NEW YORK. Dec. ga man
whose parentage has been a
mystery since he was abandoned
at the age of four on the steps OF
St. Patrick's Cathedral, will soon
inherit a substantial part of the
Jay Gould fortune.
His name is Finley J. Shepard,
'jr., but "a years ago he was known
to newspaper readers throughout
the nation as the boy with the
missing past.
NEVER IDENTIFIED
At midnight on September II,
1914, a policeman walking his beat
found a child on the cathedral
steps. The authorities were never
able to identify him. He was
placed in a home. The newspaper
stories about him remarked on his
good breeding, evidenced by his
table manners.
In 1915 the former Helen Gould,
who had recently married Finley
j. Shepard, adopted him and
named him for her husband. Six
years ago he met Ann Lorraine
Sheldon of Yonkers, while both
were studying music in Vienna,
and they were married.
