Two email boys whil? playing yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, near Rocky branch, a amall stream which runs in the southern part of the city, just outside the corporate limits, made a gruesome discovery. The body of a male infant was seen lying in the shallnwR near nnenf the hanks. The coroner and the officers of the law were 6ummoDed aud went at once to the scene. A thorough investigation wa9 made and Lou Spradley, a joung woman of about 21 years of age, was closely questioned. The girl told several versions of the affair. She had become the mother of a child on Friday night, it is alleged, and it was said yesterday that she had confessed that it was her infant which was found in the branch.
