 while she was sick at the Rockefeller hospital had left there and had been transferred to the Orphan Asylum at Crown Point, Long Island, taking the baby with her.
 She immediately went to the Crown Point Orphan Asylum, and after much effort found the baby and brought hera back to Bridgeport where it could be cared for by her self and her mother.
 Miss Harris said that she had been married twice and that she has a boy 12 years of age.
 When interviewed in the matron's apartment at police headquarters Miss Harris said: T was working in New York a few months ago and while walking down Broadway near 33rd street I met Robert M. Carr, a friend of mine. He was in uniform and said he would be going to France in a little while. He said his wife, as Gertrude Parker, was very i'll in the hospital and asked me to go and see her
 When I visited Gertrude at the hospital in company with her hus- band she told me she was about to die and begged me to lodk after the little baby which was born only a few weeks ago. I promised to do so. In the meantime her husband had been ordered to France taking birth cer- tificates, marriage licenses, and every other document which would prove me to be right, with him.
 'I do not know this Rossy woman, and the only thing that I can say is that she is crazy if she says I stole her baby. I have a perfect right to have the baby and I intend to keep my promise to it's dead mother to look after it and bring it up as my own"

She endeavored to rent a baby from several hospitals, but was re- fused in every case. At last some one Rossy woman and she made a bargain with her to rent her baby, Marion, fo4 the sum of $5 per day.
 The only stipulation that Mrs, Rossy made was that her sister Marion should accompany the baby as it's aA tendant while Blossom Harris had il in her possession. Blossom, it is al. legged, took the baby and it's aunt tC Ehe apartment of Herbert and Morri.
