TWO REFUSE GIRL BABY;
MAINTAIN CHILD WAS Roy.

New York.-Edward Rich and hia
wife Of 81 Dwight street, Jersey City,
formally refused yesterday afternoon
in the Office Of George r. Murray, Over
seer Of the Poor for Bergen County, to
accept the baby girl born in the Bergen
Sanitarium two months ago which tho
hospital and the county authorities
contend is theirs. The Riches however
declare that their baby was a boy and
that they we're told SO by the attend
ing physician and by nurse a week
after the child was born.
After they had refused the child,
Overseer Murray produced warrants
charging them with abandonment and
with failure to provide. The matter
will be threshed out this morning IN
the First Criminal Court before Judge
Leo Sullivan.
The baby that has caused all tho
trouble was horn prematurely. and I'm
mediately after birth was sent to tlr2
Mothers Institute where it was KEEP,
in an incubator until it had gained nor
nal strength. Later it was brought
back to the hospital and given to Mrs
Rich but she would not accept it, say
ing she had been told that the baby
born was Il boy. The child then
was turned over to the Overscer of the
Poor and kept in the institute until
yesterday when the hearing was held
in Mr.. Murray's office.
Mrs. Rich told the Overseer yester'
day that to keep the child alive she had
been nursing it and that both She ana
her husband will be willing and glad
to accept it if it could be proved that
it is the one born TO Mrs. Rich in tho
sanitarium. They said THAT they arc
acting on the advice Of their lawyer
and on their own conviction that the
child is not theirs.
Rich is q chief accountant in the Of
fices Of the Underwood typewriter Com
pany. He and his wife were married
In 1921 and the baby born two months
ago Is their first child.
