WHERE'S THE BABY! MtBBII CI-BMt, A (OCNQ COLORCD -gOM AN, IS THE MOTHER. The Coreasr and Other Offlean, tVearatag of Its Mra-erteas D-aappaaraaca, endeavor ta Aaceriala What Has BaeemeOHt. Tbe Qlaaa aa rat as Developed. The people of the Seventh ward, and ea ea peolally tha colored portion, are new axel, ted ever what la supposed te be a mysteri ous baby oaer. Mrs. Charlette Clark la a colored widow, who real dee at Ne. 847 North street. Bbe baa daughter by the name or Maggie, who la between 19 and 20 years or age. Within tbe pest few days tbe young woman gave birth te aeblld, the body el whleh has In aeme way disappeared. It waa welt kaewn by the neighbors that a ehlld was born In tbe beuse. It waa re. ported te have died and tba people began te talk tbe matter ever. The news came te tbe ears of Alderman Spurrier, who In formed the coroner. Yesterday afternoon these ofnelals with Dr. Belenlns and Con stable Klohellr, set eat te Investigate the case. They called at Mrs. Clark's house, but were unable Je find the child. They summoned a number of wltneseea and ex amined them atngly. Many oenQlctlog stories were told and the mystery baa aet been cleared up as yet. Among the wit nesses called waa Mrs, Jane Buokrem, a colored woman wbe attends women In con finement, and la ssld te have been at Clark'a when the ehlld was born or abertly after wards. When she waa first examtned by tbe coroner she dented being at Clark'a or seeing Maggie, Alderman Bpurrler tben began te question her very oleaely and she admitted being at Clark's en Sandsy morn ing ; while there sbe ssw the child, whleh wss lying en tbe bed, bnt she did net knew whether it was dead or alive. Itwasahewn by M(B. Jehn Mellen, a very respeetable colored woman, tbat Mrs. Buokrem told ht r tbe Clark girl bad been delivered of a child en Sunday. The girl who gave birth te tbe ehlld, and her mother, were both examined at length, and were somewhat mixed In their statements. Tbey said tbat tbe cbild was bera en Wedneadsy night and It waa dead. In answer te a queetlen as te hew the body had been dlspe el or, Mrs. Clark said that en Thursday morning a colere! man, named Heet, esme te her house ; she gave him 60 cents te tske tbe child away and bury it, and he burled It In her husband's grave In the colored people's cemetery. Mrs. Clark said tbat Hoef lived en West Vine street, and sbe never saw him before, When he took the body away from the beuse he went out the back way, and knocking a beard from the rear fence, passed through It Several ether witnesses were examined and conflicting stories were told. Tbe coroner, alderman and ethers set about te learn whether Mrs. Clark had told the truth and found tbat aha had net. Tbey made a search and round that no man by the name of Hoef resides en West Vine street, or In any etber part of tbe elty. Tbey visited the cemetery and leundr that tbe body bad net been burled where atated,ner was there any signs tbat there had been a recent burial In the cemetery. Frem the examination of Mrs. Clark'a rear lenoe, wbleh was made by tbe offleers, they oencludod tbat no beard had been removed from it,as bal been stated by Mrs. Clark, or the nails would have abewn IL Whether a serious crime has been com mitted in this case is net positively known. There Is no doubt that a ehlld was born, but It is by no means certain whether It waa dead or alive. It will be teen tbat the stories concerning the time of Its birth and tbe disposition of tbe body are very con cen con llietlng. Whether there la a motive for concealing tbe body or tbe child or lying about It remains te be seen. Tbe aet of assembly plainly says tbat It Is an offense te conceal tbe body of an Illegitimate child, whether It Is born dead or alive. There may net have been a crime In tbls case, but It bas eaused a great deal or talk, and there seems te be consid erable mystery tbat needs elearlng up. IJeMUallNew.
