The Times, Friday, Feb 25, 1921; pg. 7; Issue 42654; col C Margate Baby's Death. £200 Paid For Adoption. The inquest was concluded at Margate yesterday on the body of a baby registered as Elinor Mary COOPER. The Childs's mother, Mrs Jessie HOLDEN of Broadstairs and Elinor Mary COOPER of Margate, by whom it was adopted, are under remand on a charge of supplying false information to the Deputy Registrar of Birth. Mrs HOLDEN, in evidence, said she got into communication with Mrs COOPER through a newspaper advertisement, and £200 was paid for the adoption of the child. The intended journey of the witness and her husband to Africa was the reason for entrusting the child to Mrs COOPER and they thought it would be properly looked after. The Deputy Coroner pointed out that Dr Webster, the Home Office expert, had reported that there was no trace of mineral poison in the internal organs of the child. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was due to blood poisoning, but that there was no evidence as to how it was caused. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
