JURY EXONERATES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHILD'S MOTHER Mrs. Mosbach Not Guilty of Death of Babe Without Medical Attendance. |LITTLE GIRL HAD FAITH. Five-Year-Old Cathie Be- | lieved Science Would Cure Her, Mother Declares. That the failure of @ licensed physi- | Cathryne| clan to attend five-year-old Mosbach was a contributory cause of her death on Nov. 90 from diphtherta, but that her mother, a Christian Scien- tist, was not wilfully responsible, was the verdict returned this afternoon by @ jury, after an inquest into the child's death, conducted by Coroner Jacob Shongut of the Bronx. After the child's death at lier home, No. 2845 Bainbridge avenue, her mother placed under arrest on a charge of homicide. She admitted she had not called a physi- cian, but had given the child Christian Science treatment. The verdict of the Jury 8 follows: “We find death due to diphtheria, eased by failure to call in Heensed Physicians owing to the mother's igno: ance of the severe iliness of the child and we therefore find (he defendant not wilfully guilty, “We recommend that the District-At- requested with all diligenc 96 the cases against Christian Scl- in and, if the h persons 90 exislature of the be to lusion are not 4 practising, that the I State be appealed to, to enact such laws AND NEAR A COLLAPSE; | UNABLE TO MAKE SPEECH.

Mrs, Mosbach says the little girl had been {Il almost from infancy and that she always treated her according to the Christian Science faith, She de- clared the child, notwithstanding its years, knew a lot about Christian Science treatment and believed in its efficacy. The holding of the inquest has been delayed because another child in the Mosbach family also contracted diph- therla. It has since recovered. Dr. Curtin, the first witness, told of being called to the Mosbach home on the evening of the child's death, He found death had been caused by diph- theria, Reciting the conversation he then had with Mrs, Mosbaoh, the Cor- ouer's physician sald “Mrs, Mosbach firs: told me she did not disease i when I asked aid not ve in sueh dis eases as pneumonia and diphtuerla, ge Jadmitted she did.
