The English Cuild-Murderess Expiates fier Crimes- London, June 10.—Mrs. Annie | Dyer, the baby farmer of Rudbig, who was arrested on March ‘on the of murdering many infants | is hanged ck this charge entrusted to her care, \ in Newgate prison at 9 o'ck morning. Mrs. Dyer wes one of the most extraordinary criminals of the age, a wholesale, cold-blooded murderess. | The police first hecame suspicious | of her and her son-in-law, Arthur E. Palmer, April, when the) bodies of a number of children ap- | parently strangled to death, — recovered from the river Thames, where they had been thrown, weight- ed down with bricks, ete. An inves- tigation led to the arrest of Mrs. Dyer and Palmer. The preliminary examination de- veloped a most horrifying condition of affairs. It was proved that since Christmas at least twenty children had been entrusted to Mrs. Dyers’ keeping, and of the number only| four were then living. Prior to Christmas many other children who had been placed in the woman's charge were unaccounted for, and admitted to have been murdered. A conservative estimate places the number of children killed at forty, but other estimates have it that as high as 100 children were either strangled or drowned by Mrs. Dyer. Mrs. Dyer and her son-in law, where they lived had a great reputa- tion for piety. Over the door of her home was a figure of Jesus Christ, beneath which was the inscription: “Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Mrs. Dyer bad been arrested upon four previous occasions, but some- how sbe not only managed to escape punishment, but succeeded in main- taining her reputation for piety. But in court the woman's nerve entirely deserted her. She had a dejected, early in Smiles. | Patient: Doctor, my eye is im-, proving, but Ican't keep anything on my stomach.

He thinks this is trouble, forgetting there are a thousand fish in the sea as good as were ever caught.

On May 21 Mis Dyer was indicted for murder and on the following day she was sentenced to death. In pri- son Mrs.Dyer made several attempts to commit suicide At Reading she tried to strangle herself with her shoe laces; some time later she tried to force a handkerchief down her throat, and upon another occasion she attempted to cut her wrist against a piece of iron.
