Missing Baby
Found in Home of
Cabaret Singer
Little Marion Rosy Res
cued in Bridgeport and
Restored to Mother

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Apr. %
Marion Rosy, the eight -months-o old
baby of Mrs. Katherine Rossy, of 1888
East 117th Street, or a baby whom the
police are satisfied is Marion. was re-
stored to her mother to-day after hav-
ing been missing for more than twen-
ty-four hours. In a cell at police head
quarters the police are OBTAINING Mrs.
Blassom Harris. a cabaret singer. She
is held on complaint of the New York
police, who charge her with being a
fugitive from justice. In New York
there is = warrant out charging her
With kidnapping.
And yet, despite these developments
IN what, on Monday, seemed likely to
prove 4 Sensational. kidnapping case,
the straigh ghtforward story told by the
Harris woman when arrested, and her
evident attachment for the infant,
more than half convinced many of the
officers it was possible some mistake
had been made The police are now
trying to check I'D on the story of Mrs.
When the police accused her or
stealing the Rosy baby Mrs. Harris
Indignantly denied the charge and as
serted the baby was Theresa Carr, the
daughter Of Robert Carr a member of
the United States Army Medical Corps,
attached to the 116th Base Hospital,
France The mother, she insisted, was
dead. She said she had gone on Mon
day to an orphan asylum on Long ISL
and, at the request Of the father, and
taken the child TO her home.
The woman and baby were brouCht
to Police Headquarters and word sent
to New York. Mrs. Rossy, in company
with detectives, reached here this af-
ternoon, and was taken at once to see
the baby. The infant was asleep when
she arrived. Sitting in the room with
it was the Harris woman.
The moment Mrs. Rossy espied the
baby she made rush TO grasp it in
her arms. At the same moment Mrs.
Harris sprang to prevent her touching
the baby, and it required the horts OF
several policemen 10 prevent trouble
between the women. Mrs. Rossy posi-
lively identified the baby by various
marks, and it was turned over to her.
Mrs. Rossy, bringing her baby and
accompanied by several detectives and
newspaper men, arrived at Grand Cen
tral Station late last night. A delega-
tion of Mrs. Rossys neighbors was at
the train to meet her, and when she
reached her modest home, in East 117th
Street, several hundred persons were
gathered about the house.
Mrs. Rosy would say nothing of the
case other than that there was no
question of the identity of the baby
and now that she had her daughte er
back she didn't care much what was
done to the woman who had taken the
child away.
The police profess to be at loss to
understand what motive Mrs. Harris
had in taking the baby. They arc GER
tain there has been no mistake made
in the matter of identification. how
ever. and expect 10 bring Mrs. Harris
here day.

District Attorneys office to a fourth

panied by several detectives, started
his crusade on the upper west side of

small details, visited many houses
where they had information they would
get evidence of wrongdoing and crime.
Up to an early hour this morning no
arrests had been made and no subpoena
had been served, the raid, unlike the
three previous ones, being practically
barren of~results up to that time.
From Harlem the prosecutor and his
men jumped downtown to the Tender
loin, where they visited several caba-
rets and places where they expected to
find evidence Of gambling. They did
not succeed in finding any gambling
outfit as they had expected.
