ABANDONED BABY, But Mrs. Eva Netty Did So Only After Countless Struggles — Deserted by Heartless Husband—Is in Jail in De- fault of $1,000 Bonds. All of the mystery surrounding the leaving of a baby boy on the lawn in front of the Addie Straight house in ‘Westfield Wednesday night was clear- ed up Friday when Mrs. Eva Netty, 20. was arrested in Providence, charged with abandoning the child. She made no attempt to deny that she was the guflty mother of the week old baby and readily consented to return to Daniel- son with Constable Lewis S. Barstow of Dayville, who went after her Fri- de.y morning. Inspector Ahern of the Providence police and State Constable H. B. Hayden of Rockland, R. L, ac- ( companied Constable Barstow. Before Judge Back in the town court Friday evening Mrs. Metty waived ex- amination and was bound over to the superior court. In default of a bond of $1,000 she was taken to the jail at Brooklyn to remain until May. ‘The chain of events leading up to the abandonment of the infant, as toid by the sorrowing little mother, make up a pathetic story. It includes the heartless betrayel of the young woman by a traveling salesman when she was alone and friendless in a strange city, a subsequent series of the hardest trials that life inflicts, and finally re- buffed and duiven to despair by all who might have given aid to an unfortunate being. It became the choice of an alternate that has led to a prison cell Briedty, the story as told by Mrs. Metty is as follows: Deserted here in Danielson by her husband, Raoul Met- ty, without money or means of sup— port, she went to Providence last June see! g an opportunity to earn a liv- ing. She knew no one there and, dis- appointed in her search for employ- ment and eeated in the rafiroad station on the night of her arrival, discour- aged, and without a place to lay her head, readily accepted the kindly offer of a_drummer’s hospitality who inter- ested himself In her loneliness. The next morning he left her and she has not seen nor heard of him since. Finally she secured e place and has worked steadily since, never earning more than $6 a week. Of the amount $1.50 weekly went to pay room rent in a squalid quarter of the city and $2 more for a meal ticket which must last her a full week. At all times gince, she says, she has led a moral life. Re- cently she has been employed In Spalding’s plaster store on Westmin- ster street, giving up just before the baby was born on March 23. The day afier the birth she got up and having previously been refused aid at various institutions, she being advised to re- turn to her home state (Connecticut), pondered over her plight for a few days and at last decided upon a course of actton. She left Providence Wednes- day night and reaching Danielson at 9.30 left the baby on the lawn in Westfield. She spent the night at the home of her uncle, Thomas Adams, who lives just across the street from where she abandoned the child, and on ‘Thursday returned to Providence and resumed her place in the store where ah;hwas arrested. b e was weak, crying, and apparent. Iy heart-broken Friday night, and said that she had deserted the baby in the hope that it would find a better home than she could provide for it. Before ::::rla;ad M;:.

Hale, who committed sui- cide at his home in Woonsocket, and who will be buried today (Saturday) in Franklin, Mass., was well known in Putnam and his tragic death has proy- ed a shock to friends in this city. According to the press reports of the happening, Hale cut his throat while suffering from an unbalanced mind. The deed was committeed in the bedroom of his home about 4.30 Thursday morning. Mrs. Hale strug- gled with her husband, trying to pre- vent the rash act, but she was pow- erless against the strength of the man. ~When Hale drew the knife across his throat he severed the jugu- lar vein, windpipe and carotoid artery and soon fell to the floor in a pool of blood. Hale died within a few min- utes. The deceased was a well known rail- road man and had been in the employ of the N, Y, N. H. & H . R. R. Co. ever since he had been able to work.
