COULDN’T PAY MILKMAN’S BILL; MOTHER 19, CREMATES BABY
Didn’t Know What to Do,” She Sobs to Police
Los Angeles, July 9 (UP) – Because she was “ashamed to face the milkman”
to whom she owed a three-week bill, Mrs. Josephine VALENTE, 19, burned
her eight-month-old son, Dominick, to death in his go-cart, she
confessed to police.
Mrs. VALENTE, held to-day on a murder charge, declared her husband,
Sabintino, 21, refused to give her money for the baby’s milk.
“I knew of nothing else to do,” she sobbed to police.
The young mother said she often tried to help by going to work but could
not find a job.
“And I couldn’t afford to put our boy in a nursery,” she explained.
“I new the milkman would leave us no milk, “Mrs. VALENTE related. “And
I got to wondering what I would do. So I got a match and threw it into
the baby’s carriage after I put him to sleep in it. Then I walked
around to the front of the house to talked with my mother-in-law until
somebody shouted fire. We ran to the go-cart, but when we got there,
Dominick was dead.”
VALENTE, employed a motion picture studio, insisted he had given his
wife $9 for groceries only yesterday morning.
“Do you need any money?” he asked his wife as she was led to her cell.
“Non of yours,” she replied.
Detective Lieutenant Fran CONDAFFER said a $375 insurance policy on the
baby’s life was issued recently.
The VALENTEs came to Los Angeles from New York two years ago.
