 Ten years ago the child was ledt on the doorstep of the Guardian Angels home at Joliet that his birth might be concealed. Later his mother on her death bed. revealed the secret of his birth to her family and a search. which has continued for nine years and spread to all parts of the United States. was begun to regain the child.
 When members of the family got in touch with the guardian home, they were told the boy had been sent to St Vincent's Orphanage in Chicago, where it was learned he had been adopted by Mrs Ethel Hand and taken to Callfor- n.a where he was later adopted by Mrs Hands parents in San Francisco, po- lioe Lieutenant WilIam Ross and Mrs Ross.
 Urged by their promise to the dying mother members of the child's family after court battle won their conten- tion that the adoption i'm California wa. void, as the boy had been illegally re moved from lllinogS.
