Youth Learns of
True Parentage
Through Arrest
Mother" Tells Fremont Lad
Of Adoption to Shield
Daughters-Lad Held
as Burglar.

Fremont, Ncb., April l0.-(Special
Telegram. Leslie Mclaughlin, %,
charged with burglary, learned yes
terday that he is not the son OF the
woman he had been calling mother
ever since he can remember.
For the sake of her two high
school daughters, Mrs. F. L. Nc
Mclaughlin. Fremont. told the alleg-
ed burglar OH his return from Og-
den, Utah, in the custody of the
sheriff, that his real name is Jack
Ryan, and that he is an adpoted son.
Mrs. Mclaughlin told a pathetic
story of how she lost her first two
children. The adopted son was
brought to her arms when he was
but 48 hours old, in Chicago hos
pital. Since then she has mothered
him as one of her own and no one
else ever knew of the deception.
Shows Legal Papers.
The hcart-broken fostcr-mother
showed legal papers to prove her
claims. She made the confession to
the young man himself and public
officials in an attempt to prevent the
stigma of shame of his arrest from
affecting the regulations of her two
high school daughters, aged 16 and
IA. She does not want to shift the
burden of responsibility, however.
and will stick to her adopted son as
long as he needs her.
Mrs. Mclaughlin does not con-
done his alleged crime and wishes to
see him take his just punishment if
guilty. Until proved so. she says
she wifi do everything in her power
to help the youth whom she still
loves as her own son.
Implicated by Pal.
Mclaughlin. alias Ryan, was i'm
plicated in $500 robbery of a local
warehouse by a confession of his
pal, Fred Pennington, Fremont. Nc
Laughlin made his escape, but a
card sent to his supposed mother
from Wyoming gave the officials the
necessary clue. Mrs. Mclaughlin
believed that he had left for the west
to start life anew ard was wholly
ignorant of his escapade.
