litigation, relinquishing all rights -
he baby, on condition that Mrs.
Bleakely does not prosecute the charge
If kidnapping and will allow Mrs. Il IT.
'lay to assist in the support of the

The charge is based on an effort Of
s. Mrs. Barclay and the Kansas City Of
iicer to forcibly obtain the baby They
ire said to have broken into the
i3ieakely home, and were about to de
part with the child, when citizens III.
erfered. This information is given
