WOMAN PROMISES
TO REVEAL WHERE
MISSING BABY IS
Police Believe Her Child
Is the Bargain
Baby"

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 1S.-Mrs.
Agnes Darrah, the woman who holds
the secret as to the whereabouts of
the famous bargain baby" of Mrs.
Thelma Adams, has returned to Fort
Worth, and within the next "a hours,
according to her attorneys, will reveal
the mystery which has surrounded the
disappearance of the 3-year-old child,
or else she will be committed to Jail
on charges of contempt, there to be
held until she is willing to talk.
There is now pending a warrant
for her arrest and commitment on
charges of contempt, but because OF
her condition, which physicians de-
clared, is critical, the court has with
held from sending her te Jail for the
next "a hours.
Mrs. Darrah returned to Fort
Worth from Shreveport, La, where
she went last Tuesday morning to
avoid being sent to Jail on charges OF
contempt for refusing to answer ques-
tions of the court regarding the where
abouts of the bargain baby"
While a statewide search was in
progress for Mrs. Darrah since her dis
appearance, a telegram was received
by the Fort Worth Record Sunda,
night. in which Mrs. Darrah declared
that she would arrive Monday morn
ing and for an ambulance to be hell
in readiness at the station.
When she arrived she was imme'
diately taken away by her attorneys
but when officers were notified OF
her arrival, they took her into Gus
tody.
When she was brought into court
she was granted a period of "a hour
in which to learn the mystery of thu
disappearance of the Adams baby
which was taken from its mother
when it was born in maternity hom'
three years ago.
Since the hurried departure of Mrs
Darrah from the city last Tuesday,
accompanied by 3-year-old Ruth OAR
rah. whom police believe to be tn,
sought for baby. the child has been re
, covered. having been left by Mrs. Oar
rah with friends.
1t Is now in the custody Of the
court. awaiting clearance as to its par
Cntage
