INCUBATOR BABY'S FATE
(Continued from page 1)
then decided the adoption was legal
and gave the real mother six hours
in which to surrender the baby.
While a deputy sheriff waited in the
Bleakley home Mrs. Bleakly slipped
out a back way with the child in her
arms and caught an express train.
By means of a bogus arrest by a
bogus officer ,it is alleged, she had
herself conducted safely past pursuit
through Kansas and Missouri into
Illinois, where the circuit court had
recognized the validity of her claim.
For several months she and her child
lived happily at Rock Island until
the supreme court returned the child
to Mrs. Barclay.
Meanwhile an appeal had been
taken in Kansas and the supreme
court of that state had upheld the
claims of the real mother. Mrs. Bleak-
ley fled in disguise back to Kansas,
where she now lives. Mrs. Barclay
has spent $50,000 in her fight for the
baby. She calls the child Dorothy
Edith Barclay. Its real mother, who
is poor, has spent $5000 in defending
her claims. She knows the child as
Marian Roberta Bleakley.
Several famous Kansas lawyers
have handled Mrs. Bleakley's case
free of charge. About $3500 has been
contributed to help her by public sub
scription.

HOLMES' TRAGEDY
Body Was Found in a Down
Town Alley
THE POLICE STILL BAFFLED
Solution of Mystery, Will Disclose
it is Believed, the Operations ol
Experts Was Last Seen Shortly
After Midnight.
CHICAGO, May 22,-Solution of
the mystery surrounding the murder
of Robert P. Holmes, purchasing
agent the the Commonwealth Edison
Electric Company, whose dead body
was found in a downtown alley early
yesterday will disclose, it is believed,
the operations of experts in crime.
That the killing and robbing of
Holmes was not the work of ordinary
thugs, but was perpetrated by men
who probably mingled with their
victim's friends at the Auditorium,
represented themselves to be dele
gates to the Electrical Convention and
then followed him as he left the hotel,
police authorities agreed after work
ing all day on the tragedy.
Holmes is known to have left the
hotel 15 or 20 minutes after midnight.
Just before departing he told friends
he thought he would get a cab and be
driven home. Working on the theory
that Holmes' murderers got him into
a cab, slugged him into unconscious
ness, and then threw his body into a
dark corner as the vehicle was driven
through the alley, patrolmen and de
tectives were last detailed to conduct
a thorbugh search for clues among
downtown cab drivers and to search
leading hotels for suspicious char
acters. Kidney complaint kills more people
than any other disease. This is due to
the disease being so insidious that it
gets a good hold on the system before
it is recognized. Foley's Kidney Cure
will prevent the development of fatal
disease if taken in time.
