Irma Twiss, 32-year-old nurse, of 355 West Fifty-first Street, who killed a twenty-hour-old baby entrusted to her care in the Bronx Maternity and Woman’s Hospital, 165th Street and the Grand Concourse, the Bronx, on Feb. 8 was sentenced yesterday in Bronx County Court to five to twenty years in the Bedford State Prison. She pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree. Miss Twiss gave several drops of tincture of laudanum to the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Castro Valle of 1269 Grand Concourse, killing the infant. She also gave a few drops to the four-day-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Fantagone of 49 East 144th Street, the Bronx, but the baby recovered. She admitted that she gave the drops to the babies in an effort to quiet them because their cries made her nervous.
