A Married wsnal Bsrrsws \ Baby
ard Tells Her Hubbard it IL Her
rOwn.
In tho st. Louis Democrat, Of the
2Oth, we find the following concerning
a wealthy gentleman Of Kansas City.
Mayhap some of Il readers can tell
us who he Is
A widow lady, of first-rate educa-
ton and rare beauty, the mother Of a
child several years Of age, married q
wealthy gentleman Of Kansas City.
They apparently lived together, but
no children blessed their union. More
than a year ago the lady came to this
city, and boarded at different hotels
and houses, moving in good
society, and conducting herself In such
a manner that no scandal gave utter
ance against her fair fame. Her hus-
band supplied her regularly with
money, and she corresponded with him
In affectionate terms. About q year
ago she wrote to her husband that she
would, In due time, make him the
father Of an infant, and she requested
an addition to the usual remittance,
for extra expense. The funds were
promptly forwarded. After the lapse
Of the usual time she wrote that the
child was born. and that additional
funds were needed to pay for nursing,
etc. He was proud to hear that ne was
q father, and sent his wife more liberal
remittances.
After q while the husband urged his
wife to return home; but she refused,
and finding that she did not intend to
live with him, he procured q divorce
on the ground of desertion. The wife
did not defend her suit, but left for
New York. During her stay In the
city she was visited by Judge Holt, Of
Kentucky, who tooka deep intecest In
her affairs.
Now comes the colored nurse, and
sends in a bill to the divorced husband,
amounting to some $4,000, for nursing
and taking care of his child. He re-
fuses to pay the bill, for the reaso that
he does not believe the child to be either
his or his wife's, but a bogus baby
palmed off upon him rs their offspring.
Dispositions have been taken, and the
case will come before tho Circuit Court.
1t Is alleged and substantiated by reli-
able witnesses that the lady went to a
midwife and asked her to procure an
infant for her; that the midwife went
to the City Hospital, and finding there
a poor woman who had recently given
birth to n child, informed the lady Of
of the fact, add the mother made her a
gift Of the child, and she employed the
Colored woman to nurse 1t.
These are the salient points In the
singular case, but Of course there may
be others even more mysterious which
have not come to the surface. The
scrutiny of the law may develop the
why and the wherefore Of the lady's
conduct, and reveal her motive In
adopting another woman's child as her
own.
