She is charged with cruelly treating her three year old step-daughter, a very delicate little child. Among other things it is alleged that she made the little one stand close to a fire until its little body was horribly burned. The prosecution was conducted by District Atorney Ensworth and A. S. Heck, the attorney for the Commonwealth Humane Society, while the defendant was represented by Attorney A. N. Crandall. The prosecution was instituted by Mrs. Hattie Beadle, one of the officers of the Humane Society. Several witnesses testified to the horrible burning which the child received and to other unkind acts of the defendant. For the defense, several ladies testified that they had often seen the little child in (the) charge of her step-mother but had never seen any evidence of un-kindness. Dr. Gorman testified to the cruel manner in which the child had been burned. Mrs. Marvin in her own behalf explained that she had the child stand before the fire to dry herself for the purpose of breaking her of the habit of wetting her clothes. After the hearing it was agreed between the parties that the custody of the child be turned over to its grand-mother Mrs. George Schenck, where it will no doubt be tenderly cared for hereafter. It may he that there will be no further prosecution of Mrs. Marvin, but this phase of the case has not been entirely settled yet, The Humane Society is not desirous of persecuting any one but its aim is to put a stop to cruelty wherever it exists and whoever may be guilty of it, and in this laudible object, it certainly should have the hearty support of the community. Attorney John F, Stone and John M. Clark, the well known merchant became Mrs. Marvin's sureties. Attorney John F. Stone heard much of the testimony in the case and after consenting to the signing of the defendant's bail bond, he frankly told her that while he did not want to see her go to jail, he had no sympathy with her in this case and that he would lend his influence and his money toward having the child taken away from her. Mrs. Marvin replied that they could have the child if they wanted it; that it would be a relief to get rid of it, but insisted that for her husband's sake she had taken the child and had given it the best and kindest care she could. This case attracted wide spread attention among the neighbors ot those concerned and Justice Olmsted's court room was crowded throughout the hearing. Mrs. Marvin, although she has been married some time, is still less than twenty and some consideration should be given her lack of experience.
