Wisconsin Supreme Court March 19, 1907 (Heubner v. State)

Winslow, J.

The plaintiff in error was prosecuted upon the charge of murdering her newly-born bastard child. It appeared that the child was found dead in an outbuilding or henhouse on the premises of the accused where the delivery had taken place a few hours previously, with a cloth or rag wrapped several times around its neck and another rag stuffed in its mouth.
