While a deputy sheriff waited in the
Bleakley home Mrs. Bleakly slipped
out a back way with the child in her
arms and caught an express train.
By means OF a bogus arrest by a
bogus officer it is alleged, she had
herself conducted safely past pursuit
through Kansas and Missouri into
Illinois, where the circuit court had
recognized the validity OF her claim.
For several months she and her child
lived happily at Rock Island until
the supreme court returned the child
to Mrs. Barclay.
Meanwhile an appeal had been
taken in Kansas and the supreme
court Of that state had upheld the
claims Of the real mother Mrs. Bleak
ley fed in disguise back to Kansas,
where she now lives. Mrs. Barclay
has spent $4,000 in her fight for the
baby. She calls the child Dorothy
Edith Barclay. Its real mother, who
is poor, has spent $4,000 in defending
her claims. She knows the child as
Marian Roberta Bleakley.
Several famous Kansas lawyers
have handled Mrs. Bleakley's case
free of charge. About $500 has beer
contributed to help her by public sub.
scription.
