FULL TEXT: Christiana, Sweden [sic, should read "Norway"], May 9. – As a result of a judicial inquiry into a baby-farming sensation a charge has been made against three women named Olsen, Johannsen and Andrasen and of having killed twenty-seven children since last summer.
Many of the children were suffocated, while others were starved to death.
The mothers belong to all classes of society.
