From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 11, 1911:

“What threatened to be an ugly mystery, and what may still be either a legitimate act or a crime, stirred the authorities late Saturday afternoon. Children playing in Woodland Park discovered what they reported was the bodies of two dead babies. Frightened nearly into hysterics by their gruesome discover, they ran home crying to their parents. The latter notified the county attorney, and together with the coroner, that official went to the park for an investigation. One of the children led the officer to the spot where, half concealed by leaves in the ravine, was a box in which a baby’s body was wrapped in a fragment of a blanket. The babe appeared to have been about four and a half months old. How long it had been buried the coroner could not tell. Whether the discovery reveals a crime or merely a low maternal instinct, the authorities can only conjecture. While it is not a crime to so bury bodies of this character, it is alien to a sense of public decency.”
