FULL TEXT: Butte, Mont. March 10. – Mrs. Mary Pushman was today found guilty of manslaughter for the murder of her infant child. The crime is one of the most inhuman on record.
The
unnatural mother gave the babe pins with its liquid food, stuck pins in its
tongue and tortured it to death.
The
trial lasted two weeks. Much expert testimony on insanity was adduced, insanity
being set up for the woman's defense. Mrs. Pushman is 18 years of age. She will
be sentenced next week.
