VERDICT IN BABY CASE
Child Born to Domestic Died Because It Was Denied Proper Attention, Jury Agrees
The child born on July 21, last, to Miss Hilda Amspacher, 19 years old, as domestic, which was later found dead in a trunk at the home of Mr. and. Mrs. C. Robert Kopp 151 South Pine street (sic) by whom was employed as a domestic, came to its death owing to the lack of proper attention.

The nurse told of her assignment to the case and stated that the girl in the course of a conversation, stated that she had no idea of what would happen to a newly-born babe if it did not receive proper attention at birth. Dr. Ellis gave the result of the autopsy. Detective White, who questioned the girl at the request of the district attorney's office following the finding of the body, gave the result of his investigation and stated that the girl declared she did not know that her failure to properly act in the matter caused the child's death. Dr. Spangler told of being called to the aid of the girl and the services which he rendered after it was learned that she had given birth. Undertaker Koller prepared the body for burial and testified to that effect.
The girl will have to answer to a charge of concealing the birth of a child born out of wedlock.
