FULL TEXT: London, Sept. 17. – A sensation has been caused
at Manchester to-day by the discovery of what appears to be a methodical system
of wholesale child murder and perhaps of the murder of adults. Mary Ann Hall, a
midwife, has been arrested on the charge of concealing the birth of a child. It
appears that the Hall woman was about to throw the corpse of an infant into the
canal when a person who saw her called the attention of the police. The Hall
woman was arrested. The police searched her house and there they found a bloody
trunk, which had evidently contained one or more bodies. They also found
buckets of lime and jars of chemicals, sufficient for the wholesale disposal of
bodies. There is no doubt that murders
have been committed at the house. The woman was arraigned by a magistrate
to-day and was remanded in order to enable the police to proceed with their
search for evidence.
