Mrs. Smith Becomes Hysterical
in Court Room When Deci-
sion Is Announced, But Later
Goes With Husband to Hos
pital and They Take Baby to
Their Home

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 23.-4)-
All smiles and dimples, the month
old baby girl that Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Smith brought to their home last
night, kicked vigorously at the sides
Of her crib today and waited patti
emily for her parents to give her a
name.
The doubt that clouded her iden-
tity was dispelled legally by Com
mon Pleas Judge Carl v. Weygandt
yesterday but it still existed in the
minds Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Smith.
when they went home with the in
FAINT in their care.
Judge Weygandt dismissed the
habeas corpus action by which the
Smiths hoped to compel officials of
Fairview park hospital to give them
back their son George"
The Judges Ruling
There was no evidence, he decided,
to prove that baby George" ever
existed, and while the evidence that
q daughter instead of son was
born to them was net conclusive be-
yond doubt, he believed it was
strong enough to show that Baby
Smith, female" probably was their
child.
There was a jumble of affairs at
the hospital and the tangle likely
resulted from. the mistaken idea Of
an attending rurse, who was under
emotional stress at the time Of the
birth, thai the baby vas a boy,
.Tuduo Wovrandt rl1led.
"Baby Smith, female" had only
that one name to distinguish her
today. That as her hospital des-
ignation from the time she was
born.
The parents said they had no idea
what they would call her or when
they would have her chri. tened.
Mrs. Smith Hysterical
When Judge Weygandt decided
that the infant girl was hers, Mrs.
Smith became hysteri. al and wept
bitterly. Scores Of fathers and
mothers in the court room, wiping
tears from their eyes. offered their
sympathy to the heart-broken
woman. Some of them offered to
take the baby girl and care for her.
Mrs. Smith became composed and,
with her husband, went to the hos
pital to get the disputed child. She
wrapped her in a big warm blanket
and they started home.
ut was the sporting thing to do
Ito take in the baby girl" said Sam
Smith. 1--WE brought it home be-
cause we didn't want to leave it on
the hospitals hands. But we still
are not satisfied that she is ours.
We brought her home and we'll take
care Of her. We haven't thought
anything about naming her"
Mrs. Smith had very little to say.
Her husband said they would try to
give the baby the same love and af-
fection they rendered their other
four children.
