whether she lS sane or insane. Dr.
Bcckwith said after the interview,

Mrs Rlokc certainly was NOT n Jrnc

sanity. although she was highly merry

of courage to race npr troubles was her
principal aiInent. he reported.
Chicf Snrapuc's rcport that Mrs
Blake is insane and a drug addict is not
borne out by the statements of several
doctors aud alenists who visited the
woman in the Atlantic City Hospital.
A trolley conductor reported TO police
hcadduartcrs last night that he had
carried the woman ard her son Friday
and that she asked him where she could
get rid Of Buddy" and walked toward
The Vcntnor pier and casino. where fhe
boy is thought TO have been thrown
