CHARGED WITH KILLING BABY Following the finding of the body of a newly -born babe in a bush be- tween Leadbury and Brussels, Gladys and Doris Neable, aged 17 and 14, respectively, of Grey Township, were jointly charged with murder in Gode- rich on Friday last. The specific charge is that on the 23rd day of Mnrch they did murder an unnamed child of Gladys Neable. The younger of the two gins is con- fined to the home of her, parents un- der quarantine for measles and could nor be brought for hearing. Gladys Neable, however, appeared before Magistrate Reid on Friday on the charge of murder, and op the request of Crown Attorney. Seager, who ask- ed for time to get further informa- tion on the charge, was remanded until May 12th. A post-mortem was held by Doctors Ross and Mackay in Seaforth, where the body was taken Thursday even- ing. An inquest was called and a jury empaneled to inquire into the death. Members of the jury viewed the remains and held a preliminary inquest before adjourning for a week to allow the crown sufficient time to secure evidence. The authorities suspect the child was slain by one or both of the sisters and- the body hidden under a stump in an adjoin- ing field. Provincial Constable White - sides is in charge of the case. Gladys Neable, on receiving her re- mand, was taken to the county jail. ,She did not seem to realize the ser- iousness of her position nor the crime with which she was charged. The parents are prominent resi- dents of Grey Township. AILSA CRAIG BUSINESS SECTION DESTROYED BY FIRE' Children playing with firecrackers h shed at the rear of White & near a May's dry goods and grocery store, on Main Street, Ailsa Craig, Monday af- ternoon, started a fire that wiped sot both sides of the street in the heart of the business section ,of the. Ailsa Craig Village, destroyed ten business places with a loss of perhaps $100,000, lift six families homeless, and for a time threatened the destruction of. the whole community. • Reeve Morgan appealed to Mayor G, A. Wenige, of London, for help from the London fire department, say- ing that the fire was eating into a row of stores in the vicinity of the White & May dtructure on the south side of Main Street, and that the local hand pump and bucket brigade was powerless to check the flames that lashed across the old frame skating rink and swiftly licked up the stores on both sides of the street. Ella Dorman, village telephone oper- ator, stayed at her post till the ex- change caught fire around her and the flames breaking the connections forc- ed her to give up the work of appeal- ing for aid to neighboring villages. London sent a new. motor-driden high- pressure pump with Chief Aitken and a crew of six men, who reached the burning village after a twenty-five mile run in thirty-five minutes. In the meantime the Parkhill hose reel was towed down by a motor truck and fifty permanent firemen and , volunteers'yomed in the fight beside I the villagers.
