Russia:

Fresh Troops Brought From Siberia Beat Back Nazis Near Leningrad

MOSCOW, Feb. 9 (U. P.).—Russian cavalrymen and fresh infantry forces brought from Siberia, the Ural mountains and Caucasia have driven a deep wedge into the German lines around Leningrad and are fighting their way toward the city, dispatches asserted today. It was reported here that dozens of towns and villages in the Leningrad defense area had been liberated during the week-end, and that the German 8ist infantry division, brought from France, was put into the lines in an attempt to stop the

The Russians retorted by throwing their heaviest tanks into action. It was understood that the German grip on Leningrad had been relaxed so greatly that it was now possible to send truck caravans into the city by roundabout routes, through forests and over snowcovered fields. The newspaper Red Star reported that the Germans had suffered such heavy artillery losses since the start of the war that they were now unable to put heavy fire concentration on the Russian lines. Low ammunition stocks had reduced firing

NURSE HELD IN BABY POISONING

PURSE GRABBER

T0 TAXPAYERS HERE

N. Y. Hospital.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (U. P)— Medical science studied today “the snapped mind” of one of its own practioners—an “angel in white” who betrayed her trust by poisoning two infants in a hospital nursery. Though Nurse Irma Twiss Epstein was charged formally with homicide because one of the infants died, authorities indicated that hers was not a case for the courts, but for the science in which she was so proficient that her superiors still called her “the best nurse who ever entered a sick room.” Own Baby Died

In 1940 Mrs. Epstein retired from her profession—after years of caring for babies—to have a baby of her own. It died at birth. A few weeks later she took an overdose of sleeping tablets and she spent four days in the psychopathic ward of Bellevue Hospital. Yesterday, she was alone in the nursery of the Bronx Maternity Hospital. Six babies were in her charge. Two were crying. She took an eye dropper and a small bottle from a chest and put several drops of tincture of opium into each mouth. Tincture of opium usually is diluted in propartions of 100 to one. One baby only 20 hours old died. Mrs. Epstein’s story to police was incoherent and contradictory. Though in rational moments she repeated over and over, “My mind snapped . . . my mind snapped.” She was lodged in the Bronx Jail and will be arraigned Wednesday on a charge of homicide.
