THE LOWER COLUMBIA PRICE FIVE CENTS BABY'S FATE Fifth Trial to Determine Parent CHILD FOUR YEARS OLD U. S. Court of Appeals at Minne apolis Will Decide Case in Few Days BORN IN ST. LOUIS HOSPITAL Hospital Matron Stole Infant From Its Mother's Sick Bed, and Substi tuted Dead Child Selling the Child to Baby Incubator Company. CHICAGO, May 22.-Fate of the famous incubator baby of the St Louis World's Fair, will be decided in a few days by the United- States Court of Appeals at Minneapolis. The decision will determine finally whether the baby shall belong to its real mother or to the woman who adopted it Four courts already have attempted to decide this question. An Illinois Circuit Court decided the child belonged to its real mother. The Illinois Supreme Court reversed this decision and gave the baby to its faster parent. A district court in Kansas decided the little one belong ed to its adopted mother. The Kan sas Supreme Court gave it back to its real mother. At present, under the aegis of the Kansas upper court, the real mother and child are living together at Sedan, Kas. The incubator baby, now grown to a pretty girl of four years, was born in a St. Louis hospital, February 15, 1904. While the mother, Mrs. Char lotte Thompson Bleakley, lay ill, the hospital matron stole the baby and sold it to the Baby Incubator Com pany of the World's Fair. A dead baby born in the hospital, it is al leged, to Edith Stanley, an actress, was substituted. Mrs. Bleakley w3 told her baby had died. The baby in the incubator thrived and Mrs. Jas. J. Barclay, a wealthy woman of Buffalo, decided to adopt it Mrs. Bleakley signed a deed waiv ing all claims to the incubator baby. She was convinced it was another child. But Mrs. Bleakley became suspic ious finally. She went to the St. Louis Hospital, where the matron ad mitted the incubator baby was the child born to Mrs. Bleakley. When she learned the real mother had come to claim her off-spring, Mrs. Barclay fled, it is said, with the infant from St. Louis. She was halt ed at Rock Island by a warrant charging her with kidnapping. The Rock Island restored the baby to Mrs. Bleakley who took it to Law rence, Kas. After appealing the case in the Illinois Court, Mrs. Barclay went to Lawrence and began action to regain possession of the child. Judge Smart of the District Court (Continued on page 4) Ml INCUBATOR
