Charles Criswell of 705 South C
street again the central figure, has
thoroughly aroused the neighbor-
hood in which she lives.
Search for Mrs. Scott.
Two well-dressed young women
canvassed every house in the vicinity
of Mrs. Criswell's home on Thursday
in an effort to locate MRS Scott, 4"
to whom, they said, sister of one
of them had given her young baby.
They were unable to find anyone by
the name of Scott, but they called
on one women who directed them to
the Criswell house, telling them that
they might find the baby there.
Sister Gave Baby Away.
One of the young ladies, in ex-
PLANTATION of their story, stated that
her sister, who had had trouble with
her husband, decided to give her
child to woman who represented
herself as Mrs. Scott" After the
child had been taken from the mo-
ther, however. she became frantic
for it's return, and the two girls at
once set out to find Mrs. Scott.

On being directed to the Criswell
home, the women were unable to

A sensation was sprung in the
Baldie divorce case this morning
when the matter came up for hear

Huston and asked permission to file
an amended complaint. The COM

guilty of the crime of adultery and
names the time and states that the
crime was committed in the COM

fuses to allow her name to be mem
toned in connection with the case, is
close neighbor of Mrs. Criswell-s.
She can give no explanation for Mrs.
Criswell's last attempt to obtain a
baby.
Mrs. Criswell's Record.
Previous to this Mrs. Criswell has
had two baby affairs. One OF these
occurred last December, when the
woman adopted an infant from Sc
attle. Out of her action In this case
trouble arose which resulted In a
divorce between herself and her hus-
band. The child was later taken
back TO Seattle by Rev. Brown, who
had aided Mrs. Criswell in securing
1t.
Baby Left on Doorstep.
The most sensational mystery of
all, howevere, came to light last
January, when an infant was left on
Mrs Criswell's doorstep. With the
deserted baby was left the following
note:
I'm this house my father dwells,
and when he looks upon my face he
dare not turn me away"
This occurrence caused widespread
talk and the police spent several
weeks in attempting to find the mo-
ther Of the child. They failed and
the case was dropped, and no one
seems TO know what became of tha
baby.
