ACCUSE
MOTHER OF TORTURE . . . Police in south Chicago held the parents of
six-year-old Alice Velazquez, above, while they investigated charges made by
Alice's sister that her mother tortured the child. The sister, Conception, 14,
said that her mother held Alice against a hot stove, stabbed her with an ice
pick, placed her in chains, tied her to a washing machine, held a lighted match
to her lips and struck her on the head with a hammer. There are 12 children in
the family. A doctor examines Alice above.
