HAVING TRICKED
RICH HUSBAND
Boy Represented AS His
Struggled Into Home to
Appease Wish For Son.
by United Press Leased Wire

ROYAL OAK, Mich, March p
-Four year old Joseph Boyer, born in
obscurity but snatched up by fate
to luxury, swung back to compare
tive poverty today when Mrs.
\Laura A. NJ. Boyer revealed that
Hr three years she had foisted him
ukon her wealthy husband as then
chNd, whereas actually he was not.
" did it to save my home,' was
Mrs. Voyer s explanation.
In lN brief lifetime "Joseph
Boycr'Nas lived with a gold spoon
in his mApth. He attended an ex-
elusive Kindergarten in Palmer
Woods, DctNit, and was taken to
and from his\ehool in a great linn
CUISINE.
Without realizing it, of course,
he faced the pros Meet of an inheri-
tance of millions. Nom all appear
ances he was heir to tbe vast wealth
pyramided in the Burroughs Adding
Machine company Of which his
grandfather, Joseph Boyer, was
chairman of the board of directors.
Now, suddenly, "Joseph Boyer
has returned to the nameless state
in which he was bornA
His mother admitted in an inter
view that he was not hers, that his
birth - at her home in 1923 was
rot a birth, but trick by which
she smugglcd him into her home to
appeasc the desire for fatherhood
of her husband, Myron Libby Boy
Cf.
Mrs. Boyer is in full accord with
the suit. She said it was a friend
y action to establish correctly the
child s status.
81 have lost a home but won a
child the pseudo mother said.
The deceit has been worth n thou
sand times what it cost. | love this
boy more than anything else in the
wcrld.
I" Everything Mr.. Boyer charges
in his suit is true. l planned the de-
ception carefully to give my husband
his heart s desire-a son. | did it as
n desperate measure to save our
home. | thought a child s love would
make Mr.. Boyer happy and content
cd. 1t did-for a while. Then not
even the baby could hold him..
