Y, March 10.—While & crowded ' courtroom _ listened . with breathless atténtion, Mrs. Edith Mel- ber sat apparently unmoved today when Chief of Police Quigley of R chester testified how the accused Wo man confessed to killlng her 5-year- old ¢hild by pouring _carbolic acid down his throat. Counsel Made Claim cf “Police Co- ercion.” Her counsel endeavored to prevent the admission of the account of the confession, contending that the police obtained it/ by coercion, but . Justice Howard told the chief to proceed Quigley- testiffed as follows: “On_the Friday previous to the day ‘of her arrest she took the child, boarded a car and went {from Schej ectady to- Albany. Leaving the car, she went to an institution on Lal street.. ¥ was then apout five o'clock. Institution Would Not Take Child. “She asked the young woman if they would réceive the child there and was t0ld. that she needed authority from the main office. The young woman telephoned and told Mrs, Melber that she was not able to get the main office and that she eould not take the child. “Then she left the institution and walked toward the center of the efty. On_the way she entered a drug store and purchased ten cents’ worth ofécar- bolie acid. The child was in the store with her. Then she went to the place where the body was found.

The prosecution called the matron and assistant matron of the home -where the boy confin county charity officers, relatives of t. dead child, the,Rochester officers who arrested the woman, and others, to place - positive proof of the boy's death before the jury. The Line of Defense. The defense in the cross examina- tion 0of each witness endeavored to show that Mrs. Melber led a life which made it practically impossible for her reason to remain intact; that her rel- atives_left her alone in times of trou- ble; that she tried repeatedly to have her boy taken care of in some institu- ti‘;!‘n and that she was not fairly treat- e Women's Clothes Torn in Crush.
