A preliminary hearing was set for Teressa Penird, a 25-year-old Elmira woman charged with killing her 2-month-old son.
The hearing was set for 1 p.m. Tuesday in Elmira City Court.
Chemung County Public Defender Nancy Eraca-Cornish was assigned to Penird, who is being held in Chemung County Jail on second-degree murder charges without bail.
About 3 a.m. Friday, Elmira police, fire and Erway ambulance personnel were sent to 438 Broadway on a report of an unresponsive child.
The child, identified as Tysere Boles, was taken to Arnot Ogden Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The subsequent investigation led police to Penird's home at 429 Balsam St., where they interviewed the infant's father, who has not been identified, and Penird's two elementary school-aged children.
As a result of the investigation, Penird was charged in the infant's death.
Chemung County District Attorney John Trice said there was no telephone at the Balsam Street home, so the infant's father took the child to its grandmother's home on Broadway to call the 911 emergency line.
At this time, Trice said, Penird is the only suspect in the case.
He also said police and his office are awaiting the results of the autopsy, scheduled for Saturday in Rochester, and smothering is one cause of death being investigated.
