Witnesses: Sydney MUMFORD
Witness statements: Witness MUMFORD stated that Mary Ann WEATHERFORD went to 
New York last Thursday and left a key with her [MUMFORD] to take care of her 
things. MUMFORD went to her room on Friday to "straten" up, and found the baby 
under the iron bedstead in a "Shampane" basket. MUMFORD stated WEATHERFORD 
came down last spring on Friday evening & said she had an "Ager". She came 
down on Saturday but she was sick for a week & has not been sick since. 
MUMFORD thought she was in a "Delecet" state, but she said she was not. 
MUMFORD thought she looked "smoller" when she got up than she did when she 
went to bed.
Inquest verdict: Inquest held 4 April 1872. Verdict: Believe it to be the body 
of a child born nearly one year ago, and that it was the child of Mary Ann 
WEATHERFORD. The body was so decayed that the jury could not come to the cause 
of its death.
