SLINGSBY BABY
A SUBSTITUTE

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal Wireless)
LONDON, Eng, Dec. 1.-THE house
of lords today added another chapter
to the sensational "Slingsby case"
involving two continents, when it re-
fused the appeal from the court of
appeals, without calling the respon-
dents, thus upholding the reversal of
the lower courts decision that little

child of Lieut.. and Mrs. c.. R. Slings

1t is now held that the child has
been proved to be the son of Lillian
Anderson. In the latest decision, the
authorities state that they regret the
pain which the decision must cause
"a gallant officer now serving his coun-
try"
This is one of the most noted cases
in legal annals and has been fought
out in American courts for the past
several years. The case arose over
charges that another baby was substi-
tuted for little Teddy" Slingsby, son
OF Lieut.. and Mrs. G. r. Slingsby and
heir to 100000 property of the Slings-
by family in Yorkshire, England. The
substitution was alleged to have been
made in San Francisco. The claim
was made that the real Slingsby baby,
which was born in San Francisco on
September I, 1910. died and that the
mother substituted another infant.
After the case had been thrashed
out in San Francisco, the evidence
was submitted to the probate court
in London, which on February 3, 1915,
decided that the present Slingsby
baby is Legitimate and that no sub
stitution was made Sir Edward Car.
