A HORRIBLE CASE
Gam abu, October 13
At the inquest held this morning upon the remains of the child found by the police, evidence was given that a woman named Sorgeson gave birth to a female child two months ago, and a mouth afterwards removed to another cottage, taking her two children with her. She remained at the latter about a week, and then went to Dunedin wi'h on’y one child, and told her friends that the other was with a woman named Scott at East Taiari. The child had disappeared so suddenly that the neighbors suspected foul play. Dr tradand's evidence was that the body had been mutilated so as to destroy the sexual organs to prevent identification. The inquest stands adjourned for a fortnight to give time for further investigation. The woman is still at large.
