Supreme Court Justice Morschauser at Peekskill Tuesday sentenced Mrs. Clara MeCabe, of this city, to term of from five to ten years at Auburn prison for killing her day-old daughter by throwing the intant into the icy waters of the Hudson on Saturday evening. February 19th.

Mrs. McCabe was arrested here the following day on a coroner's warrant and taken back to Peekskill where the crime was committed for arraignment. Mra. McCabe, prior to the tragedy lived with her father. Peter Hoffman on the Violet Avenue Road.

Before leaving the city Mrs. McCabe confessed to the local police that she had committed the act in A fit of despondency over the life she leading and that as she didn't care what became of her she' was willing, to do anything. A little tag with the baby's name and number assigned to it at Bellevue Hospital -in New York was chance circumstance that led to the identification of the child and arrest of its mother. Shortly after nine o'clock Saturday evening. February 19, a colored boy who was sitting on the dock at Peekskill noticed something that looked like a small bundle floating on large cake of ice near the shore.

With the aid of a companion the two men got a pole and fished the ice close to the dock. One them reached down and picked the bundle. He imof, mediately saw that it was little baby, wrapped in several thicknesses of blanketing. He went to the police station and told of his discovery. Examination showed that the infant had died of exposure and freezing.

On little tag, fastened to the baby's wrist by an elastic band, was inscribed the words "MeCabe, Bellevue Hospital." On this clue the Peekskill police called Bellevue Hospital in New York City to learn more of the case. They found that a woman who had given her name as Clara McCabe. of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. been brought there two weeks ago on an ambulance call from the Grand Central depot.

As the train on which she was going to New York had pulled into the etation she had given birth to a child. The hospital authorities stated before discharge papers had been given her Mra. McCabe and her newly born daughter left the, Institution without notice. As soon as the Peekskill police learned this they municated with the local authorities. When It was found that such a party lived here a warrant was made out by Coroner J.

Russell Foshay of Westchester County charging Mrs. McCabe with having killed her child by exposure and freezing, and Officer Shay of the Peekskill Police Department was sent here to take. the woman back. In confessing 'her crime Mrs. MeCabe told a pitiful story of how she had thrown the child into the river off the wharf at Peekskill.

She said that she was so despondent in the hospital that she could stand it no longer. She made up her mind leave. She had $3 in her possession. When the nurse barge of her ward wasn't looking she took her baby and ran to the street. Taking a car she made at once for the Grand Central depot.

She took the first train out bound north up the Hudson River. After she was on it she found that it only went as far as Peekskill. That was shortly before seven o'clock. She found that the next' train for Poughkeepsie did not leave until after nine o'clock. When she left the train at Peekskill she crosed over the tracks and walked to the river front.

With only moment's hesitation she kissed her baby goodbye and hurled it Into the Hudson. She then walked back to the depot. Having plenty of time before her train left she decided then to pay visit to her sister, a Mrs. Hyde, who lived in the City of Peekskill, but finding no one home there she returnto the depot. She arrived here late and went at once to her home on VioAvenue, where she is living with Mr.

Hoffman and Mrs. Charles Jones. Sunday morning she telephoned her sister in Peekskill that she had called there the night; before; and she was sorry she hadn't her, but that she arrived home safely. When Officer Shay arrived in city he and Chief McCabe went at once to the Violet Avenue address. They found Mrs.

McCabe there with her three daughters. Her other children, five boys, it was found are in Joseph's Home in Peekskill. When Mrs. McCabe was told of the charge against her she at once confessed the crime. She said she didn't care what happened to her as she was nearly crazy from the effects of the life she was leading.

Only once did she break Into tears and that was when she was forced to say goodbye to her three daughters. It was a pathetic scene when her children hung close to her when she told them that she had to away, At police headquarters Mrs. McCabe told a complete story of the crime. She said that she left Poughkeepsie about two weeks ago. She told her relatives here that she was going to New York for treatment for varicose veins.
