Fitchburg, Mass, October 25. = (UP) = The "Woman In Black" who stole Baby Kenneth A. Mclean, Jr., from his carriage in front of 8 Main street store yester- day had attempted to kidnap another infant at almost the same spot only nine days earlier, police were informed today. The Mclean baby, eight weeks old and the only child of a young machinist, still was missing at 2 a. m. = 16 hours after being snatched from its parked carriage by "a very large woman" who appeared to be dressed in mourning.
 An intensive search of the area by 300 Legionnaires, Boy Scouts and other volunteers had proved fruit less, but Mayor Alfred Woollacott, after a Sleepless night during which he assumed personal command, an- nounced that far greater hunt would be instituted this morning.
 Police Chief Thomas J. Cooley said his theory that mentally deranged woman-perhaps a mother whose own infant had died recently - stole the McLeaSl's baby seemed substantiated by a report from Mrs. Rose LemoYielix. She said she parked her baby carriage outside a Main street store October 15 and emerged from the store to see a woman in black walking away with

 "And there isn't any use of selling folks coming around trying to get some of it," Floyd added. "We're go- ing to tell all those people: "see our lawyer"
 The big toothy smiles that wreathed their faces amply hid their worry. They protested, feebly, however, that the money wasn't in their pockets yet.
 Principal concern of Floyd's was his estranged wife. She filed first di- vorce papers in August and Septem- Der 18 won temporary maintenance from a district court here.
