Death From A Cat

The people of South Englewood are on a still hunt after the cats in the neighborhood of that village, and one large Maltese in particular is doomed to an untünely end. That animal, the property of Bernard Schram and his wife, killed their five months old child Saturday night, and half the residente of the village believe the feline sucked the inf ant's breath f rom its body. The Schrams reside on Vincermes road, between Eighty-seventh and Eighty-ninth streets. They retired at the usual hour Saturday night, leaving the baby in the eradle at their bedside. They were awakened during the night by the child's labored breathing, followed by a piteous, stiüed moan. As Mr. Schram aróse and struck a light the large house cat leaped from the eradle and escaped through the door. The infant was lying still, with its little hand clenched and its face blue from suffocation. Dr. Talhnan was hastily summoned, but pronotinced the child dead. He said that suffocation was the cause, and that the cat, attracted by the warmth of the child's bod)', probably lay down on the baby's face and smothered it. -
