Baby Buried Friday
Mother Fails In Attempt At
Suicide
About four o’clock Wednesday af
ternoon, Mrs. Wm. Magee, it is al
leged, picked up her ten-months-old
baby, Mildred Ruth, and carried her
to a galvanized iron stock water
trough behind the house. She is be
lieved to have climbed in with the
baby and wedged herself under water
beneath the supporting crossbeam in
the tank in an attempt to drown her
self and the child. Time and time
again her head came to the surface,
and finally she gave up the attempt
at suicide.
The baby all, this time was at the
bottom of the trough and dead when
she picked it out to carry to her hus
band who wa& working in the field
with his brother, George, and his mo
ther, Mrs. Sarah Magee, who was
walking in the field.
Her husband running towards her
was greeted with the words “I’ve
drowned our baby..”
The watertrough was five-and-one-
half feet long and two and one-half
feet in’ width and depth.
When efforts at.ithe house failed to
bring back the life* of the tiny infant,
the family physician, Dr. R. L. Stew
art, was called an| when he learned
of the nature of ttje death he immed
iately notified Coroner Dr. R. C. Red
mond.
An inquest was ordered and it was
formally opened on Thursday. The
jury is composed ‘of W. H. French
(foreman), Jack Mason, Harold Bu
chanan, Thos. R. Bennett, Clare-Ad
ams, Jas. S. Isard, Fred Carter, James
Carr and Roy Manuel, all of town.
Soon after the opening of the inquest,
when the jurymen Viewed the remains
an autopsy was performed by Dr. W.
A. Crawford and Dr. W. M. Connell.
The inquest was resumed here to-day
(Wednesday) at 10 a.m.
Mrs. Magee was taken to Goderich
on Wednesday evening soon after in
vestigation was made by provincial
police. Thursday morning she was
formally charged with murder in God
erich court and remanded to Huron
County jail for one week without
plea. She was not represented by
counsel and when she appeared her
face was lined with anxiety, possibly
remorse, but she endured the proceed
ings calmly and walked quietly with
officers to the police car to be return
ed to the jail.
The accused woman, aged 37 years,
who before her marriage in 1936 was
Ruby Rebecca Baird, and worked as
a domestic in a number of Wingham
homes, was a quiet hard working girl.
Although she was inclined to be
slightly nervous and at times high-
strung, she made an ideal employee.
The Magee farm, which is a pros
perous one on the Bluevale Road,
about two and one-half miles east of
Wingliam, is operated by the two
brothers, George and William. The
mother lives with them, and has been
with them since the death of her hus
band a number of years ago. Neigh
bors cannot understand the tragic
happening. ♦
This is the first murder charge pre
ferred 'in Huron County since 1913,
when Edward “Punk” Jardine was
convicted, sentenced and hanged.
The body of the drowned baby was
interred in the Wingham Cemetery
on Friday morning following a priv
ate service at the home.

BOYS’ TEAM TO RE
PRESENT HURON AT
PLOWING MATCH
At a recent meeting of the Huron
lowmen's Association which was held
in Brussels, the difoctors were of the
opinion that Huron County should be
represented at the International Plow
ing Match this fall by a team of three
boys who would compete in the In
ter-County competition for the Far
mer’s Magazilne trophy. This compe
tition is open to one team of three
boys from each county in the Pro
vince and members of the team must
not have reached their 20th birthday
by October 1st, 1938. Splendid cash
prizes are provided at the Interna
tional Match for contestants in the
Inter-County Competition. In all 15
cash prizes arc awarded to the rank
ing contestants, ranging from a first
prize of $40.00 to a 15th prize of $4.
The directors of the Huron Plow
men’s Association suggested that the
fairest way to select a team would be
to have interested boys compete at a
Junior Match, and the three highest
boys would be selected to represent
the county at the International match.
To look after the proposed Junior
Match the following committee was
appointed: Bert Hemingway, Brus
sels; Robert Michie, Brussels; R, L.
McDonald, Brussels; Gordon McGav-
in, Walton; Ian MacLeod, Clinton,
Prospective contestants are asked to
notify any member of the above men
tioned committee on or before Aug*
ust 15th, if they intend to compete at
the local Junior Match, The commit
tee hope that there will be a suffic
ient number of entries so that a Jun
ior Match may be Conducted and a
team selected to plow in the Inter*
County competition at the Interna**
tionat Plowing Match, which is being
held near Barrie, during the second
week in October.
