WATERLOO, Iowa, August 9.—The body of 6-year-old Nichol aharies, who was thrown into Cedar River Thursday by his stepmother, Mrs. Marie Maharies, was taken from the river today. The woman has con- fessed and faces a charge of murder. Police were at the point of discard- ing the woman's story that she “hated the boy and wanted to hang for his death” when a river crew discovered the body. The authorities had regarded Mrs. Maharies as demented since she first told them of the killing. Mrs. Maharies told police she had sought carefully for a place where the water would be deep enough to drown the lad, then lured the boy away from the bank, and gave the thrust that sent him to death, her confession relate: BARTSCH.

The mystery of matherhood demonstrated again as the tramp mother cat proudly meowed as she cared for her litter, nestling among supplies kept in a portion of the big safe, The cat for several days had been observed in the vicinity of the news- paper building, and one friend of felines had gone to the trouble of re- moving her from beneath the wheels of a parked automobile, where she had gone to rest from the intense heat.
