Child Placed on a Hot Stove.

John Barrus, a farmer living near McGill, Paulding county, Ohio, is under arrest for terribly beating his 18-month-old stepson, and then placing the child on a red-hot stove. Barrus denies the stove incident, but admits the beating, which raised great welts. The neighbors are terribly aroused.
