THE CASE OF ALLEGED INFANTICIDE.
The charge against the woman, Green, will be heard at the R.M. Court at Hawora, to-morrow. The Star says that for months past the police hare been making enquiries connected with' the mysterious disappearance of the infant. The mother of the child is a woman who passed herself as Emily Green or Emily Rector, but whose real name appeal’s to be Josephine Green. She was enceinte when she came to Hawera, and was servant for some months at Mrs O’Hanlon’s Railway Hotel. She was confined at Mrs Hughes’, and it is al'eged that some time after she obtained leave from Mrs O’Hanlon for three days, saying that some wealthy people in Wanganui were willing to adopt her child. She obtained the leave, but it is alleged that she did not go to Wanganui, nor even far from Hawera. At the end of three days, however, she returned to Mrs O’Hanlon’s and represented that the child had been adopted, but that she had brought its clothes back. Suspicions were, however, aroused, and the police, working quietly, have made every possible endeavour to trace the" child, but without success, it being about the second week in January that she obtained leave for three days from Mrs O’Hanlon.
