1(ttIIitIiMore about tlie m^^^|kftltf,On Thursday Inst tlio was taken ii) and carried III,,for identification; and to gt^mi facts of the case, we went along/ Wo find we were mistaken some in the location^ names, «fce., as given Iasi week. These nre the fuels: The* mother's name it Ann Martin; she is about eighteen year* old ♦ has lived at Wilmington. IN., nearly alrlher life ; her mother died when s^e wasthree months old. leaving her and other children under the care of their father, whlt;» neglected t’lem, and forced them to take eare of themselves. The young mother snvs the father of her child Is%Weslev Kav, a man who has a wife and* * *three children. Dr. Keith, of Monet*, went to a man by the name of Lashley, living in Monee township, and told him he had a patient that lie washed him to hoard, and in July Mr. Ray brought herto Lfediley’s and left her, where idte hasMnce leslded. The child was one month and tv,-1* days old when taken away, which was the 11th of October. Between 3 and i o'clock p. m. of that day, D*\ Keith and a man by the name oft»eo, a bmfhlt;*r in law to Hay, came and got the child; told the mother that liny had seat thlt;*m for it; that he had found a good place for the child, below Man tele* Sl-uion, where it would be well eared for, and where its mother could see it, Sin* did not want the in to take it, but finally consented. Tliev told Mrs, La*h-h*v to '»ei the child readv. The Doctor * * « took out a pochet handkerchief, and tied U oa the chihl’s head, which, *di«? says, wax like ihe piece fouud around its neck. The Dr. said he had a large shawl that he had brought on purpose to wrap the child in to keep it warm; they ihen took the child and started. Hut instead of go-iag toward Mautcuo, they went toward Cedar L ike. Tney had a span of small horses, mu- a lt;_rav and the other a dark colot i ll one, rind a light buggy, and were sci *i four or five miles this side of where t!o*y siaried, going toward the Lake. Thev were passing where aclt;*mpary of men had been at work on a barn, and one of the men had got hurt ; the Dr* was hailed, and asked to go in and attend to the man, but said he could not as he was in a hurry—the man Gee was in the bnggv with him at the time. This is as far as they could give any information concerning the child, except that ihe mo* iher and Mr*. Lashlev identified it ns■ m► oon a* they snv it, not only by its fea tures, hut by marks that had not been* *discovered by the Coroner or wilnesse* at th^ inquest. The three men are now in iail at »foliet. The examination will* take place next Monday. They have securer! the ablest counsel the County affords, for which they agree to pay $1,* 000. The greatest point will be as to which State the murder was committed jii. The Circuit Court sits at Joliet in December, and if tried ill that State, it will more than likely come off at that time.KIIl\*Iitlt;tlt;iIwJiiiiift
