent | the night, after leaving the station. Charged by Chief of Police Burke with having deserted the child, the woman gave way and confessed. She | was slightly acqudfinted with Mrs. Beach, who gave her lodging last | night on her statement tnat she was out of funds and needed a place to sleep prior to leaving for Butternut Bay this morning. "She added that she intended to proceed from Butter- nut Bay to Grenadier Island, where she believed no person would look for her. The baby was born here six weeks ago. Miss Hayes went to Kingston | with the child and there endeavored | to secure foster-parents for the in- { fant. Failing in this effort, she re- | turned to Brockville. The Hayes woman was lodged in | the cells at the police station. She gives the name of a certain Brown, whose Christian name is unknown to her, as the man in the case. "The baby was found on the floor of the women's toilet room at the Union/ station, with two well-filled roursing bottles and a can of con- densed milk. "Police officials are inclined to think that either the woman deliber- ately abandoned the child or else be- came temporarily deranged. "The variance with which she indicated her some weight in supporting the latter theory." formed of the matter, could pot iden- tify the Hayes woman. -------- FINE--RDING _ EXHBITO} WAS PUT ON AT THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE.
