WOMAN CONFESSES TO MURDERING HER CHILD


Fergus Falls Woman Arrested By Authorities at Fargo


Fargo.—Charged with killing her two weeks old illegitimate child, Olga Stansrud, of Fergus Falls, Minn., is in the custody of officials here, who say she has confessed. She is 35 years old, single, and the daughter of an Ottertail county farmer.

She is said to have come here and made arrangements to leave the child at a receiving home. After remaining there one night it is alleged she went out for a walk, took the child to a field just out of town, poured carbolic acid down its throat and then buried the body in a heap of refuse.

An attorney has been named to defend the woman.
