Heartsick Nurse
Faces Charges For
'Babynapping'
Auroa, 111. HP) A heart
sick nudse who abducted an
infant girl from a hospital
nursery Saturday faced a pre
liminary hearing on charges
that could send her to prison
for 20 years.
The 3-week-old baby, known
to Copley Hospital officials as
"Infant Smith" but to prac
tical nurse May Ann Pfeiffer
as "Elizabeth Ann," was sur
rended Friday, after 12 hours
of flight and seclusion.
Mrs. Pfeiffer, 44, and her
husband, Charles, 26, appar
ently were returning the child
to authorities when they were
intercepted at a police road
block. She was charged with
abduction of an infant, which
carries a maximum penalty of
20 years, and jailed overnight.
Again and again, Mrs. Pfeif
fer insisted that "God intend
ed me to have this baby."
She said she fell in love with
the girl "when it was 10 min
utes old" and said she always
gave it preferential care at
the hospital.
The stocky five foot nurse,
who has a grown son by a
previous marriage, recently
had been denied adoption of
another child because of her
age. From the time Elizabeth
Ann was put in her care, she
said she contacted hospital
authorities, the baby's mother,
a welfare worker, and a law
yer in hopes the child would
be awarded to .her.
