During the inquest and subsequent trial, Perth's citizens were horrified to learn that at least thirty-seven infants had died in Mitchell's care in the previous six years. It became clear that she had been running a 'baby farm', making a profit out of caring for the children of single mothers and other 'unfortunate women'. But there was more to the story than the court case or the newspapers revealed. This true crime book looks at events leading up to the trial, and follows the lives of the key players in the tragedy: Alice Mitchell, health inspector Harriet Lenihan and children's specialist Dr Edward Officer. 650 0 $a Infanticide $z Perth (W.A.) $z Perth (W.A.) $x History. 650 0 $a Women murderers $z Perth (W.A.) $z Perth (W.A.) 650 0 $a Trials (Infanticide) $z Perth (W.A.) $z Perth (W.A.) 651 0 $a Perth (W.A.) $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Infanticide. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972084 650 7 $a Trials (Infanticide) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156353 650 7 $a Women murderers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178169 651 7 $a Western Australia $z Perth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204377 650 7 $a True crime. $2 thema 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 653 $a Australian history 653 $a Australian 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919985 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021014619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14BECB02177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
