Identity Here in
Hunt for Mother
Claims He Lived in d. e.
Until Taken AiUay
By Father.

Having gone under the name of
Gene Hugenschmidt" all his life, q
28-year-old man claims to have
learned yesterday for the first time
through birth records here that his
real name is William Schmidt and
that he was born in Washington.
A nine-year search for his mother,
from whom he claims to have been
taken as baby, brought the young
man here, where he found in police
records that his mother had lived in
Washington or nearby as late as the
year 1914.
Travelled $1,000 Miles.
Since November of last year, young
Hugenschmidt claims to have travelled
some $1,000 miles in search of some
trace of her.
The youth learned his father left his
schmidt was a baby and had taken
their three children with him. Subse-
quently, Hugenschmidt said, he was
raised by his fathers brother in Seda-
liza. Mo. Learning some years ago
that the persons with whom he was
living were not his parents Hugen-
schmidt tried to locate his father and
mother.

father had died in Quincy. Ill
