Acknowledges Her Guilt. [Cincinnati Enquirer] Princeton I ml ,February ltl.—What will probably prove to be a case of attempted infanticide came to light yesterday. Fi ve input list ago Gordie Spore, a young woman of respectable parentage, was married to David C. Hanna, a dry goods clerk. About a month ago she became the mother ol a bouncing babe, llanua tel 1 her and ■ instituted divorce proceedings, since which she alleges the infant belongs to a railroad man. Yesterdav she called a physican, who found the child suffering from horrible burns in the mouth and throat, produced by carcolic acid, and in a critical condition. The mother acknowledges she had been using a solution of carbolic acid, but could not account for the child's infouries unless she had accidentally got some of the acid on her hands and communicated it to the child's fare. The supposition is that she tried to make away with the babe.
