MEDFORD SIAIE TRIBUNE, JOEDFORD, OREGON. TTEDNESDAY, JULY 18. 1935. PAGE FIVE E AFTER FIVE DAYS LOST JNTH1CKET Conner Tot Shows No Alarm ing Symptoms Asserts Hospital Report Kidnap ing Theory Is Discarded EABTVTEW, N. T.. July IB. (ff) A bulletin Issued by physicians at Graaslanda hospital today said that Baby Bobby Connor appeared to be stronger this morning. "Child's temperatur 00, pula 130, respiration 38," the bulletin read. "Child appears to be stronger this morning. Is quit restless. No alarm ing symptoms. Is receiving feedings of milk." Ktdnap Theory Falls. The kidnaping theory In th ease collapsed today. While the little curly-haired son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Connor lay seri ously 111 in a hospital, to which he was taken after being found yesterday In a bramble thicket near his home, federal agents and police announced their Investigations were ended. They were convinced, they said, that the 31-months-old Bobby, who dis appeared last Thursday, wasn't kid naped at all. All evidence showed, they declared, that he had toddled alone Into the wood ana had spent the lve days there. At the hospital it was determined that Bobby had eaten quantities of grass. Dr. Claude W. Munger said Sunday night's showers probably saved the baby from dying of thirst. Enouah rainwater would have entered tho pores of the skin to prevent com plete dehydration, he aatd. The physician pointed out further, in support of his theory, that Bobby had lam in the woods sine Thurs day, that the child's pink suit had been bleached almost white. Dr. Munger said a blood transfu sion would be given the child today. Bobby gained a pound and 13 ounces last night after being given a quart of glucose and water. He waa being fed by Injections. Physi cians said an attempt to feed the child normally might lessen his chances to live. At four-hour intervals he was given a spoonful of whisky and water.
