Woman Charged in Infant Abandonment Case in Pittston
A 20 year old Polish domestic, Eligabeth Wasalleff ekie, was arrested in Pittston and held after a hearing for abandoning a male infant near the Diamond reservoir on August 20. The child died at St Josephs Found ling Home on September 10. Police traced the mother from the West Side via Kingston and Shickshinny to Pittston. She admits the charge and says the father may have been killed in the mines, possibly in the Twin Shaft disaster. The hearing occurred before Alderman Howe and she was committed to county jail as the offense is not bailable.
